The successful candidate will participate in AI&T activities throughout the full System Development Life Cycle (SDLC), including design, integration, system testing, verification, and support of space hardware development. This role involves close collaboration with multi-disciplinary engineering teams to ensure hardware and software components are successfully integrated and qualified for spaceflight.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support the development and execution of AI&T plans and procedures.
• Assist with integration and testing of space systems, including setup, troubleshooting, and data collection.
• Participate in technical reviews and provide input to ensure system requirements are met (DCR, SFR, PDR, CDR, TRR, etc.).
• Collaborate with design, systems, and test engineers to verify integrated performance of spaceflight hardware.
• Support documentation of test activities including test plans, procedures, reports, and anomaly resolutions.
• Help ensure compliance with configuration management, quality standards (e.g., AS9100), and safety protocols.
• Contribute to lab setup and operation, including test equipment selection and maintenance.
• Support risk identification and assist in root-cause analysis and corrective actions.
• Work under the guidance of senior engineers and contribute to process improvement efforts.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace, Systems Engineering, or a related field.
• 4 years of relevant engineering experience.
• Hands-on experience with hardware integration and software-hardware interfacing.
• Proficiency in technical writing and documentation.
• Strong problem-solving and teamwork skills.
• U.S. citizenship with the ability to obtain a security clearance.

Preferred Experience

• Master's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace, Systems Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience supporting AI&T activities for spaceflight hardware.
• Exposure to Agile development, Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), and Digital Engineering.
• Familiarity with LabView, sensors (e.g., thermocouples, strain gauges), instrumentation, and test automation tools.
• Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA, NX).
• Knowledge of AS9100 quality processes.
• Experience working in a cleanroom or flight hardware lab environment.
• Familiarity with space system design and test processes, from prototyping to flight qualification to include environmental testing (thermal, vibration, vacuum).
