As part of a hardworking team of engineers, you will own design elements of the Blue Ring test equipment, and test the Blue Ring spacecraft alongside it's unique payloads. This role will require the candidate to coordinate design elements with avionics product owners, collaborate with customers, and support Blue Ring spacecraft test teams. In a fast-paced, dynamic environment, you will architect the test equipment design, deliver engineering design products, own fielded hardware , and develop LabVIEW code to command and control the Blue Ring spacecraft . You will have a major role to play in delivering the Blue Ring spacecraft from early manufacturing integration of sub-assemblies, all the way through final payload integration of the Blue Ring spacecraft in preparation for launch.

• Develop automated test equipment hardware and software for the Blue Ring spacecraft and its payloads
• Own fielded test equipment
• Review and apply real-time testanomaly troubleshootingand resolution of issues encountered during hardwarevalidation testing and verification testing.
