Stellar Solutions is seeking an Electrical Test and Verification (ET&V) Engineer to support NASA’s Orion Program. The ET&V team is responsible for testing to accomplish verification and mission validation objectives in the Avionics discipline.  This involves test coordination and execution across system and subsystem levels in a high fidelity mission laboratory.

In this role, you will:

• Support test, integration, and verification activities across multiple Artemis missions.
• Collaborate with Certified Principal Engineers (CPEs) to develop, review, and execute test procedures that validate system and subsystem requirements
• Translate technical requirements into executable test scripts and procedures
• Conduct testing initially within simulation environments and progress to hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) labs
• Write test and verification reports to sell off requirements and test objectives
• Coordinate across engineering, planning, and test conductor teams to develop tests for execution in a flight-like lab
• Identify, document, and resolve test anomalies and discrepancies
• Develop subject matter expertise in technical domains such as:

• RF communications
• Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC)
• Command and Data Handling (C&DH)
• Avionics integration
• Electrical and mechanical subsystems

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related technical field
• 10+ years (or appropriate level) of experience in spacecraft, launch vehicle, or complex system integration and test environments
• Experience writing and executing test procedures or scripts in support of system verification
• Experience working in simulation and/or hardware-in-the-loop environments
• Strong understanding of systems engineering principles and requirement verification
• Experience with Microsoft Office tools (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with demonstrated ability to:

• Translate technical requirements into executable procedures
• Communicate schedule impacts to planners
• Elevate execution risks and concerns to test conductors and leadership

• Ability to work in a fast-paced, highly coordinated, multi-disciplinary engineering environment
• U.S. citizenship required

Desired Qualifications

• Prior experience supporting NASA human spaceflight programs (Orion experience highly preferred)
• Experience with:

• Python, MATLAB, or other scripting tools
• Data analysis and post-test evaluation
• RF, GNC, or avionics systems
• Requirements development

• Experience supporting high velocity test campaigns teams
• Experience in a lab environment with flight or flight-like hardware

Compensation and Benefits:

The typical salary pay range for this position is USD $118,000 – $143,000 per year plus a significant, company-funded profit-sharing retirement savings plan. Individual pay is determined by many factors including work location, job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
