- Work with test and reliability to define a common set of hardware and software to create automated test racks for avionics modules (primarily PCBAs)
- Define the overarching validation strategy, test plans/methodologies for spacecraft avionics (flight computers, power systems, RF/communication payloads).
- Partner with hardware design engineers early in the product lifecycle to implement Design for Test (DFT) and Design for Manufacturability (DFM) requirements.
- Write and maintain python scripts based on the software test framework used throughout the hardware org.
- Create methods for rack self test and preventative maintenance so racks can be monitored and maintained by the production team.
- Guide and mentor junior test and hardware engineers, establish engineering best practices for the test team, and lead technical design reviews for test infrastructure.
- Create custom electrical or mechanical fixturing when required to make tests fast and easy to run
