We are looking to add an

Electronics Test Engineer I

to our team. If you are great at what you do, enjoy working in a startup environment, and are passionate about developing critical test systems for leading-edge satellite, spacecraft, and aerospace communication systems, we would like to hear from you.

In this position, you will be responsible for designing and executing test plans and test equipment for space and airborne electronics. In the space industry, test engineering is a critical technical field that combines deep technical knowledge with extensive hands-on experience. Level I Test Engineers play a broad role that ranges from authoring test plans and procedures to designing test PCBs, along with spending plenty of time in the lab assembling and testing cutting-edge phased array systems and components.

Test Engineers work with electronics from the "design for testability" stage through verification and validation of high-speed digital circuits, power electronics, embedded systems, and more. Examples of projects may include designing and implementing verification systems for 10-gigabit data links, power control loops, and integrated RF systems. This may include designing custom circuit boards for test and integration purposes.

The ideal candidate is strong in electronics and test theory as well as hands-on lab work. Industry exposure to measurement techniques, test architectures, and automation are preferred. The successful candidate will work closely with multi-disciplinary teams to address company-wide hardware test needs.

Mentorship and growth are key to long-term success. The successful candidate will be surrounded by more experienced engineers in hardware as well as software, FPGAs, RF, mechanical, and other fields. Rapid technical and professional growth is both encouraged and expected.

JOB DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES :

• Designing test plans for board-level electronic assemblies, working closely with design engineers.
• Executing tests in the electronics lab, such as functional testing, digital signal integrity verification, or power converter control loop measurements.
• Executing multi-board assembly testing, such as functional testing of a complex phased array system.
• Designing test fixtures or equipment, such as custom PCBs for test or integration purposes.
• Planning integration of multiple prototype modules.
• Assembling complex test setups, working with design engineers and technicians.
• Troubleshooting and debugging hardware issues.
• Evaluating and documenting test results, presenting them to key stakeholders.
• Contributing to lab buildout and lab management.
