Staff Electrical Engineer – Test Systems

Saratoga, CAOn-siteFull-time

AI Summary

Staff Electrical Engineer responsible for designing and testing automated test systems for satellite avionics, including PCBA development, test hardware, and flight-like validation.

About this role

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? 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.

The Staff Test Electrical Engineer of Test Systems will participate in all phases of testing avionics flight and ground hardware for E-Space satellites. You will work collaboratively with engineers of various disciplines to develop the automated test framework for satellite avionics and systems including test methods, custom PCBAs, harnesses, and other hardware, and ultimately support the rigorous flight-like testing of satellite hardware.
The ideal candidate has 5+ years of experience in custom electronics design and testing.
This position will report to the Test Engineering Lead and will work closely with the Test, Electrical, and Systems Engineering teams. The successful candidate will be based in our Saratoga, CA office.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Own the custom functional test equipment design from clean sheet to flight hardware production test.
  • Develop functional test PCBA and other hardware requirements, architectures, and con-ops in collaboration with other engineering disciplines.
  • Schematic capture and PCB layout of power, digital, and analog instrumentation circuit PCBAs using Altium Designer.
  • Develop test strategies and plans in collaboration with flight HW designers and other engineering disciplines.
  • PCBA and other HW manufacturing, design validation, and integration of automated test systems.
  • Circuit simulation and analysis in SPICE, Excel, etc.
  • Support SW engineers in the development of automated test control software.
  • Execute flight hardware qualification and production acceptance testing including ambient functional and environmental tests.
  • Support DUT anomaly resolution.
  • Contribute to the development of engineering and production best practices to support most efficient manufacturing.

    • What you bring to this role:

  • Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or similar.
  • 10+ years of experience in electronics hardware development and testing including schematic capture, PCB layout, hardware characterization testing, and automated test implementation.
  • Proficiency with electrical test equipment including power supplies, loads, oscilloscopes, thermal chambers, etc.
  • Strong documentation skills for test procedures, results, analysis, etc.
  • Demonstrated success working in a dynamic environment.

    • Bonus points for the following:

  • Programming skills in Python, Tcl, and C/C++.
  • Proficiency with Altium Designer for schematic capture and PCB layout.
  • Experience with mechanical design in Solidworks.
  • Experience with radiation effects testing.
