Electronics Test Engineer

Lead board-level bring-up, functional testing, design verification, and root-cause analysis for spacecraft power electronics.

Job Requirements

• Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering

• Minimum of eight years of hands-on experience testing and troubleshooting complex printed circuit boards

• U.S. citizenship

• Disclosure of any additional citizenship held

• Experience diagnosing electronic hardware failures to the component level

• Direct experience testing power electronics, including DC/DC converters, power sequencing circuits, and protection circuits

• Experience testing switch-mode power supplies, load switches, operational amplifiers, comparators, and mixed-signal circuits

• Proficiency interpreting electrical schematics, board layouts, component datasheets, and design documentation

• Experience using oscilloscopes, source measure units, electronic loads, digital multimeters, power analyzers, and related bench instrumentation

• Experience testing FPGA-, microcontroller-, or microprocessor-based control and telemetry interfaces

• Ability to work onsite in an electronics laboratory with flight hardware

• Ability to travel up to 10%

Preferred Skills

• Experience testing or bringing up spacecraft power control units, power distribution units, battery management systems, battery control and protection modules, or heater-driver systems

• Experience troubleshooting high-reliability or flight-class power electronics

• Knowledge of control-loop stability, power-sequencing transients, component derating, and power-conversion failure modes

• Experience diagnosing analog front-end drift, ADC sampling artifacts, digital timing conflicts, and firmware-interface issues

• Experience validating overvoltage, undervoltage, current-limit, foldback, soft-start, and fault-latching protection circuits

• Experience identifying component tolerance stacking, thermal coupling, layout-induced noise, and other latent design defects

• Knowledge of EMI/EMC design practices, grounding, shielding, and noise mitigation

• Experience with root-cause corrective action processes

• Experience supporting design changes involving schematics, component selection, PCB layouts, or circuit architecture

• Experience developing and refining board-level test procedures

Job Responsibilities

• Perform board-level bring-up, functional testing, and design verification testing on spacecraft power electronics boards

• Validate power rails, heater drivers, analog front ends, digital interfaces, telemetry circuits, and protection circuitry

• Troubleshoot electronic anomalies using schematics, PCB layouts, component data, measurements, and circuit design intent

• Isolate failures involving components, PCB layouts, firmware interfaces, power sequencing, signal integrity, and mixed-signal interactions

• Identify root causes of board-level failures and latent design defects

• Develop, modify, and refine test procedures during hardware bring-up

• Configure and operate laboratory test equipment for electrical characterization and fault isolation

• Evaluate circuit behavior under nominal, transient, fault, and edge-case operating conditions

• Verify protection-circuit thresholds, current limiting, soft-start behavior, fault responses, and recovery sequences

• Document test configurations, results, anomalies, root causes, and recommended corrective actions

• Provide board-level findings and design-change recommendations to electrical design engineers

• Support failure analysis, corrective-action implementation, and hardware re-testing

• Coordinate test activities with software, systems, manufacturing, and design engineering teams

• Assess hardware readiness for production and flight-system integration

• Prepare technical reports, test records, design-review materials, and engineering presentations
