Pay rate range- $60/hr. - $65/hr.

Fully onsite

Job Description:

Key Job Responsibilities:

Perform detailed failure analysis of test fallout from thermal vacuum (TVAC), vibration, Accelerated Screening, and functional tests at the subassembly and vehicle level.

Conduct hands-on hardware debug using lab tools (oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, etc.) and system schematics.

Support space hardware testing, including tooling design and data analysis.

Analyze hardware test failures and lead root cause investigations across diverse subsystems

Drive root cause identification and corrective actions for recurring issues impacting yield and throughput.

Create scalable debug processes and documentation to support rapid production ramp-up.

Influence process improvements and implement systemic solutions for test and assembly non-conformances.

Own and execute debug plans to support production teams in reducing non-conformance resolutions and closures.

Analyze failure pareto before and after engineering changes to evaluate effectiveness and uncover new failure interactions.

Develop scalable processes and documentation for debug, triage, and test disposition.

Support pilot debug efforts and scale to broader product lines.

Basic Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, physics, material science or other related discipline, or relevant experience.
