About the Role
We're looking for a Satellite AIT EGSE Engineer to take the reins on specifying, procuring, maintaining, and troubleshooting the electrical test racks (EGSE) that bring spacecraft from blueprint to blast-off. You'll be hands-on with validation, maintenance, and fault-finding, while also running the behind-the-scenes show - configuring, maintaining, and administering the computers on the EGSE network.
If you're as comfortable with a soldering iron as you are with a bash script, this is where your skills meet the stars.

Maintaining and fault-finding on electronic and RF test racks.
Administering computer systems and networks across Windows and Linux.
Developing scripts and code to keep EGSE systems mission-ready.
Supporting environmental and launch test campaigns.
Preparing test specs, reviewing supplier data packs, and contributing to design and non-conformance reviews.
What You'll Bring (Essential)
Deep theoretical and practical knowledge of electronic and RF test racks.
Strong fault-finding skills down to board/component level.
Experience with Windows/Linux network administration.
Excellent documentation skills.
Knowledge of interfaces such as MIL-1553, SpaceWire, CAN bus, RS232/422.
Familiarity with ATE environments (PCI, VXI, PXI).
Confident using lab test equipment.
Understanding of test system design, manufacture, and commissioning.
Flexibility to support shifts and overseas test campaigns.
It Would Be Great If You Also Have (Desirable)
Experience integrating electrical equipment on spacecraft.
TMTC database knowledge.
Experience writing test sequences/scripts for spacecraft systems, including FDIR.
Background in environmental and launch test campaigns.
Strong programming/scripting ability - especially bash, plus C, Java, Python, TCL, VBA.
Why Join Us?
This is your chance to be part of a team building and testing the hardware that actually leaves the planet. You'll be working on complex, high-stakes engineering challenges with some of the best minds in the industry - and you'll see your work go from lab bench to orbit.
