This role focuses on power systems, mechanical integration and physical test architectures, bridging detailed hardware knowledge with system-level test objectives. The ideal candidate understands how hardware behavior impacts software, operations, and mission performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, configure, and maintain HWIL test architectures that accurately represent operational power and mechanical interfaces
• Integrate power systems including regulated supplies, load banks, protection devices harnesses, and distribution hardware into HWIL environments
• Lead mechanical integration efforts for HWIL setups, including fixture design, mounting strategies, and structural considerations
• Support hardware bring-up, fault injection, and anomaly investigation during HWIL testing
• Collaborate with systems, software, power, and mechanical engineers to ensure test fidelity and coverage
• Execute and refine HWIL test procedures, including power cycling, failure modes, and recovery scenarios
• Monitor and analyze power, thermal, and mechanical performance data during tests
• Maintain configuration control, documentation, and test records for HWIL assets
• Ensure lab safety, electrical safety, and hardware protection standards are upheld

Required Qualifications

• Bachelors degree or 6-8 years of equivalent experience in electrical, mechanical, aerospace, or a closely related field
• Understanding of power systems, power distribution, protection, and measurement
• Experience interpreting electrical schematics and mechanical drawings
• Familiarity with system-level integration and test methodologies
• Ability to troubleshoot complex interactions between hardware, software, and simulated environments
• Strong analytical and documentation skills
• Must possess an active security clearance - Secret (required) Top Secret (preferred and must be willing and able to obtain)

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with spacecraft power systems, avionics, or payload hardware
• Familiarity with HWIL, SIL, flat-sat, or iron-bird testbeds
• Experience with test automation, scripting, or data analysis tools
• Understanding of thermal control systems and environmental test preparation
• Experience supporting verification & validation (V&V) for mission-critical systems

What We Offer

• System-level role at the intersection of hardware, software, and operations
• Opportunity to influence test architecture and mission readiness
• Collaborative engineering environment with high technical standards
• Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits
