Job description

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you've come to the right place!
E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.
We're intentional, we're unapologetically curious and we're 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.
As a Senior AIT Engineer, you will participate in the E-Space satellite assembly, integration, and testing (AIT) activities. As part of the E-Space AIT team, you will have the opportunity to test thousands of flight hardware units and directly contribute to the success of an innovative satellite architecture on-orbit.
This position is based in Saratoga, CA.
What you will be doing:
  • Spacecraft sub-system acceptance:
  • Organize the acceptance of the spacecraft sub-systems before integration to the flatsat (EM), or to the satellite structure (FM)
  • EM flatsat activities:
  • Define the Verification and Validation (V&V) requirements for the activity
  • GSE definition and procurement
  • Satellite procedure creation and execution on the flatsat
  • Result collection
  • V&V requirement Statement of Compliance
  • Participate in the spacecraft unit qualification test campaigns
  • FM AIT activities:
  • GSE definition and procurement
  • Satellite procedure creation and execution on the FM Spacecraft
  • Result collection
  • V&V requirement Statement of Compliance
  • Participate in the FM Satellite environmental test campaigns

What you bring to this role:
  • 7+ years of experience in spacecraft engineering
  • Experience with a satellite AIT campaign
  • Good understanding of spacecraft subsystem development, having been involved in the development of at least one
  • Understanding of electrical test equipment, test procedures, data acquisition systems, and instrumentation
  • Experience in environmental testing such as vibration, shock, thermal, and TVAC
  • Programming experience in Python, MATLAB/Simulink
  • Demonstrated success working in a dynamic environment

Bonus points for the following:
  • Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering
  • Experience with radiation effects testing
  • Project/program management skills

Additional Requirements
This is a fast-paced, high-impact environment - flexibility to occasionally work extended hours or weekends during critical periods is expected.
This is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Saratoga office. The target base pay for this position is $130,000 - $170,000 annually. The total compensation packaged will be determined by various factors such as your relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used-so we're looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that's your experience - then we'll be immediately wow-ed.
E-Space is not currently able to provide employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work authorization for the location of this role.
Why E-Space is right for you:
As a member of our team, you will play a crucial role in driving our success. Our team members have a strong sense of dedication and responsibility; this includes a strong commitment to our mission to create an entirely new suite of global capabilities to improve lives, business efficiencies and build a smarter planet. This means that there will be times when extra hours, including nights and weekends, may be needed to meet critical deadlines and mission goals. In return, we offer a dynamic work environment with opportunities for professional growth and development and the chance to make a meaningful impact in a high-growth industry.
We want you to make the most of your journey at E-Space. That's why we support and invest in the physical, emotional and financial well-being of our team members and their families. Some of what you can expect when working at E-Space:
• An opportunity to really make a difference
• Sustainability at our core
• Fair and honest workplace
• Innovative thinking is encouraged
• Competitive salaries
• Continuous learning and development
• Health and wellness care options
• Financial solutions for the future
• Optional legal services (US only)
• Paid holidays
• Paid time off
