You will build and troubleshoot electrical test setups, solder test hardware, write test software (Labview, Python), configure and run data acquisition (DAQ) systems, and operate spacecraft and instrument surrogates for verification testing.\nThis is an electrical engineering role with substantial bench and test facility work. You will own the electrical test chain from the hardware connection through acquisition, automation, and recorded evidence. During environmental campaigns, you will work alongside the engineer responsible for mechanical testing, providing electrical test support and functional verification.\nOn-site in Arlington, Texas. Hands-on bench work and test facility presence are required. Some travel between sites expected.\nWhat you will do:\nPlan and execute the antenna assembly’s electrical verification campaign, from requirements and test procedures through anomaly investigation and verification closure.\nSet up, check out, operate, and troubleshoot EGSE, including spacecraft and instrument surrogates used to exercise the antenna assembly’s electrical interfaces.\nBuild, modify, and repair electrical test hardware, including hands-on soldering and test connections, following applicable workmanship and hardware handling procedures.\nWrite, maintain, and debug scripts for instrument control, test sequencing, data acquisition, and data reduction.\nConfigure and operate DAQ systems. Check the measurement chain and recorded data before relying on them to make a hardware decision.\nDevelop repeatable test procedures and record the hardware, EGSE, software, and acquisition configuration needed to interpret and reproduce a result.\nMonitor electrical behavior during test execution, respond to anomalies in accordance with procedures, and distinguish test-equipment or script problems from test-article problems.\nSupport electrical functional checks and monitoring associated with environmental test campaigns, coordinating with the mechanical test engineer and facility team.\nDocument results, limitations, and anomaly dispositions; maintain electrical verification closure records in the verification matrix.\nRequired qualifications:\nBS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical electrical engineering experience.\nHands-on experience testing and troubleshooting electrical hardware, with personal responsibility for bench setup, execution, and interpretation of results.\nAbility to read electrical schematics and connection documentation, make and inspect soldered connections, and troubleshoot electrical test hardware.\nAbility to write and debug LabVIEW or Python scripts that interact with real instruments or DAQ hardware. Proficiency in at least one is required.\nExperience configuring and running a DAQ system and checking that the full measurement chain produces credible data.\nExperience operating EGSE or comparable electrical test equipment used to exercise and verify hardware interfaces.\nAbility to write clear procedures, investigate anomalies methodically, and document the evidence supporting a test conclusion.\nPreferred qualifications:\nSpacecraft or instrument EGSE experience, including operation or development of spacecraft and instrument surrogates.\nElectrical verification of flight or other high-reliability hardware.\nElectrical functional testing and instrumentation during thermal-vacuum, vibration, or other environmental campaigns.\nExperience with LabVIEW, Python, or other data acquisition software, and with maintaining test automation that other engineers or technicians can run.\nExperience integrating instrumentation and DAQ into larger assembly-level test setups.\nAdditional Requirements\nThis is a fast-paced, high-impact environment - flexibility to occasionally work extended hours or weekends during critical periods is expected.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3992,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Space & Aerospace","Satellite Manufacturing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-22T18:22:17Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":61,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-27T05:46:45Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":210000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/e-space-electrical-test-engineer-egse-instrumentation","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/e-space-electrical-test-engineer-egse-instrumentation.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-27T09:05:15Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":10062,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-28T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2438005},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2438005"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fe-space-electrical-test-engineer-egse-instrumentation"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fe-space-electrical-test-engineer-egse-instrumentation"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fe-space-electrical-test-engineer-egse-instrumentation"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/e-space-electrical-test-engineer-egse-instrumentation\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fe-space-electrical-test-engineer-egse-instrumentation"}]}
