Descripción del empleo

Here at The Exploration Company, we are building spacecrafts for humanity.

We are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refueled in orbit, and which carries cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run.

We want you as a hands‑on AIT Electrical/Harness Technician to help us in our mission by building, integrating, maintaining and documenting Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) and electrical harnesses used for FM1 integration and on‑site ground testing, to ensure that our mission will succeed and our system will work in space!

Key Responsibilities

In your role as an AIT Electrical/Harness Technician, your role will include the following responsibilities:

Build, wire, assemble and inspect EGSE assemblies and associated electrical harnesses in accordance with released drawings, bills of materials and work instructions

Where drawings or complete work instructions are unavailable, use available information and agreed engineering direction to support practical build decisions, capture the as-built configuration and any assumptions or open points, and seek review and approval before the equipment is used

Manufacture, terminate, label, route, inspect and maintain electrical harnesses and test cables used during FM1 integration and ground testing

Perform prescribed electrical checks, such as continuity, pinout and polarity checks, using approved procedures, equipment and acceptance limits

Support installation, setup, connection, disconnection and removal of EGSE and harnesses in integration areas and at on‑site ground-test locations

Maintain and troubleshoot EGSE, harnesses and test cables; identify faults and report discrepancies for engineering or quality disposition before making changes outside approved instructions

Support engineers and test teams during integration and ground-test activities by preparing equipment, maintaining tidy cable routing and assisting with approved checks

Maintain accurate build, inspection, test, maintenance and as-built records, including equipment identification and configuration status

Keep track of tools and measuring equipment used for the work, including their serviceability and calibration status where applicable

Follow applicable electrical-safety, ESD, clean-work-area and hardware-handling requirements

Support the packing, transport, deployment and return of EGSE and harnesses for ground-test campaigns

Help maintain an orderly workshop, equipment inventory and stock of consumables.

What we would love to see from you

In the role of AIT Electrical/Harness Technician, ideally you will bring the following skillset, mentality and experience:

Vocational training or apprenticeship in electrical/electronic engineering, electronics, mechatronics or a comparable qualification; equivalent practical experience will also be considered

Hands‑on experience assembling electrical wiring, cable harnesses, electrical panels or rack‑based equipment; experience in aerospace AIT or with EGSE is an asset

Practical skills in wire preparation, crimping, connector termination, cable routing and labelling; soldering experience is an asset where required by the work instructions

Ability to read and follow electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, connector pinouts, assembly drawings and work instructions

Experience using hand tools and basic electrical measurement equipment, such as a multimeter or continuity tester

Careful approach to workmanship, inspection, configuration control and recording completed work

Willingness to stop and raise a discrepancy when a drawing, label, measurement or instruction does not agree, rather than making an unauthorised change

Basic fault‑finding skills and the ability to communicate findings clearly to engineers and test teams

Willingness to work hands‑on in workshops, integration areas and on‑site test locations, including supporting time‑critical campaign activities

Sense of responsibility and a clean, organized and safety‑conscious way of working

Fluent in written and spoken English

Willingness to travel for ground‑test and launch campaigns.
