YOUR MISSION
We are seeking highly motivated Data and Control Systems Test Engineers to design, build, and operate the instrumentation, data acquisition, and test control systems that enable spacecraft testing. You will work closely with test engineers across all disciplines to define instrumentation requirements, develop data acquisition architectures, design and implement automated test control systems, and deliver high-quality test data for engineering analysis. In this role, you will architect DAQ systems for complex test campaigns, develop test automation and sequencing software, commission and calibrate instrumentation, troubleshoot hardware and software integration issues, and ensure test data integrity and traceability. This position offers an excellent opportunity to build mission-critical test infrastructure in a fast-paced, hands-on environment.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Design and implement data acquisition systems for propulsion, fluids, mechanical, avionics, and environmental test campaigns including sensor selection, signal conditioning, and DAQ hardware architecture.
- Develop automated test control and sequencing software using LabVIEW, Python, MATLAB, or similar platforms to enable safe, repeatable, and efficient test execution.
- Define instrumentation requirements and sensor layouts in collaboration with test engineers to ensure full test objective coverage and requirements traceability.
- Commission, calibrate, and validate instrumentation and DAQ systems prior to test campaigns, including end-to-end checkout and uncertainty analysis.
- Develop real-time monitoring displays, safety interlocks, and automated abort logic for hazardous test operations.
- Perform post-test data processing, analysis, and visualization to support engineering disposition and requirements verification.
