  • Specify, procure, and establish FMA test stations for production floor troubleshooting.
  • Communicate non-conformances to quality teams and suppliers to implement corrective actions.
  • Write technical specifications for troubleshooting procedures tailored to satellite manufacturing requirements.
  • Train and mentor engineers and technicians on failure analysis and debug equipment operation.
  • Lead defect triage sessions and track failure trends to drive continuous improvement.
  • Provide manufacturability input to design and antenna engineering teams for new and existing hardware.
  • Stand up new processes, equipment, and assembly lines to support the build ramp.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or equivalent.
  • Experience using Linux and associated tools or languages.
  • Experience with log analysis to parse and interpret system logs and debug output.
  • Experience testing hardware sub-components, research and data analysis skills, and/or PCB layout best practices.
