- Develop test system architecture including power distribution, signal conditioning, and data acquisition.
- Implement test automation frameworks and scripts for spacecraft checkout and validation.
- Support spacecraft and payload electrical integration, test campaigns, and anomaly resolution.
- Design and execute hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulations and interface emulators.
- Prepare test procedures, participate in Test Readiness Reviews (TRRs), and document test reports.
- Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams (systems, mechanical, software, I&T;) to ensure test coverage.
- Maintain compliance with aerospace quality, safety, and configuration management standards.
Ideal Experience - B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related STEM discipline.
- 5 or more years of experience in spacecraft electrical integration, test, or EGSE development.
- Experience with test automation and scripting languages and software such as Python, LabVIEW, MATLAB, TCL, C/C++.
- Hands-on experience with power electronics, load emulation, and power supplies.
- Knowledge of spacecraft interfaces such as MIL-STD-1553, SpaceWire, RS-422, Ethernet, CAN, PCIe, LVDS.
- Proficiency with electrical schematics, harness design, and test hardware integration.
- Familiarity with test equipment: oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power/network/spectrum analyzers.
- Experience supporting spacecraft testing in thermal vacuum, EMI/EMC, and vibration environments.
- US Citizen with the ability to obtain a US Government/DoD Security Clearance.
Desired Skills - Experience with EGSE design and operation for space vehicles
- Strong troubleshooting, fault isolation, and problem-solving skills.
- Excellent communication skills and ability to work in cross-disciplinary teams.
- Demonstrated experience leading EGSE development efforts from requirements flow down to certification, including requirements derivation, design and layout, schematics capture, parts release and procurement, assembly, test, and validation.
- Proficiency with spacecraft avionics systems, such as power, C&DH, communications, networking, and GNC hardware.
- Proficiency programming and implementing LabVIEW for maximizing test automation.
- Familiarity with configuration management tools (e.g., Git, SVN, JIRA, Confluence, DOORS).

How We Determine What We Pay (Compensation Philosophy)
Redwire determines pay for positions using local, national, and industry-specific survey data, for our locations throughout the US. We will evaluate external equity and the cost of labor/prevailing wage index, in the relative marketplace for jobs directly comparable to jobs within our company.
For new hires, we strive to make competitive offers allowing the new employee room for future growth. Salaries will be based on the applicant's level of experience, education, and specialized knowledge and skills. Additionally, we consider the external market rate, the amount we have budgeted internally, and internal equity within the company for the same position. An employee/candidate with a stronger skill set will receive higher pay.
