Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Own spacecraft functional and system-level testing, verification tracking, test procedures, and campaign execution from subsystem integration through flight readiness. The role includes managing verification matrices, test reviews, anomaly investigations, automated test scripts, telemetry and telecommand databases, electrical GSE, environmental testing, launch-site checkout, and requirements evidence closure. Candidates should have hands-on satellite AIT experience, subsystem knowledge, laboratory and GSE skills, and familiarity with SmallSat development, spacecraft interfaces, and verification standards.

Plan and execute electric propulsion test campaigns for RF gridded ion thrusters. Design and maintain test rigs, vacuum facilities, electronics, gas systems, and diagnostics; operate propulsion test equipment; collect and analyze performance data; identify failures; support iterative design improvements; and maintain traceable verification and qualification documentation. Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, controls, and propulsion engineers to integrate and test flight-ready hardware.

Own the design, construction, testing, and verification of RF gridded ion thrusters for very-low-Earth-orbit satellites. Responsibilities include performance calculations, test-rig and equipment development, vacuum-facility operation, propulsion testing, results analysis, iterative design improvements, and traceable qualification documentation. The role requires hands-on expertise in RF plasma systems, ion optics, vacuum equipment, high-voltage supplies, diagnostics, and propulsion test campaigns.
