Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related technical field.
• 7+ years of experience electrical test, avionics integration and test, or vehicle electrical systems verification.
• Demonstrated experience leading electrical test campaigns with flight hardware.
• Hands on experience with electrical test equipment including power supplies, oscilloscopes, multi-meters, signal generators, data acquisition systems, etc.
• Hands on experience with RFtest equipment such as signal generators, spectrum analyzers, attenuators, etc.
• Experience in specifying and building out electrical ground support equipment.
• Experience developing and executing test procedures from system-level specification and ICD's.
• Proven ability to lead technical teams and coordinate across disciplines under schedule pressure.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain the avionics electrical test hardware, test plan, and verification cross-reference matrix for a spaceflight avionics component.
• Derive electrical test requirements from system specifications, ICD's, schematics, and safety requirements.
• Specify and design avionics test equipment to meet manufacturing rate.
• Coordinate cross-functionally with Systems Engineers, Production Engineers, and Design Engineers to define interface test requirements.
• Own hardware test procedure development, review, and approval workflows from initial draft through qualification and acceptance.
• Lead bench-level, vehicle level and pre-launch electrical test campaigns including power-on, functional verification, end to end harness continuity and EMI/EMC testing.
• Lead anomaly investigation and resolution for electrical test discrepancies; drive root cause analysis and corrective action through closure.
• Partner with manufacturing and production engineering early in the design cycle to ensure test infrastructures integrates seamlessly with production flow, tooling, and vehicle build sequence.
• Identify and drive test automation, instrumentation, and data acquisition infrastructure to reduce overall cycle time.
• Design electrical test interfaces for producibility, including standardized GSE connectors, modular test racks, etc., to support rate increases without redesign.
• Drive a production mindset into the electrical test program; track unit-to-unit test time, first pass yield, anomaly rate, as indicators of production readiness.
