Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.Development testing is focused on characterizing and validating existing flight designs and development hardware. Test objectives include improved understanding of failure modes to inform design improvements, production acceptance testing non-conformance investigations, and root cause investigations of on-orbit anomalies anomalies.Key job responsibilities
- You will work with stakeholders across the Propulsion Manufacturing and Design Teams to coordinate and support development test efforts.- You will lead by example by developing a strong understanding of the flight hardware and its test systems as well as contribute to hiring, mentoring, and career growth of the engineers on your team, and within the Propulsion Manufacturing and Engineering organization.
