Blue Ring Test Engineer II - Second Shift Verified today

The Role

As a Blue Ring Test Engineer II, you will own a significant scope of electrical integration and test efforts for various space vehicles in the Hardware in the Loop (HIL) laboratory. This includes validating the integration of electrical subsystems into a spacecraft, collaborating on the development of Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE), and participating in launch operations. You will lead elements of electrical test execution during vehicle integration and contribute to completing major test campaigns while supporting risk reduction of vehicle test.

What You Will Do

• Plan, architect, and coordinate the resources vital to execute the testing of spacecraft electrical systems.
• Test spacecraft hardware and integrated spacecraft in the HIL development environment.
• Conduct test design reviews, integration readiness reviews, and test readiness reviews for your events.
• Coordinate with design engineer subject matter experts across each affected system under test to execute risk reduction and verification run for record events as appropriate.
• Identify, communicate, and mitigate cost, schedule, and technical risks.
• Develop test equipment, execute tests, debug integration issues, and compile test reports.
• Collaborate on and test spacecraft script development across product teams.

Minimum Qualifications

• B.S. in Aerospace, Electrical, Mechanical, Physics, Systems Engineering, or related technical subject area.
• 3+ years of relevant, post-graduation experience in specified engineering field(s).
• Proven track record conducting tests on aerospace flight hardware for NASA, Commercial Space, or Department of Defense (DoD) Missile Systems.
• Experience working with flight hardware in a production facility or laboratory.
• Experience developing test infrastructure drawings, configuring test articles, and conducting testing of spacecraft articles with an emphasis on electrical systems.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, engineering industry standards, and technical requirements.
• Ability to perform data analysis and reduction and present technical information in a clear and compelling visual format.
• Strong safety demeanor and experience, including hands-on experience planning and conducting hazardous or critical operations.
• Excellent verbal, written, and graphical communication skills.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, dynamic work environment.
• Ability to earn trust and maintain positive and professional relationships.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Spacecraft/Missile launch preparation testing and/or launch console operation.
• Experience with analytical and scripting tools: MATLAB, LabVIEW, Python, Open C3, Ruby, or C++.
• Experience developing and maintaining test scripts.
• Experience developing test programs for Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) labs or Software Integration Labs (SIL).
• Experience with requirements development/management tools: Windchill, DOORS, DOORS Next Gen, and lifecycle management (PLM).
• Experience conducting thermal, vibration, shock, and/or vacuum testing on flight hardware in accordance with MIL-STD-810, SMC-S-016, and MIL-STD-1540.
• Experience developing Test Equipment Systems for flight avionics or Integrated System tests.
• Experience with System Integration Testing, Electrical Test, Component Testing, Environmental Test, or Propulsion Test of space flight hardware.
