We are seeking an experienced Senior Software Engineer (software testing software) to join the satellite bus systems team. 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.
In this role, you will focus on designing and building services that help the team develop and execute automated test cases for hardware in the loop testing utilizing power emulation test racks and satellite flight hardware. You will participate in all phases of test software development from requirements through implementation, test, and deployment.
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
- Design, build, and maintain services that enable the team to develop and execute automated test cases for power hardware-in-the-loop testing
- 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.
- Work with stakeholder, peer teams and customers to build verification matrices and test cases for satellite power subsystem, battery, and solar array.
- 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.
A day in the life
This is a fast-paced, intellectually challenging position. You will be focused on verifying product and system requirements through verification test campaigns across multiple venues including hardware in the loop testing and production acceptance testing. You will develop test processes and tools including automation which will scale test campaigns while holding a high bar for quality and test coverage. You will perform tests on flight hardware and root cause issues found in test campaigns.
About the team
You will be a member of the Satellite Power Systems Test team working within the wider Electrical Engineering organization. This highly collaborative group of hardware and software engineers has a diverse range of backgrounds and knowledge. We are looking for someone to own test automation, infrastructure, and architecture for our complex satellite systems test platform. This platform helps validate hardware and software interfaces and acts as a main regression test venue. We tackle problems that span a variety of domains and everyone on the team needs to be entrepreneurial, wear many hats and work in a highly collaborative environment.
