Lead Development Test Engineer overseeing test capabilities and a team for satellite hardware development and qualification.

Lead a team of engineers enabling rapid hardware development through test — thermal, fluids, environmental chambers, structural, vibration, and dynamic test
Oversee and own development-focused thermal chambers (HASS / HALT) and, as capability stands up, TVAC — hardware, fixturing, profiles, instrumentation, controls/dashboards, safety
Oversee structural, vibration, pressure, and related mechanical test: test article and stand configuration, boundary conditions, schematics, CONOPS
Act as technical decision maker and advisor to the team
Coach and develop direct reports; set clear goals
Develop, document, and implement cross-functional testing solutions (capability, coverage, safety)
Design and implement GSE: fixtures, automated test equipment, facilities infrastructure
Operate and activate stands with engineers and technicians; partner with Development Operations for fab (you do not own technician people ops)

Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or other engineering discipline
3+ years of hands-on design, analysis, build, and test
2+ year leading a product development, manufacturing engineering, or project team
Willing to work weekends and extended hours as needed

Strong desire to mentor and develop engineers

was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.
is looking for a Lead Development Test Engineer to oversee a team responsible for development and qualification test of satellite hardware in Bastrop. This individual owns design, activation, safety, and reliability of thermal, fluids, chamber, structural, and vibration test capability (HASS, HALT, TVAC, static/dynamic/vibe). The role spans design, analysis, and manufacturing. You will take large-scope projects from early trades through implementation, define processes, drive requirements, and activate systems that meet the bar.
