What they need


  • We are looking for Test Engineers to support the full test lifecycle for satellite avionics hardware. You will design test interface boards (TIBs), embed design-for-test (DFT) practices into the board design process, and plan and execute board-level testing for engineering model (EM) and qualification model (QM) builds
  • This role spans all 19 avionics boards across 6 subsystems and is critical to ensuring hardware quality and flight readiness
  • Design test interface boards (TIBs) for board-level functional, environmental, and performance verification
  • Embed design-for-test (DFT) requirements into the board design process from schematic through layout
  • Develop and execute test plans and procedures for EM and QM board-level testing
  • Develop DVP&R (Design Verification Plan & Report) documentation for each board
  • Perform root-cause analysis and structured debugging when test failures occur
  • Build and maintain test automation frameworks for regression and production testing
  • Design test PCBs for fixtures, harnessing, and evaluation hardware
  • Operate RF and electronic test equipment including VNAs, spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers
  • Perform data analysis and statistical interpretation of test results
  • Collaborate with design engineers to draft test standards and improve testability of designs
  • Support JTAG programming, boundary scan, and debug access for board bring-up
  • Tools & Technologies:
  • Altium Designer (test board design)
  • Python or LabVIEW (test automation)
  • JTAG tools and boundary-scan software
  • Standard electronic test equipment (oscilloscopes, analyzers, VNAs)- Proficiency with electronic test equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, VNAs)
  • Strong skills in test automation scripting (Python, LabVIEW, or equivalent)
  • Hands-on lab experience with board bring-up, rework, and instrumentation
  • 4+ years of experience in hardware test engineering for aerospace, defense, or high-reliability electronics
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline
  • Experience with root-cause analysis and structured debugging methodologies
  • Experience designing test fixtures and test interface boards
  • Experience testing satellite or spacecraft avionics hardware through EM/QM/FM qualification cycles
  • Background in environmental testing (thermal cycling, vibration, shock)
  • Familiarity with DFT methodologies and testability analysis during design phase
  • Experience with JTAG-based test and debug
  • Knowledge of IPC workmanship standards and ESD-safe handling practices
  • Experience with data acquisition systems and automated test equipment (ATE)
