ABOUT THIS FEATURED OPPORTUNITY
We are looking for a Sr. Validation & Verification Engineer to own the design, integration, validation, and continuous improvement of complex test rack systems used to verify satellite hardware. This is an engineering role - not a technician role. This individual will design systems, develop processes, and drive validation from early prototyping through production. The role sits at the intersection of electrical and optical systems, with direct impact on production readiness and system reliability.

THE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU
As a Validation and Verification Engineer, you'll modify and improve new and existing test racks across electrical and optical domains while owning test systems end-to-end-from requirements gathering through integration, validation, and deployment. You'll execute validation and verification of test systems, both manual and automated, using known-good reference units prior to product validation, and develop technical documentation, trade studies, and validation procedures within systems. Your work will include troubleshooting and debugging complex hardware systems at the rack and DUT level, as well as writing, modifying, and debugging scripts for automation, self-tests, and system control. You'll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to mature automation frameworks and improve test system reliability, while supporting prototype development, system bring-up, and validation for production environments.
KEY SUCCESS FACTORS
• 5+ years of experience working with complex test systems and test racks
• Strong experience with electrical test instrumentation (power supplies, waveform generators, logic analyzers, DMMs, power meters, IDACs)
• Experience with optical test systems (fiber optics, optical measurements, attenuators, LMFAs)
• Ability to design, integrate, and troubleshoot full test systems across electrical and optical domains
• Proficiency in Python scripting for test automation, including ability to read, modify, and debug code
• Familiarity with BASH scripting and command-based test interfaces
• Experience with validation, debugging, and root cause analysis at the system level
• Understanding of power budgets, calibration, and test harness design
• Strong communication & documentations skills and ability to work cross-functionally with internal teams and external vendors

NICE TO HAVES
• Background in RF or electrical engineering (amplifier characterization, signal integrity)
• Experience with fiber optic systems and optical communication
• Experience working on satellite, aerospace, or space hardware systems

Our benefits package includes:

• Comprehensive medical benefits
• Competitive pay
• 401(k) retirement plan
• ...and much more!
