Electronics Test Engineer I

Please Note: To conform with the United States Government Space Technology Export Regulations, the applicant must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., conditional resident, asylee or refugee (protected individuals as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.


At CesiumAstro, we are developers and pioneers of out-of-the-box communication systems for satellites, UAVs, launch vehicles, and other space and airborne platforms. We take pride in our dynamic and cross-functional work environment, which allows us to learn, develop, and engage across our organization. If you are looking for hands-on, interactive, and autonomous work, CesiumAstro is the place for you. We are actively seeking passionate, collaborative, energetic, and forward-thinking individuals to join our team.


We are looking to add an Electronics Test Engineer I to our team. If you are great at what you do, enjoy working in a startup environment, and are passionate about developing critical test systems for leading-edge satellite, spacecraft, and aerospace communication systems, we would like to hear from you.


In this position, you will be responsible for designing and executing test plans and test equipment for space and airborne electronics. In the space industry, test engineering is a critical technical field that combines deep technical knowledge with extensive hands-on experience. Level I Test Engineers play a broad role that ranges from authoring test plans and procedures to designing test PCBs, along with spending plenty of time in the lab assembling and testing cutting-edge phased array systems and components. 


Test Engineers work with electronics from the “design for testability” stage through verification and validation of high-speed digital circuits, power electronics, embedded systems, and more. Examples of projects may include designing and implementing verification systems for 10-gigabit data links, power control loops, and integrated RF systems. This may include designing custom circuit boards for test and integration purposes.


The ideal candidate is strong in electronics and test theory as well as hands-on lab work. Industry exposure to measurement techniques, test architectures, and automation are preferred. The successful candidate will work closely with multi-disciplinary teams to address company-wide hardware test needs.


Mentorship and growth are key to long-term success. The successful candidate will be surrounded by more experienced engineers in hardware as well as software, FPGAs, RF, mechanical, and other fields. Rapid technical and professional growth is both encouraged and expected.


JOB DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Designing test plans for board-level electronic assemblies, working closely with design engineers.
  • Executing tests in the electronics lab, such as functional testing, digital signal integrity verification, or power converter control loop measurements.
  • Executing multi-board assembly testing, such as functional testing of a complex phased array system.
  • Designing test fixtures or equipment, such as custom PCBs for test or integration purposes.
  • Planning integration of multiple prototype modules.
  • Assembling complex test setups, working with design engineers and technicians.
  • Troubleshooting and debugging hardware issues.
  • Evaluating and documenting test results, presenting them to key stakeholders.
  • Contributing to lab buildout and lab management.


JOB REQUIREMENTS AND MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
  • A Bachelor of Science (BS) or higher degree in Electrical Engineering or similar from an accredited university.
  • Prior relevant internship or research experience in test engineering.
  • Experience designing and executing test plans for custom board-level electronics. 
  • Hands-on experience with lab instruments such as digital oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, RF signal generators, and vector signal analyzers.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.


PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
  • Industry experience in test engineering, such as internships.
  • Programming or scripting experience, such as Python. 
  • Board-level hardware design experience.
  • Aerospace industry experience.
  • EMI/EMC test design and execution.
  • Understanding of RF and mixed-signal hardware (e.g. amplifiers, filters, ADCs/DACs, antennas).


CesiumAstro considers several factors when extending an offer, including but not limited to, the role and associated responsibilities, a candidate’s work experience, education/training, and key skills.  Full-time employment offers include company stock options and a generous benefits package including health, dental, vision, HSA, FSA, life, disability and retirement plans.
