Integration & Test Technician

We are seeking an Integration & Test Technician who is excited to apply their experience assembling and testing space flight hardware, running experiments, and supporting general lab activities at a dynamic and growing aerospace company.

This is an opportunity to contribute directly to next-generation spaceflight missions in a fast-paced, collaborative, and innovative environment.

Support the assembly, integration, and test of space flight hardware & software systems.

Assist in research and development of assembly, integration, and test processes, procedures, and testbeds.

Maintain, organize, and calibrate optical cleanroom facilities, vacuum chambers, ESD workstations, specialized tooling, and ground support equipment (GSE).

Support thermal vacuum (TVAC), vibration, functional, and optical characterization testing of spaceflight camera sensors.

Support engineers with creation and execution of experiments and trade studies related to cameras, lenses, processors, test apparatus, simulation software, and other systems.

Perform soldering, crimping, and harness fabrication in accordance with spaceflight standards.

Closely follow safety and lab processes (e.g., ESD safe, cleanroom), and work with the team to improve processes.

Build, update, and follow detailed assembly and test procedures (As-Built documentation, non-conformance reports (NCRs), redlines, and traveler logs).

Potential to provide guidance and technical oversight to junior technicians.

Able to work in-person at our lab in Annapolis, MD. Must be authorized to work in the USA without sponsorship.

4+ years of hands-on experience as an I&T technician working directly with spaceflight hardware.

Expertise using precision measuring tools (micrometers, dial indicators, torque wrenches, height gauges) and electrical test gear (multimeters, oscilloscopes, ESD meters).

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to troubleshoot solutions for complex hardware and software challenges.

Ability to work independently and collaboratively within multidisciplinary technical teams.

Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Attention to detail and a high level of precision is required, particularly in executing and annotating predefined assembly and test procedures.

Hands-on experience with handling space-grade adhesives, epoxies (e.g., Stycast, Arathane, Scotchweld), torque specs, and staking practices.

Experience working in ISO Class 5/7 cleanrooms and strict ESD-protected areas.

Direct experience assembling delicate electro-optical payloads, image sensors, or optical elements.

Active or prior certifications in industry spaceflight manufacturing standards:

NASA-STD-8739 or IPC-J-STD-001FS (Space Addendum Soldering)

NASA-STD-8739.4 or IPC-WHMA-A-620 (Crimping, Cable, & Harnessing)

Programming experience using languages such as Python and C/C++.

Experience with computer vision techniques and equipment.

Experience working in ESD safe and cleanroom environments.

Previous experience supporting spaceflight integration and test.

Experience supporting TVAC and/or vibration testing for space hardware.

Experience performing optical measurements, including Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) testing.

Experience performing radiometric and photometric measurements (e.g., flat-field, blemish, SNR, or uniformity analysis).

Experience working with optical stimulators, collimators, or other projection/relay systems.

Experience executing geometric camera calibration using standard tools (checkerboard or ChAruco targets and OpenCV-based workflows).

Experience identifying, tracking, and mitigating Foreign Object Debris (FOD) and contamination on optical components.

Basic understanding of camera controls and sensor behavior (exposure, gain, frame rate, pixel saturation, and noise considerations).
