Position Responsibilities:EGSE System Design & Development: - Support the design, development, and deployment of EGSE systems including hardware interfaces, power supplies, data buses, and communication links.
- Ensure EGSE systems meet program requirements, technical specifications, and quality standards.
- Assist in the development of test procedures, system configurations, and validation protocols.
Troubleshooting & Support:- Diagnose and resolve complex technical issues related to EGSE systems during integration and test campaigns.
- Provide real-time support during system-level test activities, including anomaly resolution and root cause analysis.
- Document and implement improvements to EGSE tools, processes, and procedures based on findings.
System Integration & Validation:- Perform integration and functional verification of EGSE hardware and software components.
- Contribute to system-level testing by ensuring EGSE accurately replicates spacecraft interfaces and functionality.
- Validate EGSE performance through rigorous testing and support configuration control of test systems.
Collaboration & Process Coordination:- Work closely with Design Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality Assurance, and IT teams to ensure EGSE solutions meet operational needs.
- Participate in design reviews, readiness assessments, and failure review boards.
- Collaborate with Procurement and Supply Chain teams for hardware sourcing and vendor technical support.
Documentation & Reporting:- Maintain detailed documentation of EGSE configurations, modifications, and validation activities.
- Support change control processes by documenting engineering changes, system upgrades, and technical decisions.
- Generate and maintain reports for internal and customer-facing reviews.
Qualified Experience / Skills / Training:Education:- Required: Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, computer engineering, or a related technical discipline
Experience:- 3-6 years of experience in electrical engineering, with a focus on test systems or EGSE preferred.
- Experience supporting hardware/software integration and validation in a space or aerospace environment.
