Electrical Test Systems Engineer - Future Systems

The role

This person will design, develop, and maintain Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) sub-system and system level testing. They will work on hardware and software architectures, LabVIEW applications, and real-time test setups for spacecraft interfaces.

What you will do

• Design, develop, and maintain Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) sub-system and system level testing
• Define and implement EGSE hardware and software architectures
• Develop LabVIEW-based applications for desktop and real-time platforms
• Integrate and configure NI VeriStand for real-time test setups
• Design and support power, signal conditioning, and telemetry/telecommand interfaces
• Support RF test activities for the TT&C chain
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration
• Support test execution, data acquisition, logging, and automated reporting
• Create and maintain technical documentation
• Provide support for debugging, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
• Proficiency in LabVIEW, including desktop and real-time application development
• Hands-on experience with NI VeriStand in real-time test environments
• Familiarity with NI TestStand for test automation and execution management
• Solid understanding of EGSE/test platform architectures, hardware/software integration, and real-time systems
• Experience with spacecraft electrical interfaces: power distribution/simulation, discrete/analog telemetry, telecommand encoding, and standard space communication protocols (e.g., CAN, RS422/485, MIL-
• Working knowledge of ICD development and requirements traceability between EGSE and flight hardware
• Ability to influence and shape ICDs and connector/pinout definitions upstream
• Experience with cable/harness design, including connector selection, pinout/wiring diagrams, shielding and grounding practices, and generation of harness drawings
• Familiarity with RF test equipment and techniques
• Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills
• Ability to write and integrate Python scripts

Nice to have

• Experience working with LabVIEW FPGA is appreciated
• Willingness to travel/support on-site AIT or launch site campaigns is a plus
