MAIT Electrical and Test Engineer Verified today
About the role
We are developing, producing and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can be refueled in orbit and carries cargo. You will support the electrical design, development, maintenance and documentation of test equipment and automated functional tests required to verify our spacecraft, engineering models and test beds.
Your responsibilities
- Define and assess electrical test equipment and functional test needs for flight hardware, engineering models and test beds
- Translate system and subsystem requirements into traceable functional test procedures, sequences and objective pass/fail criteria
- Design, build, troubleshoot and maintain electrical test equipment and its software, focusing on electrical engineering and test interfaces
- Develop and integrate electrical test equipment, instrumentation, cabling and interfaces for power, communication and measurement activities
- Develop and maintain automated functional test software, scripts and data acquisition for electrical test equipment
- Prepare and maintain test documentation, including schematics, interface definitions, procedures, test results and verification evidence
- Support and perform unit-, subsystem- and system-level electrical and functional tests on engineering and flight hardware
- Analyze test results, troubleshoot anomalies, document non-conformances and support their resolution and retest
- Manufacture and assemble test-equipment components
- Participate in environmental tests and launch campaigns
What we need from you
- Degree in aerospace engineering, electrical engineering or comparable qualification
- Practical experience with electrical/electronic components and systems, ideally in spacecraft AIT or functional verification
- Experience developing functional tests from requirements, including test procedures, acceptance criteria, traceability and test-data review
- Theoretical understanding and practical experience with electrical test equipment and test interfaces: electrical design and integration of test equipment including instrumentation, cabling, connectors, and power and signal interfaces; physical assembly of test equipment; familiarity with network configuration and network protocols (TCP/IP) used by test systems
- Ability to develop software for test equipment and automated functional tests in LabVIEW and/or VeriStand; experience with Python or similar is an asset
- Experience with data acquisition, test automation and troubleshooting on electrical test equipment
- Exposure to Mission Control Software platforms like CCS5, COSMOS or similar; experience with COSMOS is a plus
- Experience with communication and power test equipment is an asset
- Ability to read, understand and apply technical manuals, data reports, electrical schematics and design specifications
- Willingness to work hands-on with flight hardware
- Fluent in written and spoken English
- Willingness to travel worldwide for test and launch campaigns
