About the role

This is a critical leadership role within our Operations team, focusing on ensuring the quality, reliability, and manufacturability of our cutting-edge space and terrestrial hardware.
The systems under test include complex power, network, Radio Frequency (RF), baseband systems, and advanced phased array antennas.
We are seeking people who love to solve hard problems, have a bias for action and extreme task ownership.

Lead the definition and documentation of comprehensive production test requirements, procedures, and specifications for all satellite payload modules and ground terminal systems.
Collaborate with HW and SW design teams to ensure Design for Test (DFT) principles are integrated into the product architecture from the earliest stages of development.
Manage the selection, procurement, deployment, and validation of all necessary production test equipment (ATE, custom fixtures, RF test sets, etc.) across internal and CM facilities.
Develop, deploy, and maintain robust test software (drivers, sequences, reporting tools) in collaboration with SW teams to automate test execution and data collection.
Define and manage production test limits, guard banding strategies, and yield targets, driving continuous improvement activities to optimize test efficiency and reduce Cost of Goods Sold (COGS).
Analyze test data and production yields to identify root causes of failures, drive corrective actions with engineering teams, and implement process improvements.
Develop and implement training programs for manufacturing personnel on test procedures and equipment operation.
Lead efforts to scale production test infrastructure globally as production volume increases.

U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export controlled data.
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline with equivalent experience.
5+ years of experience in Quality Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or Operations within a high-volume, complex hardware production environment.
5+ years of experience in hardware production test engineering or manufacturing test engineering, with 2+ years in a technical leadership or supervisory role.
Hands-on experience with standard RF test equipment (Spectrum Analyzers, Vector Network Analyzers, Signal Generators, Power Meters).
Proficiency in test automation scripting/programming languages (e.g., Python, C#, LabVIEW).
Experience partnering directly with Contract Manufacturers (CMs) for high-volume production test deployment and management.

Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
Experience with production tests for space systems, satellite payloads, or aerospace hardware.
Direct experience testing phased array antennas, beamforming systems, or complex communications links.
Familiarity with industry standards for quality control and reliability testing (e.g., ISO, AS9100).
Strong understanding of statistical process control (SPC) and data analysis techniques used in manufacturing environments.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate technical concepts to both engineering and executive audiences.
Logos Space Services is an equal opportunity employer committed to fostering creativity, curiosity and diverse perspectives among employees.
Offers will be contingent on the candidate's ability to access export-controlled information under U.S. law.
