About the role

  • Our engineers work on a variety of space-grade electronics, from power and digital subsystems to RF/mixed signal systems.
  • Moreover, your contribution will not be limited to Earth's orbit.
  • We also conduct interplanetary missions, like the Lunar Gateway - a small spaceship in orbit around the moon that astronauts will use as a staging point for lunar surface expeditions and trips to Mars.

Responsibilities

  • Define software architecture and lead development of test automation frameworks, instrument control layers, and data acquisition/processing pipelines used across STE platforms.
  • Develop, maintain, and validate instrument drivers and device interfaces for common electronic test equipment (oscilloscopes, network analyzers, power supplies, DAQs, Loads, PXI Chassis, etc.).
  • Implement test sequences, automated test stations, and data logging using C#, LabVIEW, TestStand, Python, and/or MATLAB as appropriate for the project.
  • Design and implement modular, maintainable, and testable software components informed by sound SW architecture principles (layering, abstraction, dependency injection, CI/CD, unit/integration testing).
  • Build user interfaces and operator tools (desktop GUIs, dashboards, command‑line utilities) to enable technicians and test engineers to execute and monitor tests efficiently.
  • Lead hands‑on lab integration: deploy software to test benches, exercise instruments, capture data, and troubleshoot system-level anomalies together with the multidisciplinary team.
  • Implement automated data analysis, reporting, and pass/fail criteria for test campaigns
  • Use and extend build/test infrastructure (source control like SVN/Git, issue tracking, CI tools) to support reproducible builds, automated testing, and release processes.
  • Create and maintain documentation: architecture diagrams, API docs, test procedures, maintenance guides, and technician work instructions.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's Degree or Equivalent
  • To meet U.S. export control compliance requirements, a "U.S. Person" as defined by 22 C.F.R. §120.62 is required. "U.S. Person" includes U.S. Citizen, U.S. National, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee.
  • This position requires the ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance for which the U.S. Government requires U.S. Citizenship.
  • An interim and/or final U.S. Top Secret/SCI Clearance Post-Start is required.
  • Ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance for which the U.S. Government requires U.S. Citizenship
  • store and manage test results and metadata using version control and PLM/PDM integration where required.

Nice to have

  • A bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering
  • Experience designing automated test systems for power/digital and RF/mixed signal systems.
  • Proven troubleshooting experience in lab environments such as diagnosing software, instrument, and integration issues during test execution.
  • Experience with electronics laboratory instrumentation to troubleshoot circuit design and hardware manufacturing errors.
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to work in multidisciplinary teams.
  • Conflict of Interest:
  • Successful candidates for this job must satisfy the Company's Conflict of Interest (COI) assessment process.
  • In the USA, ABET accreditation is the preferred, although not required, accreditation standard.

Compensation
