A day in the life
As the Test Engineering Manager, you and your team will develop and deliver test systems for avionics subsystems for both development and production test. You will be responsible for development test campaigns, which include board level electrical design verification test, LRU qualification test, and reliability test. You will lead the definition and deployment of your test systems to production test, which include external and internal manufacturing test.

About the team
Our team designs and delivers the test systems that enable qualifying and acceptance testing the hardware subsystems for the flight computer, power delivery, and RF systems on the satellite avionics bus. You and your team will lead design verification, qualification, and reliability testing of our avionics subsystems, and deliver test systems to development and production test workstreams.
