- Bachelor’s degree in software, electrical, aerospace, or controls engineering.
- 3-5+ years of professional experience with Hardware-in-the-Loop and Component Testing.
- Work in a collaborative manner with other engineering disciplines such as GNC, Propulsions, Mechanical, Thermal, Test, Flight Software and lines of business as appropriate.
- Demonstrated ability to work autonomously with little input on requirements or management oversight.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Release EGSE Drawings for test articles.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience with spacecraft-specific HIL/SIL challenges, such as GNC system validation, fault-tolerant design testing, and closed-loop control verification.
- Proven track record of innovation in test automation, simulation fidelity, or integration efficiency.
- Experience working in a fast-paced, startup environment or a similarly dynamic setting.
COMPENSATION
- California Base Salary: $105,000-$140,000
- Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave
