What are the responsibilities and job description for the Staff Electrical Engineer – Test Systems position at E-Space?
Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!
E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.
We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.
The Staff Test Electrical Engineer of Test Systems will participate in all phases of testing avionics flight and ground hardware for E-Space satellites. You will work collaboratively with engineers of various disciplines to develop the automated test framework for satellite avionics and systems including test methods, custom PCBAs, harnesses, and other hardware, and ultimately support the rigorous flight-like testing of satellite hardware.
The ideal candidate has 5 years of experience in custom electronics design and testing.
This position will report to the Test Engineering Lead and will work closely with the Test, Electrical, and Systems Engineering teams. The successful candidate will be based in our Saratoga, CA office.
What you’ll be doing:
We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that’s your experience – then we’ll be immediately wow-ed.
E-Space is not currently able to provide employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work authorization for the location of this role.
Why E-Space is right for you:
As a member of our team, you will play a crucial role in driving our success. Our team members have a strong sense of dedication and responsibility; this includes a strong commitment to our mission to create an entirely new suite of global capabilities to improve lives, business efficiencies and build a smarter planet. This means that there will be times when extra hours, including nights and weekends, may be needed to meet critical deadlines and mission goals. In return, we offer a dynamic work environment with opportunities for professional growth and development and the chance to make a meaningful impact in a high-growth industry.
We want you to make the most of your journey at E-Space. That’s why we support and invest in the physical, emotional and financial well-being of our team members and their families. Some of what you can expect when working at E-Space:
