Senior Electro-Mechanical Test Engineer

The RoleYou will own the success of piece part, component, and subsystem testing across electromechanical systems. You will lead projects and help stand‑up infrastructure to support the core testing and production infrastructure. In your first 6 months, you will define production test campaigns, design and build test setups, and be hands‑on with flight hardware. In your first year, you will validate designs through prototype testing and lead large multidisciplinary test campaigns, along with ramping production throughput. You will drive best practices by leading large test campaigns and mentoring the growing team. This role will include ownership all of the way from low‑rate research and development through high‑rate production lines.ResponsibilitiesOwn kickoff, design, fabrication, build, activation, data collection, and conclusion/results for both development tests and production testing at rateDesign test hardware, fixturing, and tooling using CAD, schematic tools, electrical analysis, and hand calculationsDemonstrate best practices for activating test assets, operating test equipment, instrumentation, and executing tests in a safe and organized mannerTroubleshoot performance issues and recommend solutions during test campaigns and production buildoutClearly communicate technical data, findings, and recommendations to team members across all levels of the organizationLead improvements to testing standards with company‑wide impact by creating tools, methods, and processesGuide and mentor team members with designs, workload, scheduling, and communicationQualificationsBachelor's degree in mechanical, aerospace, or other relevant engineering discipline5+ years of industry experience with electromechanical test, design, and analysisExperience designing, building, and testing electromechanical assemblies and test fixtures for aerospace or terrestrial applications (satellite mechanical systems, payloads, launch vehicles, propulsion systems, and/or aircraft structures and mechanisms)Experience with CAD, FEA, or Electrical analysis software packagesProficiency with test automation and standard software tools (such as Python, MATLAB, Simulink, C++, R, LabVIEW)Hands‑on fabrication experienceNice to HaveExperience with data acquisition, controls, and dedicated test equipment (examples include motor dynos, material testers, vibration tables, environmental data loggers, motorsports DAQ, light IV towers, hipot machines)Experience with the practical application of GD&T and schematic generationExperience with NX (Unigraphics) and Teamcenter PLMDemonstrated ability to own electromechanical test hardware or systems within an integrated engineering teamDemonstrated understanding of electrical and electromechanical analysis and failure modes of complex systems in space environments and operationsIndependent and self‑motivated mindset, with strong organizational, written, and oral communication skillsCompensation And BenefitsBase salary range for this role is $140,000 - $175,000 + equity in the companySalary will be based on several factors including, but not limited to: knowledge and skills, education, and experience levelComprehensive benefits package including paid time off, medical/dental/vision coverage, life insurance, paid parental leave, and many other perksIf you need a reasonable accommodation as part of your application for employment or interviews with us, please let us know.Export ComplianceAs defined in the ITAR, “U.S. Persons” include U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents (i.e., Green Card holders), and certain protected individuals (e.g., refugees/asylees, American Samoans).
