🛰 Environmental Test Engineer – Vibration & TVAC | Space Systems

Are you passionate about building hardware that survives launch and thrives in orbit?

We’re supporting a space company that’s building the first and only global cellular broadband network in space
, enabling standard mobile phones to connect directly to satellites— no ground infrastructure needed.

They’re hiring an Environmental Test Engineer to join their mission. You'll be hands‑on with shakers, TVAC chambers, data systems, and high‑stakes flight hardware
, verifying spacecraft components through vibration and thermal vacuum testing. This role is perfect for someone who wants to work cross‑functionally, build out cleanroom test setups, and ensure mission‑critical systems survive launch and space.

• Writing and executing test plans for vibration (sine, random, shock) and TVAC testing
• Setting up and calibrating shakers, vacuum chambers, thermal instrumentation, and DAQ systems
• Collaborating with design, manufacturing, and systems engineering to define test requirements
• Monitoring and troubleshooting test campaigns in real time
• Leading root cause investigations when anomalies occur
• Producing detailed test reports (including data, plots, and pass/fail assessments)
• Driving continuous improvement across environmental test processes and infrastructure

• 3+ years of experience in space or defense environmental testing
• Strong hands‑on background with shakers, TVAC chambers, accelerometers, and thermal sensors
• Familiarity with MIL‑STD‑1540, NASA GEVS, ECSS
  , or related standards
• Solid understanding of test instrumentation, fixturing, and contamination control
• Engineering degree (Mechanical, Aerospace, or similar)
• Experience with LabVIEW, Test Stand, MATLAB, or Python for automation and data analysis
• Satellite or launch vehicle campaign experience
• Cleanroom discipline and high‑reliability mindset

This is a chance to test spacecraft that will connect billions around the world. If you want a role where your work has real mission impact, let's talk.
