Electrical Test Engineer, EGSE & Instrumentation

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place! E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services.

We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.

We are looking for a hands-on Electrical Test Engineer to own electrical verification and electrical ground support equipment (EGSE) for E-Space’s integrated antenna assembly. You will build and troubleshoot electrical test setups, solder test hardware, write test software (Labview, Python), configure and run data acquisition (DAQ) systems, and operate spacecraft and instrument surrogates for verification testing.

This is an electrical engineering role with substantial bench and test facility work. You will own the electrical test chain from the hardware connection through acquisition, automation, and recorded evidence. During environmental campaigns, you will work alongside the engineer responsible for mechanical testing, providing electrical test support and functional verification. On-site in Arlington, Texas.

Hands-on bench work and test facility presence are required.

Some travel between sites expected. ## What you will do - Plan and execute the antenna assembly’s electrical verification campaign, from requirements and test procedures through anomaly investigation and verification closure. - Set up, check out, operate, and troubleshoot EGSE, including spacecraft and instrument surrogates used to exercise the antenna assembly’s electrical interfaces. - Build, modify, and repair electrical test hardware, including hands-on soldering and test connections, following applicable workmanship and hardware handling procedures. - Write, maintain, and debug scripts for instrument control, test sequencing, data acquisition, and data reduction. - Configure and operate DAQ systems.

Check the measurement chain and recorded data before relying on them to make a hardware decision. - Develop repeatable test procedures and record the hardware, EGSE, software, and acquisition configuration needed to interpret and reproduce a result. - Monitor electrical behavior during test execution, respond to anomalies in accordance with procedures, and distinguish test-equipment or script problems from test-article problems. - Support electrical functional checks and monitoring associated with environmental test campaigns, coordinating with the mechanical test engineer and facility team. - Document results, limitations, and anomaly dispositions; maintain electrical verification closure records in the verification matrix. ## Required qualifications - BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical electrical engineering experience. - Hands-on experience testing and troubleshooting electrical hardware, with personal responsibility for bench setup, execution, and interpretation of results. - Ability to read electrical schematics and connection documentation, make and inspect soldered connections, and troubleshoot electrical test hardware. - Ability to write and debug LabVIEW or Python scripts that interact with real instruments or DAQ hardware.

Proficiency in at least one is required. - Experience configuring and running a DAQ system and checking that the full measurement chain produces credible data. - Experience operating EGSE or comparable electrical test equipment used to exercise and verify hardware interfaces. - Ability to write clear procedures, investigate anomalies methodically, and document the evidence supporting a test conclusion. ## Preferred qualifications - Spacecraft or instrument EGSE experience, including operation or development of spacecraft and instrument surrogates. - Electrical verification of flight or other high-reliability hardware. - Electrical functional testing and instrumentation during thermal-vacuum, vibration, or other environmental campaigns. - Experience with LabVIEW, Python, or other data acquisition software, and with maintaining test automation that other engineers or technicians can run. - Experience integrating instrumentation and DAQ into larger assembly-level test setups. ## Additional Requirements This is a fast-paced, high-impact environment - flexibility to occasionally work extended hours or weekends during critical periods is expected.

This is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Arlington, TX office. The total compensation packaged will be determined by various factors such as your relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.

We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used - so we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that’s your experience – then we’ll be immediately wow-ed.

E-Space is not currently able to provide employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work authorization for the location of this role. ## Why E-Space is right for you As a member of our team, you will play a crucial role in driving our success.

Our team members have a strong sense of dedication and responsibility; this includes a strong commitment to our mission to create an entirely new suite of global capabilities to improve lives, business efficiencies and build a smarter planet. This means that there will be times when extra hours, including nights and weekends, may be needed to meet critical deadlines and mission goals.

In return, we offer a dynamic work environment with opportunities for professional growth and development and the chance to make a meaningful impact in a high-growth industry. We want you to make the most of your journey at E-Space. That’s why we support and invest in the physical, emotional and financial well-being of our team members and their families.

Some of what you can expect when working at E-Space: - An opportunity to really make a difference - Sustainability at our core - Fair and honest workplace - Innovative thinking is encouraged - Competitive salaries - Continuous learning and development - Health and wellness care options - Financial solutions for the future - Optional legal services (US only) - Paid holidays - Paid time off
