Full Job Posting

Key Responsibilities:

  • Test Design and Fabrication: Design, fabricate, and instrument test rigs and stands for deployable mechanisms, structural test articles, and motor/actuator hardware. Fabricate and wire data acquisition (DAQ) systems, including sensor selection, signal conditioning, and instrumentation layout. Produce fabrication drawings, wiring schematics, and instrumentation lists for test equipment. Examine opportunities for streamlining and automating testing where necessary for acceptance testing or long term production.

  • Examine opportunities for streamlining and automating testing where necessary for acceptance testing or long term production.
  • Test Operations and Data Review: Operate test systems across development, acceptance, and qualification testing, from full-scale deployment tests down to subassembly-level characterization. Run test campaigns hands-on, including test article integration, activation, execution, and troubleshooting. Reduce and review test data, and work with design engineers to identify anomalies and root cause. Own the outcome, not just the execution: synthesize test results and performance trends into concrete recommendations back to design and manufacturing to mature the hardware — you're expected to catch what the data is telling you before it becomes a program problem.

  • Procedures and Qualification: Develop and write acceptance test procedures (ATPs) and qualification test plans for flight hardware and ground support equipment. Define qualification approaches and acceptance testing methods in coordination with responsible engineers. Maintain configuration control of test procedures, test data, and as-run documentation.

Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 1+ years of experience in a hands-on engineering role fabricating or operating test hardware, DAQ systems, or test rigs.
  • Experience developing test procedures, including acceptance test or qualification test documentation.
  • Working knowledge of instrumentation and data acquisition fundamentals (sensors, signal conditioning, sampling).
  • Demonstrated ability of taking project ownership and working well in small teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • ~5 years of experience in hardware development testing.
  • Direct experience testing spaceflight hardware — through development, acceptance, and qualification testing.
  • Direct prior experience designing, fabricating, and operating test rigs and stands for mechanisms, structural test articles, motors, or actuators, including DAQ hardware/software and common test instrumentation.
  • Direct prior experience with large, lightweight deployable structure testing (gravity offload, deployment dynamics, or similar test methods).
  • Demonstrated data reduction, data review and automation proficiency/capabilities.

Additional Requirements:

  • Willingness to work extended hours and weekends as necessary to support critical project milestones.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or eligible for authorization under U.S. export regulations.
