Zusammenfassung

Jobspage is seeking a mid-level AIT Engineer to own assembly, integration, and test activities for CubeSat subsystems, including avionics, power, radios, and sensors. The role is hands-on and execution-heavy, based in a clean room, with end-to-end responsibility from bring-up to launch preparation.

You will troubleshoot electrical and thermal issues, develop harnesses, calibrate GSE, integrate firmware with flight hardware, and generate test reports.

Qualifikationen

• Bachelor-level engineering degree in a relevant field.
• Experience with embedded hardware and space-grade interfaces.
• Hands-on hardware bring-up and integration experience.

Aufgaben

• Own AIT activities end-to-end for CubeSat subsystems.
• Perform hands-on hardware bring-up, integration, debugging, re-test.
• Define and build harnesses and maintain interconnect docs.
• Develop and maintain GSE, test setups, and instrumentation.
• Integrate software components with flight hardware.
• Write tests, execute campaigns, and produce reports.
• Plan environmental test campaigns (TVAC, vibration, etc.).
• Troubleshoot electrical, thermal, and mechanical anomalies.
• Apply EMI/EMC principles during integration and test.
• Work with onboard interfaces such as RS-422/232, UART, I2C, CSP, SPI, CAN.
• Maintain traceable AIT documentation (ICDs, test plans).
• Support launch campaign integration and operations on-site when required.

Jobbeschreibung

We are a startup developing missions for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and are looking for a mid-level AIT Engineer with a strong hands-on mindset and a willingness to get into the details of hardware. This role is execution-heavy, with end-to-end responsibility spanning assembly, integration, testing, and launch preparation.

You will play a key role in bringing the spacecraft design to life — working directly in the clean room, bringing up hardware, chasing down electrical and thermal issues, and making sure that integration and test on schedule under LEO mission constraints.

Key Responsibilities

• Own Assembly, Integration and Test (AIT) activities end-to-end for CubeSat subsystems, including avionics, power systems, radios, payload electronics, and sensors.
• Perform hands-on hardware bring-up, integration, debugging, rework, and re-test in the clean room and lab environment.
• Define and build harnesses (RF, power, signal) and maintain electrical interconnect documentation.
• Develop, calibrate, and maintain Ground Support Equipment (GSE), test setups, and required instrumentation.
• Integrate software components (firmware, configuration files) with flight hardware.
• Write test procedures and test scripts, execute test campaigns, and produce test reports.
• Plan, support, and analyze environmental test campaigns appropriate for LEO missions, including TVAC, vibration, shock, and TID.
• Troubleshoot and resolve electrical, thermal, and mechanical anomalies using schematics, lab equipment (oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer), and engineering judgment.
• Apply EMI/EMC principles during integration and test; investigate and mitigate interference issues as they arise.
• Work directly with onboard interfaces and protocols such as RS-422/232, UART, I2C, CSP, SPI, and CAN.
• Maintain traceable AIT documentation, including ICDs, test plans, verification matrices, and anomaly/corrective action reports.
• Support launch campaign integration and early mission operations as a technical contributor, including on-site participation when required.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Aerospace, Systems, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 2–5 years of relevant experience in satellite, aerospace, or high-reliability embedded hardware systems.
• Solid understanding of CubeSat system hierarchy and subsystem interactions.
• Practical experience with embedded and spacecraft interfaces (RS-422/232, UART, I2C, CSP, SPI, CAN, etc.).
• Working knowledge of environmental testing for space hardware.
• Strong understanding of EMI/EMC fundamentals and grounding.
• Comfortable working in a clean room environment under proper handling and discipline.
• Ability to troubleshoot issues using schematics, lab equipment, logs, and engineering judgment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience in an aerospace company.
• Direct involvement in at least one LEO mission through integration, environmental testing, and launch preparation.
• Experience defining acceptance vs. qualification test strategies for COTS-based spacecraft.
• Working proficiency with mechanical and electrical CAD tools.
• Familiarity with deployers, launch integrators, and rideshare integration processes.
• Familiarity with IPC standards and PCB workmanship/acceptance criteria for high-reliability hardware.
• Comfortable operating with incomplete information and making pragmatic engineering decisions under startup constraints.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package, including health insurance and fuel support.
• Continued support for candidates currently enrolled in a master's or doctoral program in a related field.
• Real end-to-end mission exposure — from hardware bring-up to launch.
• Opportunities for continuous professional growth and skill development.
• A collaborative, fast-paced, and hands-on work environment.
