• Degree in a technical field preferred such as engineering, math, or a hard science.

• At least 12+ years of experience in a relevant field, preferably space and satellite manufacturing, systems engineering, or design of electromechanical hardware.

• Demonstrated ability to creatively deliver electromechanical hardware in a resource-constrained environment.

• Experience in unit-level/space vehicle/system integration, assembly, and environmental testing (eg., vibration, thermal vacuum, acoustic, shock, and EMI/EMC)

• Background in integration and testing of avionics/optical payloads, solar, propulsion, ADCS, or other space hardware.

• Proven team leadership skills, with examples of successfully managing and developing a diverse team.

• Personal experience physically manufacturing hardware through various methods (machining, fabrication, soldering, assembly, etc.). Work on personal or extracurricular projects is a plus.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in test hardware and software development

• Software scripting experience in python

• Experience writing test plans, procedures, and work instruction documentation.

• Ability to work effectively in space manufacturing environments.

• Demonstrated skill at driving and questioning design and customer requirements.
