Job Title: Software Development Engineer in TestJob Description

Join our Integrated Engineering Solutions Team as a Software Test Engineer to verify power system avionics hardware and power management algorithms/software. You will be involved in all phases of test software development from requirements through implementation, test, and deployment. Your role will focus on developing automated test cases for hardware-in-the-loop testing utilizing power emulation test racks and satellite flight hardware.

Responsibilities

Work with stakeholders, peer teams, and customers to build verification matrices and test cases for satellite power subsystems, batteries, and solar arrays. Collaborate with hardware, software, and test infrastructure teams to integrate, test, and validate new features using synthetic data in simulation environments or hardware-in-the-loop testbed systems. Develop and utilize monitoring and alerting systems to track space and ground infrastructure health and stability. Develop software systems in Python to automate operational workflows, reducing manual intervention and improving system efficiency. Build and maintain robust and well-documented APIs that enable engineers and partners to develop custom models, integrations, and test assertions.

Essential Skills

Proven experience in software test engineering, particularly with test case creation and system testing for hardware/software scenarios. Expertise in Python scripting and Linux. Experience with hardware-in-the-loop testing, especially in aerospace defense. Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering. 4+ years of non-internship professional software development testing experience. 4+ years of experience building test automation frameworks and tools.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Experience with Ruby. System test verification experience in power conversion, power systems, solar, battery, electric vehicles, satellites, or rockets. Understanding of systems engineering principles. Excellent data organization and communication skills. Ability to clearly and persuasively communicate ideas and concerns. Positive attitude and willingness to work hard.

Work Environment

This is a fast-paced, intellectually challenging position. You will verify product and system requirements through verification test campaigns across multiple venues, including hardware-in-the-loop testing and production acceptance testing. The role involves developing test processes and tools, including automation, to scale test campaigns while maintaining high standards of quality and test coverage. You will also perform tests on flight hardware and address issues found during test campaigns.
