About the role

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable?
E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services.
This is a specialized role at the intersection of mechanisms, structural testing, and test facility engineering - for someone who has thought carefully about what it actually means to simulate zero-gravity deployment on the ground.

Own the environmental test plan for the integrated antenna structure - vibration, shock, acoustic, and TVAC - from requirements flow-down to test report.
Define test levels and acceptance/qualification margins based on launch vehicle environments and system-level requirements, working with the structures analyst and IAS lead.
develop test procedures, pre-test predictions, and test-as-you-fly configurations.
Perform real-time data monitoring during test execution
make go/no-go calls and manage test anomaly response in accordance with procedures.
Own post-test inspection, data reduction, and correlation of test results against pre-test predictions.
Document test results
maintain test verification closure records in the V&V matrix.
Instrument and fixture test articles; develop test procedures, pre-test predictions, and test-as-you-fly configurations.
Perform real-time data monitoring during test execution; make go/no-go calls and manage test anomaly response in accordance with procedures.

Experience planning and executing structural environmental test campaigns - vibration, shock, or thermal-vacuum - for flight or high-reliability hardware.
Experience with fixturing, instrumentation (accelerometers, strain gauges, RTDs/PRTs), and data acquisition systems.
Familiarity with MIL-STD-1540, GEVS, or equivalent environmental test standards.
Hands-on test facility presence is required.

TVAC deployment testing experience, or equivalent thermal-vacuum test of mechanism or deployable hardware.
Experience with model-test correlation and understanding of how fixturing and test-article mass affect frequency response.
Familiarity with structural dynamics analysis tools (Nastran, ANSYS, or equivalent).
This is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Saratoga, CA or Arlington, TX office.
