Assembly, Test and Launch Operations Engineer (ATLO), Satellite

A Day in the Life

You will help change the landscape of the rocket launch industry and be an integral and unique part of a close-knit team of individuals operating in a high energy environment. As an Assembly, Test and Launch Operations Engineer (ATLO), you will be primarily responsible for tasks such as designing and defining behavioral type testing of key space vehicle functions on a flight system, which will include how subsystems and the payloads interact/interface with each other. 

Your Mission

• Coordination and reporting of resources, schedule, and technical performance
• Scheduling of the ATLO Systems Engineering Team to support test activities
• Generation of electrical system level test procedures
• Requirement specification
• Anomaly resolution
• Identify key regression tests during integration
• Verification and Validation support
• Identify testbed needs, schedule and coordinate off site environmental testing, and process test data.
• The qualified candidate has experience in the design, verification and validation phases of a project, with a focus on integrating subsystems into the final system.

You Have

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, physical sciences, or mathematics with a minimum of 5 years of professional experience.
• Recent flight project implementation experience as an electrical/mechanical system engineer in one of the following areas: flight system, integration and test, subsystem, or equivalent.
• Working knowledge of all major spacecraft subsystems.
• Extensive understanding and application of principles, theories, concepts, and techniques used in system engineering and solving engineering problems.
• Significant experience in successfully leading project working groups on tasks for meeting on-time delivery of technical design products in subsystem or bus development, primarily for electrical hardware, assemblies, and mechanical systems; experience with development and delivery of system documentation (requirements, test plans, procedures, and design description documents).
• Ability to lead the activities and to synthesize the unique discipline knowledge of a broad range of technical subject matter experts (SME’s)
• Ability to deal with multiple issues, tasks, and priorities concurrently: excellent collaboration, negotiations, oral, and written communication, and presentation skills.
• Ability to identify critical issues and blockers to integration testing and resolve them.

Strongly Desired

• In-depth experience on flight projects in requirement development, integration and test and/or verification and validation.
• Experience with guidance and control aspects of system engineering, including system software specification, development, and test; payloads and instruments; knowledge of project ground data systems and mission operations teams.
• Extensive experience planning for and leading complex hardware and/or software integration activities
• Proven ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary and multi-organizational team; ability to work on major project assignments without appreciable direction with accountability for technical performance
