  • Develop, execute, and analyze avionics system testing on flight hardware to validate the as-built vehicle is 'go for launch' and root cause issues that require in-depth investigations.
  • Support build and capsule maintenance through troubleshooting build problems and work to simplify and streamline recurring work to enable a higher launch cadence with higher reliability and lower labor hours per mission.
  • Support mission operations by providing real-time input during flight, completing data reviews and monitoring system performance, and working with partners to simplify operation of systems.
  • Work collaboratively with other teams and customers to define the scope of development projects and initial product requirements as new designs move from concept, through prototype, and into production.
  • Define acceptance testing and qualification requirements of new and existing hardware, perform development and qualification testing to prove out design, and formally document test results.
Requirements:
  • Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline or physics.
  • 1+ years of experience using software such as Python, C++, and/or Matlab.
  • 1+ years of experience with electrical component design, system level integration of electronic components, or system level testing.
Preferred Skills and Experience:

  • Experience with wire harness design and build, including associated sub-components.
  • Experience with NX or similar CAD software.
  • Experience with PCBA design and Altium or similar software.
  • Experience with RF system design or testing.
  • Competence with electrical test equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes, network analyzers, power supplies, etc.).
  • Software fluency, enabling automation of test or analysis tasks and manipulation of large data sets.
  • Creative problem solver that can bring multiple disciplines together with the ability to assess risk and make design and development decisions with limited data.
  • Self-motivated with strong learning, multi-tasking, organizational, and documentation skills.
  • Strong sense of accountability and integrity with excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, autonomously driven, and demanding atmosphere.
