Responsibilities

Be the first point of contact between production, test, and design teams for operational support and triage of issues during integrated satellite power systems testing and manufacturing

Work to implement new tests, processes, and tools to aid the testing, storage, and shipping of satellite power systems components and integrated systems

Identify and implement opportunities to improve quality, efficiency, and robustness of all test processes

Develop standard repairs, rework procedures, propose design for manufacturing and test (DFM/DFT) improvements, improved processes and work instructions; and training for new operators and technicians

Develop reporting tools on test KPIs, lead small integrated product teams between customers, stakeholders, and suppliers

Work with Quality, Manufacturing, and Engineering experts to provide root cause failure analyses and implement corrective actions that reduce repeat non-conformances

Although not routine, this role may require standing for long periods of time, climbing up and down ladders, bending, grasping, sitting, pulling, pushing, stooping, and stretching. The role may require lifting up to 25lbs unassisted

The Sr. Test Engineer in this role is primarily responsible for ensuring that the satellite power system is tested comprehensively during satellite full rate production

You will be an expert on the hardware and software that test the satellite power system

You will audit existing tests, author/sign-off on new tests, and disposition non-conformances with root causes that may span across the system’s software and hardware stack-up

You will also own corrective actions, ensuring that mysteries get solved, test coverage gaps are closed, and repeat non-conformances are eliminated

This role also has strategic responsibilities. Specifically, you will feed-forward lessons learned and influence the power systems test infrastructure, test systems, and processes for next generation satellites
