About the Job

Requirements

A high school diploma or equivalency certificate.
At least 4 years of experience working on electronic or propulsion assemblies and/or in a test production environment, or a bachelor's degree in an engineering field.
Deep knowledge of the safe operation of electrical, power, and data acquisition systems.
Proficiency with wiring and electrical systems.
Ability to fabricate and acquire parts to build test capabilities from basic requirements with minimal direction.
Ability to troubleshoot problems with electrical systems and implement practical solutions.

Responsibilities

Work closely with test engineers to design and implement complex test setups for development and/or production environments, such as integrated systems testing in a thermal vacuum chamber with additional instrumentation for model validation.
Work with test engineers, manufacturing engineers, and production technicians to improve production test processes, acceptance test flow, and automation.
Perform maintenance and calibration activities for environmental and robotic test equipment.
Respond to production-related non-conformances and drive them to root cause and disposition.
Maintain process planning documents and provide feedback when necessary.
Provide training and guidance to other technicians.
Provide training and guidance to engineers regarding practical test setups and instrumentation.
Support the avionics test team's participation when interfacing with related departments, such as integrated vehicle testing or propulsion testing.

As a Test Technician, you will perform a wide range of spacecraft component and assembly testing while developing and maintaining state-of-the-art test equipment. You will work closely with engineering to improve overall test processes across the company.

About the Company

Impulse Space

In-space propulsion and payload mobility

Impulse Space builds in-space mobility services and propulsion to move payloads after launch. Its products include Mira for precise maneuvering and rendezvous, Helios high-energy kick stage, Caravan rideshare to higher-energy orbits, and propulsion lines Saiph, Deneb, and Rigel. These tools act as in-space tugs and stages to push, dock, and deploy payloads in orbit. Led by SpaceX veteran Tom Mueller, Impulse Space uses flight-proven hardware and a growing network of facilities to make reaching higher-energy orbits faster and cheaper, expanding access for customers.
