    We are seeking an excellent engineer who combines strong technical fundamentals with a demonstrated ability to support fast-paced production operations:

    • Perform initial triage and disposition of nonconformances, closing routine issues independently and escalating complex cases when needed
    • Review, update, and approve procedures for minor changes; identify and escalate changes requiring development engineering input
    • Serve as satellite health champion for stateofcharge monitors, charging constraints, and power hygiene requirements
    • Provide firstline production support for electrical issues, enabling rapid response to integration needs
    • Monitor satellite health during new or unique procedures; identify trends and flag anomalies before they impact operations
    • Interface with electrical ground support equipment racks to support integration activities and troubleshoot issues
    • Coordinate with manufacturing, integration, and launch teams to support production schedules and resolve blockers
    • Support up to 25% travel depending on launch vehicle campaign

    As a Hardware Test Engineer, you will be part the Launch Vehicle Integration – Electrical Engineering team, serving as the primary technical interface between production operations and development.

    Your day will be driven by production needs—triaging nonconformances as they arise, reviewing work order changes, and ensuring satellite health requirements are maintained across the integration floor.


    On a given day, you may review and disposition a queue of nonconformances, closing straightforward issues and packaging complex ones for engineering review as needed.

    You might check dashboards to verify satellite state of health for various ops, then coordinate with technicians to address any anomalies.

    You could review a work order template update request, approve minor changes, or flag items needing development engineering input.

    When issues arise on the integration floor, you will be the first responder—troubleshooting electrical systems, interpreting harness schematics, and determining whether an issue can be resolved in place or requires escalation.

    This role requires comfort operating in a fast-paced production environment where priorities shift and quickly. You will work closely with integration technicians, manufacturing engineers, and the dev engineers. You should enjoy being close to the hardware and take pride in keeping production moving. Along the way, we guarantee that you will learn a lot, have fun, and make a positive impact on tens of millions of people
