System Integration & Test Engineer - HWIL/SWIL

As System Integration & Test Engineer you will be responsible for;

• Support satellite verification and validation activities across Flatsat, HWIL, SWIL, and simulator environments by mapping technical requirements into effective test strategies and plans.
• Develop system‑level and subsystem‑level test plans, procedures, and automated test scripts to verify software, hardware, and integrated system performance.
• Design and build automated test systems, ground support equipment, and tooling to improve workflow, test coverage, and production efficiency.
• Serve as Test Conductor for formal validation events, leading dry runs, readiness assessments, and execution of scripted validation sequences.
• Write automated test scripts—particularly TCL‑based scripts—for command‑and‑control environments and maintain reusable test frameworks.
• Troubleshoot complex hardware/software interactions, perform detailed data analysis, and generate test reports, non‑conformance records, and closure documentation.
• Coordinate cross‑functional efforts across engineering, integration, and operations teams to support planning, readiness, and execution of test campaigns.
• Support system architecture activities including trade studies, requirements updates, and development of key mission‑level artifacts such as CONOPS, algorithm descriptions, and interface documents.
