The Aalyria Space team is building the infrastructure for the next generation of high-speed optical communications, and this critical role sits at the center of making it work in the real world.
As a Communication System Test Engineer, you'll be responsible for qualifying our coherent optical modem systems from component level through full system integration, owning the test bench from hardware selection all the way through root-cause analysis and final performance sign-off.
This isn't a checkbox-testing role. You'll design and execute the experiments that determine whether our free space optical communications products actually perform, setting up benches with BERTs, AWGs, high-speed oscilloscopes, OSAs, and coherent DSPs, writing the automation that makes testing repeatable and scalable, and digging into the data with Python or MATLAB when results don't match the model. When something's broken, you'll be the one who figures out why.
You'll work closely with design, systems, and firmware teams across the product lifecycle, not just catching issues, but shaping how performance is characterized, what specifications mean in practice, and how findings translate into product decisions.
If you're the kind of engineer who gets absorbed by a tricky optical link budget problem and won't let go until you understand it, this role is built for you.
