Then you've come to the right place! E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems. We're intentional, we're unapologetically curious and we're 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life. We are looking for Test Engineers to support the full test lifecycle for satellite avionics hardware. You will design test interface boards (TIBs), embed design-for-test (DFT) practices into the board design process, and plan and execute board-level testing for engineering model (EM) and qualification model (QM) builds. This role spans all 19 avionics boards across 6 subsystems and is critical to ensuring hardware quality and flight readiness., * Design test interface boards (TIBs) for board-level functional, environmental, and performance verification. * Embed design-for-test (DFT) requirements into the board design process from schematic through layout. * Develop and execute test plans and procedures for EM and QM board-level testing. * Develop DVP&R (Design Verification Plan & Report) documentation for each board. * Perform root-cause analysis and structured debugging when test failures occur. * Build and maintain test automation frameworks for regression and production testing. * Design test PCBs for fixtures, harnessing, and evaluation hardware. * Operate RF and electronic test equipment including VNAs, spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers. * Perform data analysis and statistical interpretation of test results. * Collaborate with design engineers to draft test standards and improve testability of designs. * Support JTAG programming, boundary scan, and debug access for board bring-up., * Altium Designer (test board design) * Python or LabVIEW (test automation) * JTAG tools and boundary-scan software * Standard electronic test equipment (oscilloscopes, analyzers, VNAs) ## Related Videos - [Data Science in Retail](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/586-data-science-in-retail) - [What I learned as a developer from accidents in space](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/642-what-i-learned-as-a-developer-from-accidents-in-space) - [Data Science on Software Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/162-data-science-on-software-data) - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [Crew Management System for Airlines: Plan duties for pilots & flight attendants worldwide](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1444-crew-management-system-for-airlines-plan-duties-for-pilots-flight-attendants-worldwide) - [The Innovation Formula: Fast Prototyping, Data Analysis, and Real User Insights](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1421-the-innovation-formula-fast-prototyping-data-analysis-and-real-user-insights) ## Related Articles - [Should senior developers refuse interview coding challenges?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/29-should-senior-developers-refuse-interview-coding-challenges) - [What is a Test Plan: Guide to Test Planning](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/191-what-is-a-test-plan-guide-to-test-planning) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [The 8 Best Code Testing Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/402-the-8-best-code-testing-tools) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs)
