TL;DR · Hardware Development Engineer II, Development Integration and Test

The Hardware Development Engineer II, Development Integration and Test joins the test engineering team to ensure satellite flight hardware is flight-ready. This role involves designing and implementing test infrastructure for mechanical satellite assemblies, validating designs from early prototypes through production. Key responsibilities include producing design schematics, specifications, and test plans to validate mechanical systems against functional, reliability, and cost targets. The engineer will build and validate prototypes of test fixtures, perform system-level thermal, dynamic, and electrical evaluations, and develop scripts or software tools to automate workflows. Required skills include mechanical engineering experience, prototyping, and implementation. Preferred technical competencies include SolidWorks simulation, Ansys Finite Element analysis, and test setup automation using MATLAB, Python, or Pearl. The work focuses on solving hardware reliability and safety requirements for low Earth orbit satellite networks.

What you'll do

  • Design and develop test infrastructure for satellite flight hardware including schematics, specifications, and test plans.
  • Build and validate prototypes of test fixtures and equipment while making make-versus-buy manufacturing decisions.
  • Perform system-level thermal, dynamic, and electrical analyses to ensure test setups represent flight conditions.
  • Develop scripts, firmware, or software tools to automate test workflows and procedures.
  • Troubleshoot sensor configurations and hardware issues on vibration test stands and other lab equipment.
  • Document test findings and propose technical improvements to hardware validation processes.
  • Mentor newer engineers on test system implementation and operational procedures.

What we're looking for

  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, refugee, or granted asylum.
  • Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent.
  • 4+ years of working in mechanical engineering or equivalent experience.
  • Experience with prototyping and implementation.
  • Knowledge of SolidWorks simulation or Ansys Finite Element analysis tools (preferred).
  • Experience in the design of complex mechanical products and equipment at volume (preferred).
  • Experience in test setup automation using MATLAB, Python, or Pearl (preferred).
  • Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates.
