Key job responsibilities
We are looking for an experienced engineer to lead design verification and test for the Kuiper satellite electrical power system. In this role you will be responsible for ensuring the satellite electrical power system meets all requirements through testing in different venues and levels of integration. This will include:• Working with system engineers to create verification cross reference matrices to define test coverage and execution across all power system test venues including hardware in the loop and production acceptance testing.
• Using power system design requirements to develop test plans and procedures.
• Define and develop test systems/venues necessary to meet verification goals of the power system, including development and test execution on hardware in the loop integrated test beds.
• Drive test execution for system level verification testing, and support teams working on production test execution.
• Drive test readiness reviews, and verification/qualification test results reviews with multiple cross-team leaders
• Be a technical leader/role model and mentor of other engineers; instilling best practices across the full development and test lifecycles.A day in the life
In this role you will be a member of the satellite power systems team which oversees development and validation of the current and future generation satellite electrical power systems. As a Sr. Power Systems Test Engineer, you will own power system verification and test and will work with other power systems and development engineers to deliver a fully validated power system for the satellite. You will work to develop test plans for the satellite power system that provides full coverage for system requirements. You will function as a lead for power hardware-in-the-loop (PHITL) test beds, ensuring these venues are properly designed to provide verification of the satellite power system. You will also drive reviews for a given campaign of power system validation; pulling in cross-functional teams to review and reach alignment. You will also support production test venues through test definition and data reviews. Finally, as a senior engineer on the team, you will serve as a technical leader and role model, ensuring that the team upholds a high standard, and instilling best practices within the power systems engineering team.
About the team
You will work with a team of top-notch engineers and collaborate with multiple other spacecraft design and integration teams. You should be comfortable with a high degree of ambiguity and relish the idea of solving problems that haven't been solved at scale before. You’ll have relentlessly high standards for yourself and everyone you work with, and you’ll be constantly looking for ways to improve system performance, and manage non-conformances into actionable items and procedural improvements. We want individuals who are ready for this challenge and want to reach beyond what is possible today.
