About the role

  • Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.
  • True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement data acquisition systems for propulsion, fluids, mechanical, avionics, and environmental test campaigns including sensor selection, signal conditioning, and DAQ hardware architecture.
  • Develop automated test control and sequencing software using LabVIEW, Python, MATLAB, or similar platforms to enable safe, repeatable, and efficient test execution.
  • Commission, calibrate, and validate instrumentation and DAQ systems prior to test campaigns, including end-to-end checkout and uncertainty analysis.
  • Develop real-time monitoring displays, safety interlocks, and automated abort logic for hazardous test operations.
  • Perform post-test data processing, analysis, and visualization to support engineering disposition and requirements verification.
  • Establish and maintain data management processes including file naming conventions, metadata standards, archival procedures, and configuration control for test data.
  • Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical, computer, aerospace, mechanical engineering, computer science, or related technical discipline.
  • Years of relevant experience in data acquisition, test automation, instrumentation, or control systems engineering for aerospace, defense, or high-reliability test environments in line with engineering level.
  • Hands-on experience with data acquisition hardware (National Instruments, Keysight, HBM,etc.) and software platforms (LabVIEW, MATLAB, Python)
  • Working knowledge of instrumentation including pressure transducers, thermocouples, load cells, strain gauges, accelerometers, and flow meters.
  • Experience with signal conditioning, analog and digital I/O, and measurement uncertainty analysis.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills with ability to work across multidisciplinary test teams.
  • Strong programming skills in at least one language commonly used for test automation(Python, LabVIEW, MATLAB, C/C++).
  • Strong troubleshooting skills for hardware and software integration issues in test environments.
