Job Description
🛰 Environmental Test Engineer – Vibration & TVAC | Space Systems
Are you passionate about building hardware that survives launch and thrives in orbit?
We’re supporting a space company that’s building the first and only global cellular broadband network in space, enabling standard mobile phones to connect directly to satellites- no ground infrastructure needed.
They’re hiring an Environmental Test Engineer to join their mission. You'll be hands-on with shakers, TVAC chambers, data systems, and high-stakes flight hardware, verifying spacecraft components through vibration and thermal vacuum testing. This role is perfect for someone who wants to work cross-functionally, build out cleanroom test setups, and ensure mission-critical systems survive launch and space.
You’ll be doing:
- Writing and executing test plans for vibration (sine, random, shock) and TVAC testing
- Setting up and calibrating shakers, vacuum chambers, thermal instrumentation, and DAQ systems
- Collaborating with design, manufacturing, and systems engineering to define test requirements
- Monitoring and troubleshooting test campaigns in real time
- Leading root cause investigations when anomalies occur
- Producing detailed test reports (including data, plots, and pass/fail assessments)
- Driving continuous improvement across environmental test processes and infrastructure
You’ll need:
- 3+ years of experience in space or defense environmental testing
- Strong hands-on background with shakers, TVAC chambers, accelerometers, and thermal sensors
- Familiarity with MIL-STD-1540, NASA GEVS, ECSS, or related standards
- Solid understanding of test instrumentation, fixturing, and contamination control
- Engineering degree (Mechanical, Aerospace, or similar)
Bonus points for:
- Experience with LabVIEW, TestStand, MATLAB, or Python for automation and data analysis
- Satellite or launch vehicle campaign experience
- Cleanroom discipline and high-reliability mindset
📍 Location: Onsite role in Texas (relocation supported)
🛰 Sector: Satellite / Space Systems / Telecom
💼 Type: Permanent, full-time
💰 Compensation: Competitive base + bonus + equity/options
This is a chance to test spacecraft that will connect billions around the world. If you want a role where your work has real mission impact, let's talk.
