Role
Who you are
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline
- 4+ years of experience in hardware test engineering for aerospace, defense, or high-reliability electronics
- Experience designing test fixtures and test interface boards
- Proficiency with electronic test equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, VNAs)
- Strong skills in test automation scripting (Python, LabVIEW, or equivalent)
- Experience with root-cause analysis and structured debugging methodologies
- Hands-on lab experience with board bring-up, rework, and instrumentation
Desirable
- Experience testing satellite or spacecraft avionics hardware through EM/QM/FM qualification cycles
- Background in environmental testing (thermal cycling, vibration, shock)
- Experience with JTAG-based test and debug
- Familiarity with DFT methodologies and testability analysis during design phase
- Knowledge of IPC workmanship standards and ESD-safe handling practices
- Experience with data acquisition systems and automated test equipment (ATE)
What the job involves
- We are looking for Test Engineers to support the full test lifecycle for satellite avionics hardware. You will design test interface boards (TIBs), embed design-for-test (DFT) practices into the board design process, and plan and execute board-level testing for engineering model (EM) and qualification model (QM) builds
- This role spans all 19 avionics boards across 6 subsystems and is critical to ensuring hardware quality and flight readiness
- Design test interface boards (TIBs) for board-level functional, environmental, and performance verification
- Embed design-for-test (DFT) requirements into the board design process from schematic through layout
- Develop and execute test plans and procedures for EM and QM board-level testing
- Develop DVP&R (Design Verification Plan & Report) documentation for each board
- Perform root-cause analysis and structured debugging when test failures occur
- Build and maintain test automation frameworks for regression and production testing
- Design test PCBs for fixtures, harnessing, and evaluation hardware
- Operate RF and electronic test equipment including VNAs, spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers
- Perform data analysis and statistical interpretation of test results
- Collaborate with design engineers to draft test standards and improve testability of designs
- Support JTAG programming, boundary scan, and debug access for board bring-up
- Tools & Technologies:
- Altium Designer (test board design)
- Python or LabVIEW (test automation)
- JTAG tools and boundary-scan software
- Standard electronic test equipment (oscilloscopes, analyzers, VNAs)
Our take
E-Space is a space technology company working to build a global satellite communications network designed to connect the entire planet.It low Earth orbit system aims to link billions of devices and deliver real-time data from anywhere on Earth. It's a bold mission, but one grounded in a practical approach that combines space-based connectivity with AI and an emphasis on sustainable, responsible satellite design.
The space connectivity market is changing quickly as demand grows for always-on, global communications, So, industries such as logistics, government, defense and environmental monitoring are increasingly relying on real-time data, pushing satellite providers to deliver broader coverage, lower latency and more flexible systems. And new approaches like E-Space's reflect just how space technology is moving beyond niche uses and becoming a core part of everyday digital infrastructure.
The company has already moved beyond theory into execution too, successfully completing its Beta-1 and Beta-2 satellite launches as it tests and validates its technology in orbit. Now, the company is exploring mass production of its satellites, a key step toward scaling a truly global network.
