Key skills for this role
The Senior RF Integration & Test Engineer will own the complete testing lifecycle for satellite TT&C and GNSS subsystems. This role operates across both the RF development laboratory and the spacecraft integration cleanroom, defining and executing RF test campaigns from early technology validation through flight hardware integration and environmental qualification.
The engineer will validate satellite test procedures, develop and verify automated test software, and execute test campaigns that ensure spacecraft RF systems perform reliably from the factory floor to orbit. This position plays a critical role in ensuring ground system compatibility and supporting mission success through In-Orbit Testing (IOT) and satellite commissioning.
