Senior Test Engineer
Moog•Gilbert, AZ
•Hybrid
About The Position
Join a team that designs the Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) and Test Scripts that validate our spacecraft avionics before they fly. You’ll own test solutions end‑to‑end—hardware, software, documentation, and testing —and see your work directly contribute to mission readiness and customer acceptance. If you bring strong C, Python, LabVIEW and hands‑on test hardware design experience, we’ll train you on Moog’s niche tools and power architectures (e.g., Intercept Mozaix, EPS). You do not need every preferred skill to apply; strong candidates typically meet ~80% and show willingness to learn.
Requirements
- 7+ years in aerospace/defense test engineering with hands‑on ownership of EGSE hardware + software + documentation.
- Proficiency in the following coding languages: Python – test automation and data handling.
- Proficiency in the following coding languages: C – embedded systems.
- Proficiency in the following coding languages: LabVIEW - building production‑grade instrument control and operator UIs.
- Practical experience selecting/integrating COTS instruments (PSUs, loads, DAQ, scopes) and designing custom test fixtures/cable assemblies.
- Ability to write clear ATPs/I&T plans and maintain accurate schematics/parts lists.
- Strong debugging skills across analog/digital interfaces; comfortable reading schematics and interpreting telemetry.
- U.S. person (due to export‑controlled work).
- While the legacy posting listed 7–10 years, we welcome 5+ years if you demonstrate full EGSE lifecycle ownership and strong cross‑disciplinary collaboration.
Nice To Haves
- Familiarity with VxWorks on embedded SBCs.
- Familiarity with pytest
- Experience with cPCI SBCs and C&DH architectures.
- Exposure to EPS backplanes (power switching, solar array/battery management).
- VHDL/FPGA interface testing.
- Cable/harness design experience and knowledge of best practices (EMI/EMC, shielding/grounding).
- Experience with Intercept Mozaix (or similar) for schematic/BOM/document control.
- Environmental test support (thermal‑vac, vibe, EMI/EMC).
Responsibilities
- Design & build EGSE for spacecraft avionics: select COTS instruments, design custom test boxes/panels, and develop cabling/harnesses.
- Develop test software: author automation scripts in Python; integrate with embedded test code (VxWorks/C); build LabVIEW UIs/VIs for instrument control and telemetry.
- Integrate with flight‑like units: interface with embedded single board computers (SBCs) and custom analog/digital I/O for Command & Data Handling (C&DH); support EPS/power switching use cases.
- Author formal test documentation: Document test architecture and usage, Document test reconfigurability for reuse across multiple programs, Environmental Test Plans, Acceptance Test Procedures (ATPs), and configuration‑controlled schematics/BOMs.
- Execute & improve: run test campaigns (functional, environmental), troubleshoot anomalies, drive root cause/corrective actions, and mentor junior engineers.
- Collaborate cross‑functionally: partner with systems, firmware, manufacturing test, and program management to meet schedule, cost, and technical goals.
