About the role

  • Design and develop state-of-the-art Special Test Equipment (STE) for power and digital, RF and mixed signal systems used in space-based applications
  • Define STE architecture and perform hands-on development
  • Conduct detailed circuit design for power, digital, RF, and mixed-signal subsystems (power supplies, microcontrollers, FPGAs, logic, memory, filters, amplifiers, mixers)
  • Perform detailed modeling and analysis using SPICE, MATLAB/Simulink, and ADS to predict behavior and performance
  • Design and gather data for technical performance measures; test power supplies, digital logic, and RF circuit performance across conditions and frequencies
  • Use C#, Python, LabVIEW, TestStand, oscilloscopes, network analyzers, and vector signal analyzers to design automated tests for spacecraft modules, slices, and units
  • Document designs, test procedures, and analysis results; track using version control systems like SVN
  • Provide technical support during production and testing of space-qualified electronics; troubleshoot anomalies during integration, testing, delivery, and operation
  • Make recommendations for procurement of test equipment and lead STE design reviews to ensure adherence to development processes
  • Support preparation of proposals and bids for new test system projects and mentor/guide team members
  • Contribute to projects including Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS), X-37B, CST-100 Starliner, and other space-based missions

Requirements

  • 5+ years of related work experience
  • Experience in digital, power, or RF Test Systems
  • Bachelor of Science degree from an accredited course of study in engineering, engineering technology (including manufacturing engineering technology), chemistry, physics, mathematics, data science, or computer science
  • Ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance (U.S. Citizenship required); interim and/or final U.S. Top Secret/SCI Clearance post-start required
  • Must meet export control compliance as a “U.S. Person” per 22 C.F.R. §120.15 (U.S. Citizen, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee)
  • Employer will not sponsor applicants for employment visa status
  • Software coding experience using LabView, Test Stand, C/C#, Python, FPGA Verilog/VHDL, or MATLAB Signal/MATLAB Simulink (preferred)
  • Experience using Electrical Design Automation (EDA) Tools (OrCAD, Mentor Graphics, Altium, PSpice) for schematic capture, PCB design/layout, and circuit simulation (preferred)
  • Knowledge and experience in control, analog, digital, or power supply circuit design
  • Experience designing RF/Mixed Signal circuits and systems; familiarity with S-parameters and RF measurements (intermodulation distortion, phase noise, spurious measurements)
  • Proficiency with RF/Mixed Signal simulation software (e.g., Keysight ADS) and Power/Digital simulation tools (PSpice, MATLAB/Simulink)
  • Experience with test equipment: oscilloscopes, network analyzers, vector signal analyzers, digital multimeters, power analyzers, logic analyzers
  • Experience in power and thermal analysis
  • Familiarity with power systems and digital communication protocols used in space applications
  • Experience designing automated tests using C#, Python, LabVIEW, TestStand
  • Experience documenting designs, test procedures, and using version control systems such as SVN
  • Ability to troubleshoot anomalies during integration, testing, delivery, and system usage
  • Preferred: FPGA Verilog/VHDL, PCB design/layout, and hands-on STE development experience
  • Typical: Bachelor and typically 9+ years' related work experience or equivalent combination of education and experience (posting notes)
