This is a hands‑on, build‑and‑run role suited to someone who wants to own a test campaign end to end: requirements, tooling, execution, and reporting.

What You’ll Do

• Support bring‑up, functional checkout, and troubleshooting of electrical hardware across multiple vehicle systems
• Develop and execute right‑sized test plans and procedures for electrical component and subsystem integration
• Coordinate with design engineers across disciplines (electrical, GNC, mission systems, flight software) to burn‑down design risks and demonstrate system maturity
• Use standard electrical test instrumentation (multimeter, oscilloscope, logic analyzer, spectrum and network analyzer) to characterize hardware and diagnose failures
• Write and maintain test scripts and tooling (Python or similar) to automate data capture, sequencing, and reporting
• Follow and maintain safety protocols for high voltage and stored energy hazards during integration and test activities
• Maintain configuration control records for test hardware, tooling, and firmware/software versions
• Support Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), ground test, and flight test activities for prototype and production representative systems

Required Qualifications and Attributes

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or related engineering discipline
• 1+ years of experience in integration and test, electrical hardware bring‑up, or embedded systems/firmware work with hands‑on hardware validation
• Demonstrated hands‑on proficiency with multimeters, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers
• Working software/firmware literacy (C, Python, or similar) sufficient to read embedded code, write test scripts, and reason through firmware behavior during hardware debug
• Comfort working across more than one electrical domain (power electronics, controls, communications)
• Fluency in at least one common communication protocol (CAN, Ethernet, or Serial)
• Willingness and demonstrated aptitude to work safely with high voltage systems (400V+) under supervision
• Basic EMI/EMC fluency (conducted/radiated susceptibility or emissions)
• Wiring harness design, sizing, or fabrication experience
• Extremely organized and detail‑oriented, with clear verbal and written communication skills
• A sincere commitment to a positive, inclusive, and collaborative culture
