Golden, Colorado, United States Loft Orbital Full time
About Us

Loft Orbital builds "shareable" satellites, providing a fast & simple path to orbit for organizations that require access to space. Powered by our hardware & software products, we operate satellites, fly customer payloads onboard, and handle entire missions from end to end - significantly reducing the lead-time and risk of a traditional space mission.

Our standard interface enables us to fly multiple customer payloads on the same satellite, with capabilities such as earth imagery, weather & climate /science data collection, IoT connectivity, in-orbit demonstrations, and national security missions. Our customers trust us to manage their space infrastructure, so they can focus on what matters most to them: operating their mission and collecting their data.

About This Role

We are looking for a highly experienced Principal Test Engineer to join our team at Loft Orbital. In this role, you will be responsible for developing and executing robust test strategies and processes that ensure the highest standards of product quality across a range of complex aerospace hardware.

You will work closely with our design, software and manufacturing teams to optimize test workflows, drive the creation of customized ground support equipment, and solve complex technical challenges while providing senior technical leadership to a growing team.

Responsibilities
  • Develop and execute test plans, specifications, and procedures.
  • Design, develop, and implement automated testing systems, tooling, and/or ground support equipment (GSE).
  • Oversee the execution of test programs, validate test documentation, and ensure equipment meets requirements.
  • Analyze test data, troubleshoot and resolve complex issues with hardware and equipment.
  • Generate clear, comprehensive test reports, including flags/non-conformances and other necessary documentation.

$120,350 - $175,000 per year

Requirements
  • At least 10 years of professional experience in aerospace engineering, with a strong background in systems-level testing and validation.
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering or equivalent experience in a relevant field.
  • Expertise in interpreting engineering documentation (e.g., electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, CAD models, wire lists).
  • Extensive knowledge of requirements management, system design, integration, and test functions.
  • Proven track record in conducting or designing environmental tests, including thermal, thermal vacuum (TVAC), EMI, vibration, shock, acoustic, etc.
  • Deep experience with testing equipment, instrumentation, and standards (e.g., GEVS), and methodologies for both manual and automated testing.
  • Strong familiarity with product quality assurance principles and experience managing test flags, non-conformance documentation, and corrective actions.
  • Proficiency in scripting and automation tools (e.g., Python, Lua, MATLAB, VBA).
  • Excellent problem-solving, analytical thinking, and communication skills (both written and verbal), with an ability to lead technical discussions and mentor junior engineers.
Why Work With Us?
  • We offer competitive salaries and comprehensive benefits.
  • Flexible work arrangements and remote work options.
  • Opportunities for career growth and professional development.
  • A collaborative and supportive team environment.
