As a Senior Test Integration Engineer, you will focus on prototype integration, development testing, and vehicle-level test campaigns, with direct involvement in both early-stage hardware and flight hardware qualification. You'll play a key role in the build-test-learn cycle, helping rapidly mature designs into flight-ready systems.
Take the #NextLeap with Lunar Outpost and work on the Pegasus LTV, which will carry NASA astronauts farther than they've ever been before on the lunar surface!
