The position reports to the Test Operations Lead and is part of the Test Engineering group based in Mojave, CA. This role is onsite. In this role, the essential functions are: Support the integrated, qualification and acceptance testing of vehicle components/assemblies, including propulsion systems, avionics hardware, pressurant systems, and structural components. Develop test plans and test procedures, design/analyze test fixturing to support both on and off vehicle testing, write test reports, and hold test readiness and data reviews. Support the development and maintenance of the V&V and requirement verification matrix with the Systems Engineering team. Ensure system solutions are flight worthy prior to test and flight operations. Work with the Structures, Mechanisms, Integration and Test lead to optimize when and how on vehicle testing is performed to best support vehicle assembly timeline. As required, support tests performed by external suppliers as the responsible engineer for a given component/system. Collaborate with functional engineering teams to ensure test and requirement verification objectives are achieved with test plans. Identify, implement, and maintain instrumentation to capture vehicle and/or component performance while balancing cost, data fidelity, and timelines. Own or participate in post-test data reviews, including aspects such as vehicle/component performance and failure analyses encompassing failure modes, effects, and design solutions which mitigate future test failures. Support troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and corrective action implementation for test-related issues.
