Satellite AIT Engineer @ E-Space

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 Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.

What is the role:

As a Satellite AIT Engineer, you will participate in all phases of the E-Space satellite testing program, from satellite sub-system validation to system integration phases, as well as technical support for satellite environmental testing. You will be in charge of building necessary HW and SW infrastructure (Ground Support Equipment - GSE) for the testing activities, preparing and executing test procedures and reporting anomalies to the System Engineering team.

You will work collaboratively with engineers of various satellite sub-systems to understand their testing needs and integrate test benches accordingly. As an engineer on the E-Space AIT team you will have the opportunity to test thousands of flight hardware units and directly contribute to the success of innovative satellites.

This role is based in Saratoga, CA.

Why this role is important:

Develop and integrate GSE for sub-system validation (sub-system test bench)
PCBA and harness review before unit integration into the sub-system test benches
Ensure that the sub-system validation process is covered by satellite TMTC database
Elaborate validation test procedures with sub-system teams, and executing them
Track anomalies detected during the execution of the test procedures
Support flatsat testing activities: GSE, test procedures, anomaly reporting, and satellite TMTC database
Contribute to satellite environmental tests
Work with flight hardware designers on design-for-test strategies
Contribute to the development of engineering best practices to support most efficient testing

What you’ll be doing:

Bachelor of Science degree in engineering
5+ years of experience in space engineering, incl. electronics test engineering or hardware development, harness manufacturing
Understanding of electrical test equipment, test procedures, data acquisition systems and instrumentation
Experience in environmental testing such as vibration, shock, thermal and TVAC
Demonstrated success working in a dynamic environment

Extra point for the following:

Proficiency with Altium Designer for schematic capture and PCB layout
Understanding of designing electronic hardware from concept through production
Experience with radiation effects testing
Programming experience in Python, MATLAB, or LabView
Project/program management skills
