## Description

We're looking for an SeniorIntegration & Test Engineer to own the end-to-end validation of our hardware systems. You will be responsible for bringing up, integrating, and testing complex electro-mechanical and avionics systems-ensuring they perform reliably in mission-critical environments.

This role is highly hands-on and cross-functional, working closely with hardware, avionics, and software teams to take systems from prototype through flight readiness.

Responsibilities:

 * Own system-level integration and test of hardware and avionics systems
 * Design, build, and maintain test infrastructure (racks, fixtures, harnessing, and tooling)
 * Develop automated and manual test procedures for board- and system-level validation
 * Lead bring-up and debug of electrical systems, including root cause analysis and failure investigation
 * Execute environmental and functional testing (thermal, vibration, DVE, etc.)
 * Collaborate cross-functionally with hardware, firmware, and software teams to validate performance
 * Drive improvements in test coverage, reliability, and scalability of test systems
 * Support flight qualification and launch readiness activities
 * Support launch campaign operations including payload integration checkouts, pre-flight verification, and real-time anomaly resolution.
