Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!

E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of space-powered Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are fundamentally changing the design, economics, manufacturing, coverage limitations and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

By building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system—with a unique antenna design, highly sustainable spacecraft system and low-cost, small portable end-user devices—we can extend global satellite coverage, capacity and connectivity beyond legacy space services to provide a new kind of IoT platform that lets users sense, track, connect and act on information gathered, anywhere.

We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to saving space, protecting our planet and turning connectivity into actionable intelligence.

What is the role:

As a Senior AIT Engineer, you will participate in the E-Space satellite assembly integration and testing (AIT) activities. As part of the E-Space AIT team, you will have the opportunity to test thousands of flight hardware units and directly contribute to the success of an innovative satellite architecture on-orbit.

This position is based in Saratoga, CA.

What you will do:

Spacecraft sub-system acceptance:

• Organize the acceptance of the spacecraft sub-systems before integration to the flatsat (EM), or to the satellite structure (FM)

EM flatsat activities:

• Define the Verification and Validation (V&V) requirements for the activity

• GSE definition and procurement

• Satellite procedure creation and execution on the flatsat

• Result collection

• V&V requirement Statement of Compliance

• Participate in the spacecraft unit qualification test campaigns.

FM AIT activities:

• GSE definition and procurement

• Satellite procedure creation and execution on the FM Spacecraft

• Result collection

• V&V requirement statement of compliance

• FM Satellite environmental test Campaign

What you bring to this role:

Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering
7+ years of experience in spacecraft engineering
Previous experience with a satellite AIT campaign
Good understanding of spacecraft subsystem development, having been involved in the development of at least one
Understanding of electrical test equipment, test procedures, data acquisition systems and instrumentation
Experience in environmental testing such as vibration, shock, thermal and TVAC
Programming experience in Python, MATLAB/Simulink
Demonstrated success working in a dynamic environment

Bonus points:

Experience with radiation effects testing
Project/program management skills

We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that’s your experience – then we’ll be immediately wow-ed.
