  • Experience with spacecraft, aerospace, or other complex electromechanical systems integration and test.
  • Experience developing, configuring, and operating ground support equipment and test systems.
  • Experience reading and interpreting electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, mechanical drawings, and system interface documentation.
  • Experience developing and executing engineering test procedures.
  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills across hardware and software interfaces.
  • Ability to work hands-on with engineering hardware and test equipment.
  • Strong technical documentation and communication skills.
  • Ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary engineering and test environment.

Nice To Haves

  • Experience with spacecraft electrical ground support equipment (EGSE).
