Blue Ring Testbed Infrastructure Engineer II
About The Position
The role is part of the In-Space Systems business unit, which is focused on addressing two of the most compelling challenges in spaceflight today: space infrastructure and increasing mobility on-orbit. As part of a hardworking team of engineers, you'll own and drive development of a groundbreaking simulation testbed for our Blue Ring spacecraft program. Blue Ring is the "Swiss Army Knife of satellites" and can support a variety of missions in Earth orbit domains out to the cislunar region - including transporting and hosting payloads, refueling satellites, as well as performing data relay, storage and compute via our in-space edge compute capability. In this role you'll build and manage the automated testing pipelines and virtual execution environments for the software-in-the-loop (SWIL) simulation and hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) testbed. You'll collaborate both with our internal integration and test team and external customers to support the smooth operation of testbeds that precisely reflect spacecraft operations.
