**Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Board Bringup, Systems Engineering, Automation of Tests, Code Coverage, Software Documentation, Encodings, Communications Protocols, Software Debugging, Electronic Design Automation, Ethernet, Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), Hardware Interface Design, LabVIEW, Microsoft Visio, Software Architecture, Requirements Traceability, Software Engineering, Subsystems, Systems Integration, Test Execution Engine, Data Logging, Teststand, Scripting, Real Time Systems, System-level Testing, Information Technology - **Published:** August 7, 2026 - **Apply:** https://de.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=efc35beb72cac666 ## About the Role * Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field * Proficiency in LabVIEW, including desktop and real-time application development * Hands-on experience with NI VeriStand in real-time test environments * Familiarity with NI TestStand for test automation and execution management * Solid understanding of EGSE/test platform architectures, hardware/software integration, and real-time systems * Experience with spacecraft electrical interfaces: power distribution/simulation, discrete/analog telemetry, telecommand encoding, and standard space communication protocols (e.g., CAN, RS422/485, MIL-STD-1553, SpaceWire, Ethernet) * Working knowledge of ICD development and requirements traceability between EGSE and flight hardware * Ability to influence and shape ICDs and connector/pinout definitions upstream, rather than solely implementing to a fixed interface - working with electrical/systems engineers early in the design cycle to ensure EGSE testability and harness manufacturability * Experience with cable/harness design, including connector selection, pinout/wiring diagrams, shielding and grounding practices, and generation of harness drawings (e.g., in ECAD tools or draw.io/Visio equivalents) * Familiarity with RF test equipment and techniques (signal generators, spectrum/vector signal analyzers, RF switches, calibrated attenuators) for TT&C uplink/downlink stimulation and monitoring * Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills, with a structured and methodical approach, including at hardware bring-up and integration level * Experience working with LabVIEW FPGA is appreciated * Ability to write and integrate Python scripts to extend test workflows or support automation tasks * Familiarity with test/measurement hardware (oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, electronic loads) and their programmatic control (e.g., VISA/SCPI) * Understanding of EMC/ESD-safe practices for handling flight and flight-like hardware * Fluent in English, with excellent written and verbal communication skills * Proven ability to work independently, drive initiatives end-to-end, and deliver in a high-paced environment * Willingness to travel/support on-site AIT or launch site campaigns is a plus ## Description * Design, develop, and maintain Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) sub-system and system level testing * Define and implement EGSE hardware and software architectures tailored to specific test scenarios, AIT campaigns, and HiL environments * Develop LabVIEW-based applications, for both desktop and real-time platforms (e.g., PXI, cRIO), supporting checkout, functional, and pre-launch test operations * Integrate and configure NI VeriStand as part of real-time test setups, including simulation of spacecraft interfaces and umbilical/harness verification * Design and support power, signal conditioning, and telemetry/telecommand interfaces between EGSE and the Unit/Spacecraft Under Test * Support RF test activities for the TT&C chain, including uplink telecommand injection, downlink telemetry reception, and coordination of conducted/radiated test setups with the RF/comms subsystem team * Collaborate with cross-functional teams (AIT, systems, RF, electrical, and FSW) to ensure seamless integration of EGSE hardware and software into functional test platforms * Support test execution, data acquisition, logging, and automated reporting during integration, functional, and environmental test campaigns * Create and maintain technical documentation, including EGSE architecture specifications, ICDs, code documentation, and user/operator guides * Provide support for debugging, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement of EGSE and test platforms, including on-site support during AIT/launch campaigns * Develop a robust and scalable EGSE software framework supporting reuse and modularity across projects * Define test automation workflows * Design and maintain EGSE-to-EUT interface hardware (harnesses, breakout boxes, simulators, load banks) with correct isolation, protection, and safety interlocks * Own cable and harness design for EGSE-to-EUT connections, including pinout definition, connector selection, shielding/grounding strategy, and drawing generation * Coordinate closely with electrical, RF, and systems engineers to ensure requirements traceability, interface compatibility, and test coverage * Drive the continuous evolution of EGSE/HiL infrastructure, with an emphasis on performance, reliability, and maintainability * Ensure all solutions meet space-grade quality, safety, and cleanliness standards (e.g., ESD, contamination control), aligned with project and range safety requirements ## Related Videos -
