PCBA design verification testing and system integration testing: test requirements, test plans, assembly, validation, test automation, operation of test equipment and results documentation.
Build and own test stations. Design, wire, code, and keep them running.
Write the Python code that runs the benches. Automated test scripts, data acquisition, processing pipelines, reporting tools — all versioned in Git, structured to be shared with and used by other engineers.
Run formal test campaigns. From component-level validation to subsystem acceptance, including occasional flight hardware (mostly EM/EQM units).
Document results, feed performance models, support design reviews.
Incoming inspection, first article checks, board-level debug with oscilloscope, logic analyzer, multimeter, and power supplies.
Participate in AIT campaigns, including environmental testing.
Bsc + 5, Msc + 3 in Electrical Engineering.
Proficiency in Root Cause Analysis and Gauge RR.
Strong Python proficiency. Structured, maintainable code. Git as a daily workflow.
Comfortable handling sensitive hardware: ESD protocols, clean room practices, careful documentation.
Hands-on experience with lab instruments: oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, multimeters, power supplies, signal generators.
Experience building and operating test jigs using Raspberry Pi, Arduino, or similar embedded platforms.
Organized and proactive problem solver who thrives in a hands-on, fast-paced startup environment.
Experience with spacecrafts and environmental testing (radiation, thermal, vacuum, vibration, EMC).
Familiarity with common embedded communication interfaces: SPI, I²C, UART, CAN, RS-422/485.
Exposure to CI/CD, configuration management, or test framework design (pytest, etc.).
Hands-on experience in PCB Design.
