Space Test Engineer

HawkEye 360 is seeking a Space Test Engineer to join the Assembly, Integration, & Test (AI&T) Team. The Space Team’s mission is to design, build, and test small commercial satellites that provide revolutionary RF geospatial analytics.

In this role, you will serve as a technical owner for development, improvement, and execution of spacecraft-level test programs. You will modernize existing test procedures, design new ones, and ensure that HawkEye 360’s spacecraft are verified with rigor, efficiency, and engineering excellence. This position requires strong hands-on experience, systems-level awareness, and the ability to design test support equipment that enables reliable validation of complex RF payloads and spacecraft subsystems.

Your main responsibilities will be:

• Independently execute unit-level and spacecraft-level functional tests, analyze results, and drive updates to test procedures based on findings.
• Modernize existing test procedures to increase clarity, efficiency, and coverage.
• Design, plan and execute environmental tests (TVAC, Vibe, EMI/EMC, radiation)
• Design harnessing, electrical and mechanical ground support equipment (EGSE and MGSE) to facilitate I&T work for flatsats and flight hardware
• Collaborate with the software team to execute and implement automated test scripts and framework
• Develop and refine detailed design documents, interface control drawing (ICD’s), test plans, and test procedures across spacecraft subsystems.
• Support launch site integration and test campaigns
• Work with limited oversight in a fast-paced integration and test environment, making informed technical decisions and escalating issues appropriately.
