You will collaborate with engineers across various disciplines to create an automated testing framework for satellite avionics and systems. This includes developing test methodologies, custom embedded software, and PC-based testing solutions, while supporting rigorous flight-like evaluations of satellite hardware.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design avionics testing architecture for satellites and specific PCBAs.
  • Develop embedded firmware for custom avionics test PCBAs using C/C++.
  • Create PC-based automated test control software and graphical user interfaces (GUIs) in Python.
  • Implement database-related code for effective storage and processing of test data.
  • Conduct verification testing of custom test software and hardware designs.
  • Formulate test procedures in collaboration with other engineering teams.
  • Support automated testing of satellite electronics at both unit and system levels, including anomaly resolution.
  • Collaborate with flight hardware designers on design-for-test strategies.
  • Contribute to the establishment of engineering and production best practices to enhance manufacturing efficiency.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor of Science degree in Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 10+ years of experience in embedded C/C++ and Python development and testing.
  • Proficiency in electronics hardware, including the ability to interpret schematics and PCB layouts, and perform basic hardware testing with lab equipment.
  • Ability to create basic harnesses for engineering purposes.
  • Strong documentation skills for software architecture designs, test procedures, results, and analysis.
  • Proven success in a dynamic work environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Master's degree in Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience with satellite ground data systems.
  • Capability to design PCBAs, including schematics and PCB layout.
  • Proficiency with Altium Designer.
  • Skills in FPGA design using Verilog or VHDL.
  • Experience with mechanical design in Solidworks.

This is a full-time, exempt position. The target base pay for this role ranges from $150,000 to $210,000 annually, with total compensation determined by various factors including relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.

At E-Space, we are redefining satellite design, manufacturing, and utilization. We seek candidates with passion, deep knowledge, and direct experience in LEO satellite component development, design, and in-orbit operations.
