You will work closely with a world-class team of engineers and business leaders to verify power system avionics hardware and power management algorithms/software. We are looking for a Software Test Engineer to participate in all phases of test software development from requirements through implementation, test, and deployment. In this role, you will focus on developing automated test cases for hardware in the loop testing utilizing power emulation test racks and satellite flight hardware. You should have deep expertise in the design, creation, management, and use of large sensor datasets, creating test cases, and building/utilizing APIs for software services.

Key job responsibilities

• Work with stakeholder, peer teams and customers to build verification matrices and test cases for satellite power subsystem, battery, and solar array.
• 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/utilize monitoring and alerting systems to track space and ground infrastructure health and stability.
• Develop software systems in Python, Java or another modern language.
• Automate operational workflows to reduce manual intervention and improve system efficiency.
• Build and maintain robust and well-documented APIs that allows other engineers and partners to develop their own custom models, integrations, and test assertions.
