Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run. Key Responsibilities: - Design, develop, and maintain Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) sub-system and system level testing - Define and implement EGSE hardware and software architectures tailored to specific test scenarios, AIT campaigns, and HiL environments - Develop LabVIEW-based applications, for both desktop and real-time platforms (e.g., PXI, cRIO), supporting checkout, functional, and pre-launch test operations - Integrate and configure NI VeriStand as part of real-time test setups, including simulation of spacecraft interfaces and umbilical/harness verification - Design and support power, signal conditioning, and telemetry/telecommand interfaces between EGSE and the Unit/Spacecraft Under Test - Support RF test activities for the TT&C chain, including uplink telecommand injection, downlink telemetry reception, and coordination of conducted/radiated test setups with the RF/comms subsystem team - Collaborate with cross-functional teams (AIT, systems, RF, electrical, and FSW) to ensure seamless integration of EGSE hardware and software into functional test platforms - Support test execution, data acquisition, logging, and automated reporting during integration, functional, and environmental test campaigns - Create and maintain technical documentation, including EGSE architecture specifications, ICDs, code documentation, and user/operator guides - Provide support for debugging, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement of EGSE and test platforms, including on-site support during AIT/launch campaigns - Develop a robust and scalable EGSE software framework supporting reuse and modularity across projects - Define test automation workflows - Design and maintain EGSE-to-EUT interface hardware (harnesses, breakout boxes, simulators, load banks) with correct isolation, protection, and safety interlocks - Own cable and harness design for EGSE-to-EUT connections, including pinout definition, connector selection, shielding/grounding strategy, and drawing generation - Coordinate closely with electrical, RF, and systems engineers to ensure requirements traceability, interface compatibility, and test coverage - Drive the continuous evolution of EGSE/HiL infrastructure, with an emphasis on performance, reliability, and maintainability - Ensure all solutions meet space-grade quality, safety, and cleanliness standards (e.g., ESD, contamination control), aligned with project and range safety requirements Must-Have Skills and Qualifications - Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field - Proficiency in LabVIEW, including desktop and real-time application development - Hands-on experience with NI VeriStand in real-time test environments - Familiarity with NI TestStand for test automation and execution management - Solid understanding of EGSE/test platform architectures, hardware/software integration, and real-time systems - Experience with spacecraft electrical interfaces: power distribution/simulation, discrete/analog telemetry, telecommand encoding, and standard space communication protocols (e.g., CAN, RS422/485, MIL-STD-1553, SpaceWire, Ethernet) - Working knowledge of ICD development and requirements traceability between EGSE and flight hardware - Ability to influence and shape ICDs and connector/pinout definitions upstream, rather than solely implementing to a fixed interface — working with electrical/systems engineers early in the design cycle to ensure EGSE testability and harness manufacturability - Experience with cable/harness design, including connector selection, pinout/wiring diagrams, shielding and grounding practices, and generation of harness drawing
