• Collaborate closely with avionics, software, and test operations to ensure compatibility with spacecraft systems.
• Integrate EGSE controls into ground software tools and automation frameworks.
• Drive make-vs-buy decisions and support component selection and procurement.
• Provide input into spacecraft electrical architecture to ensure seamless interface with test systems.
• Build and configure EGSE harnessing for everyday AI&T use, as well as specialized thermal‑vacuum and environmental test setups.
• Support powered spacecraft testing by developing and executing test procedures.
• Support HITL campaigns with test procedure development, setup, and execution.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of direct experience supporting spacecraft development, integration, testing, or flight programs.
• Demonstrated ownership of EGSE design and operation for aerospace or spacecraft systems.
• Strong hands‑on experience with powered spacecraft testing, FlatSat, or HITL environments.
• Deep familiarity with spacecraft power systems, avionics, and data/networking protocols.
• Experience with scripting (Python, Bash, Lua, or similar) for test automation.
• Proficiency with engineering tools such as Altium, SolidWorks, Linux, and data‑bus analyzers.
• Ability to work independently in a fast‑moving, iterative hardware development environment.
• BS in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Software Engineering, or related technical field (MS preferred).

Bonus Skills
