As a Senior Software Engineer specializing in Hardware Test & Automation, you will be working as a part of the production engineering team, whose responsibility is to define and improve the way we manufacture and test our satellites.
You will be responsible for developing modular, reusable test and automation software primarily in Python and similar languages, focusing on testing both subsystems and complete satellites in a production environment. This work will happen in collaboration with other engineers within the team and from other teams. You will be expected to lead and mentor junior engineers, fostering a collaborative, supportive work environment and elevating the engineering standards for the whole team.
Your role involves defining and constructing the test automation framework and its integration with other manufacturing data systems. You'll write automation software to interact with flight hardware, test equipment, instrumentation, and production documentation systems, ensuring seamless operations.
Additionally, you'll maintain and troubleshoot existing test setups, collaborating closely with the quality assurance team to identify and rectify the root causes of failures. Managing project plans, milestones, and reviews will be part of your responsibilities to ensure the timely delivery of reliable test systems to production. Furthermore, you'll innovate tools to facilitate more frequent and dependable software deployment, test execution, and data analysis as integral components of a continuous integration and release system.
