About the RoleAs a Spacecraft Integration Engineer, you will be responsible for turning mature satellite platform designs into flight-ready systems. In this role, you will live at the intersection of engineering, test, and production. You will ensure our products and vehicles meet system requirements & perform reliably in flight through a combination of verification and validation.
Responsibilities:- Oversee and support component and system-level testing, focusing on functional and performance testing
- Develop, review, and approve system level test procedures, ensuring key performance indicators are appropriately covered in each test and success criteria are correctly defined
- Analyze test data and lead anomaly investigation and resolution. This function will require a deep understanding of what each test is verifying and what anomalous behavior in each test indicate about component or system health.
- Lead system level test improvements by identifying and implementing opportunities for increased automation, refinement of test methods, and upgrades to test equipment in collaboration with the test engineering & production teams.
- Verification, Validation, and Flight readiness
- Maintain component and system-level verification artifacts, test reports, and compliance documentation for Apex-internal and end customer use
- Support qualification, acceptance, and flight readiness reviews
- Cross-functional execution
- Collaborate closely with production, test, quality, and vehicle engineering teams to continuously evaluate & improve testing
- Communicate system status, risks, and issues clearly to stakeholders including engineering, production, and mission management
- Engage with customers to methodically share test results, anomalies, and status in collaboration with mission management
Requirements: - US person
- B.S in Aerospace, Mech, systems, or related field
- 2+ years of experience with system integration, test, and qualification
- Strong understanding of satellite subsystems and system-level interactions
- Strong problem-solving, organization, and communication skills as applied to company-internal and external customer-facing discussions.
Preferred: - Prior flight hardware and/or ground testbed (e.g. FlatSat) experience.
- Familiarity with root cause analysis methods such as fishbone diagrams, common cause analyses, and fault trees.
- Experience operating in a production or high-rate environment.
