We invite you to be a part of our Space Resources Program. This initiative is at the forefront of developing In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) technologies, destined for the Moon and beyond to prospect, extract, and manufacture infrastructure from in-situ space resources. If you're passionate about our mission and are looking to make a meaningful contribution, you might just be the ideal candidate to join our innovative and forward-thinking  this hands-on role, you will be based entirely on-site, working directly in the lab alongside our interdisciplinary design and integration teams.

We are looking for a highly skilled and experienced
** Sr. Test Engineer
** to own test planning, execution, and verification for satellite and subsystem integration campaigns with a hands-on attitude. You will define test requirements and procedures, lead qualification and acceptance testing, drive root-cause investigations on test anomalies and failures, and partner closely with AIT technicians, design engineers, and program leadership to rapidly converge on flight-ready hardware. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment and is comfortable making credible technical calls with incomplete data while balancing technical risk, schedule pressure, and evolving program needs.
** Responsibilities
* ** Define, develop, and own test plans, procedures, and verification criteria for development, integration, qualification, protoflight, and acceptance testing of satellite and space flight hardware.
* Lead thermal vacuum (TVAC), vibration, and other environmental test campaigns, including hands-on test setup review, execution oversight, real-time monitoring, and data analysis.
* Translate system and subsystem requirements into verifiable test requirements and ensure full test coverage and traceability.
* Direct and support AIT technicians during test setup, execution, and troubleshooting, providing hands-on technical guidance and quality oversight on the lab floor.
* Perform
** hands-on
** troubleshooting, failure investigation, and root cause analysis of complex mechanical, electrical, and integrated spacecraft systems.
* Drive corrective and preventive actions to closure, with hands-on involvement in test re-runs and verification.
* Review and approve work instructions, test procedures, and non-conformance dispositions in alignment with aerospace test and integration best practices.
* Develop and maintain automation scripts, data acquisition procedures, and analysis tools (using Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, or similar) to streamline test execution, data reduction, and anomaly detection.
* Analyze test data and generate test reports, summarizing results, anomalies, and recommendations for program stakeholders.
* Collaborate with design, thermal, and subsystem leads to resolve integration issues and ensure producible, testable designs.
* Support development and production activities on space systems and satellites with a pragmatic, right-sized documentation approach appropriate for a rapid-development program.
* Partner with the area supervisor and program leads to align on weekly testing priorities, schedule risks, and resource needs.
