They will be expected to lead test plan execution and improve new processes as well as perform advanced reworks.
Key job responsibilities
- Setup and execute tests and experiments
- Help create test cases and test plans, modifying existing test documentation as needed
- Collect and deliver data; write and/or contribute to test reports
- Perform verification testing of system components
- Provide test feedback to teams to improve quality performance through all phases of data collection
- Work with design and test engineers assisting with prototype builds
- Perform maintenance and repair of test equipment and test fixtures
We are looking for an outstanding engineer who combines superb technical and analytical capabilities with a demonstrated ability to get the right things done quickly and effectively. This person will be expected to work with a team of top-notch engineers and collaborate with multiple other spacecraft design and integration teams. They should be comfortable with a high degree of autonomy and relish the idea of solving problems that haven't been solved at scale before. Along the way, we guarantee that they will learn a lot, have fun and make a positive impact on tens of millions of people.
