Orion Test and Verification Engineer

Stellar Solutions•Aurora, CO

About The Position

Stellar Solutions is seeking an Electrical Test and Verification (ET&V) Engineer to support NASA’s Orion Program. The ET&V team performs testing to meet verification and mission validation objectives in the avionics discipline, coordinating and executing tests across system and subsystem levels in a high-fidelity mission laboratory. The engineer will support test, integration, and verification activities across multiple Artemis missions, working with Certified Principal Engineers and teams across engineering, planning, and test operations. Testing begins in simulation environments and progresses to hardware-in-the-loop laboratories. The position also involves developing expertise in technical areas such as RF communications, Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC), Command and Data Handling (C&DH), avionics integration, and electrical and mechanical subsystems. The role supports government customers as part of Stellar Solutions’ Civil team. The typical annual salary range is USD $118,000–$143,000, plus a company-funded profit-sharing retirement savings plan. The role is also eligible for a discretionary annual performance bonus and a full benefits package.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field.
10+ years of experience, or appropriate level of experience, in spacecraft, launch vehicle, or complex system integration and test environments.
Experience writing and executing test procedures or scripts in support of system verification.
Experience working in simulation and/or hardware-in-the-loop environments.
Strong understanding of systems engineering principles and requirement verification.
Experience with Microsoft Office tools, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate technical requirements into executable procedures, communicate schedule impacts to planners, and elevate execution risks and concerns to test conductors and leadership.
Ability to work in a fast-paced, highly coordinated, multidisciplinary engineering environment.
U.S. citizenship required.
