Summary and responsibilities
Role overview
Summary
The MAIT Electrical and Test Engineer will support the electrical design, development, maintenance, and documentation of test equipment and automated functional tests for spacecraft, engineering models, and test beds. This role involves defining test needs, designing and troubleshooting electrical test equipment, developing automated functional test software, and analyzing test results to ensure mission success.
Here at The Exploration Company, we are building spacecrafts for humanity.
We are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refueled in orbit, and which carries cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run.
We want you as a talented MAIT Electrical and Test Engineer to help us in our mission by supporting the electrical design, development, maintenance and documentation of test equipment and automated functional tests required to verify our spacecraft, engineering models and test beds, to ensure that our mission will succeed and our system will work in space!
Key Responsibilities
Define and assess electrical test equipment and functional test needs for flight hardware as well as engineering models and test beds
Translate system and subsystem requirements into traceable functional test procedures, sequences and objective pass/fail criteria
Design, build, troubleshoot and maintain electrical test equipment and its software, with a focus on electrical engineering and test interfaces
Develop and integrate electrical test equipment, instrumentation, cabling and interfaces for power, communication and measurement activities
Develop and maintain automated functional test software, scripts and data acquisition for electrical test equipment
Prepare and maintain test documentation, including schematics, interface definitions, procedures, test results and verification evidence
Support and perform unit-, subsystem- and system-level electrical and functional tests on engineering and flight hardware
Analyze test results, troubleshoot anomalies, document non-conformances and support their resolution and retest
Manufacture and assemble test-equipment components
Participate in environmental tests and launch campaigns.
What we would love to see from you
Degree in aerospace engineering, electrical engineering or comparable qualification
Practical experience with electrical/electronic components and systems, ideally in spacecraft AIT or functional verification
Experience developing functional tests from requirements, including test procedures, acceptance criteria, traceability and test-data review
Theoretical understanding as well as practical experience with electrical test equipment and test interfaces:
Electrical design and integration of test equipment, including instrumentation, cabling, connectors, and power and signal interfaces
Physical assembly of test equipment (building racks, routing cables, etc.)
Familiarity with network configuration and network protocols (TCP/IP) used by test systems
Ability to develop software for test equipment and automated functional tests in LabVIEW and/or VeriStand; experience with Python or similar is an asset
Experience with data acquisition, test automation and troubleshooting on electrical test equipment
Exposure to Mission Control Software platforms like CCS5, COSMOS or similar; experience with COSMOS is a plus
Experience with communication and power test equipment is an asset
Ability to read, understand and apply technical manuals, data reports, electrical schematics and design specifications
Willingness to work hands-on with flight hardware
Joy in embracing technical problems and the process of solving them
Sense of responsibility and a clean and organized way of working
Willingness to travel worldwide for test and launch campaigns.
