Environmental Test Technician

Do you thrive in hands-on environments where precision and problem-solving matter?

Are you excited by the idea of testing cutting-edge satellite hardware to ensure it survives the extreme conditions of launch and space?

Join our team as an Environmental Test Technician and play a critical role in shaping the future of space technology.

Why this role matters

As part of our fast-paced engineering and test operations team, you’ll be on the frontlines of ensuring spacecraft components can withstand vibration, shock, thermal vacuum, and other demanding spaceflight environments. Your work directly contributes to the reliability and success of satellite missions that push the boundaries of what’s possible in orbit.

What you’ll do

• Run real-world space simulations: Set up and operate vibration tables, shock machines, and environmental chambers to put hardware through rigorous launch and in-space conditions.
• Instrument like a pro: Wire up satellite components with accelerometers, load cells, and strain gauges for accurate test data collection.
• Get hands-on with data: Record, analyze, and troubleshoot test results—helping engineers solve complex issues before hardware ever leaves Earth.
• Keep our labs mission-ready: Perform maintenance, calibration, and upgrades on high-tech equipment, ensuring every test is precise and safe.
• Be part of the build: Support assembly, integration, and test (AI&T) activities alongside a multidisciplinary team of engineers and technicians.

What we’re looking for

• 2 years of hands-on experience in vibration, shock, or environmental testing (aerospace preferred).
• Strong mechanical aptitude and troubleshooting skills—you enjoy solving problems with both your head and your hands.
• Familiarity with test standards (MIL-STD-810, NASA GEVS) and proficiency with vibration test controllers.
• Ability to read technical drawings and operate DAQ systems.
• Comfortable lifting up to 35 lbs and performing physical tasks in a lab/test environment.

Bonus points if you have:

• Thermal vacuum (TVAC) or burn-in test experience.
• Skills with oscilloscopes, multimeters, or harness fabrication.
• Forklift/crane experience or soldering skills.

What’s in it for you

• Be at the forefront of space exploration and satellite technology.
• Work with state-of-the-art equipment in a world-class test lab.
• Collaborate with passionate engineers and technicians who value precision and teamwork.
• Competitive compensation, benefits, and opportunities for growth in a rapidly advancing aerospace company.
