A fast-growing space scale-up at the forefront of satellite innovation, specializing in advanced software-flexible satellites for commercial, governmental, and scientific endeavors.\nThis is more than a job, it’s a missionWe are making space universally accessible and redefining what's possible.\n\nWe get things doneWe take ownership of what we do and we work hard to make a difference.\n\nWe are fearlessTransparency is our only way forward. We dare to address and resolve issues head-on.\n\nWe learn from our mistakesWe deliver, take informed risks, and evolve to achieve our goals. We compare with the best version of ourselves\n\nWhat is the role?\nEnduroSat designs and manufactures software-defined CubeSats, smallsats, and space-grade subsystems that fly in LEO, where a single undetected defect can end a mission. As Failure Analysis Engineer, you sit at the point where that risk is caught, understood, and eliminated.\nWorking inside the Product Assurance function, you own the technical investigation of hardware failures across our flight and ground products - from EEE component anomalies to board- and system-level faults. You isolate faults at the bench, determine root cause down to the designator and failure-mechanism level, and drive the corrective actions that stop the same failure from happening again. This is a hands-on, lab-and-bench role for an engineer who is energized by figuring out why something broke and making sure it never breaks the same way twice.\nSome of your daily tasks will include:\nLeading failure analysis investigations on electronic hardware (PCBA, EEE components, harnesses, mechanical interfaces) raised through the non-conformance (NCR) process\nPerforming fault isolation and diagnostics at the bench - signal tracing, in-circuit measurement, functional testing, and bring-up debugging on flight and engineering-model boards\nDetermining root cause to the level of the failing component or mechanism, distinguishing design, manufacturing, component, and process contributors\nDefining, proposing, and verifying corrective and preventive actions\nUsing non-destructive and destructive analysis techniques as appropriate to confirm failure mechanisms\nMaintaining the failure analysis case record, trending recurring failure modes, and feeding lessons learned back into design rules, screening, and supplier requirements\nSupporting supplier failure investigations and qualification activities, including review of component and PCB/PCBA quality issues\nWhat do we look for?\nTechnical secondary education or higher in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field\n3+ years of hands-on experience in hardware debugging, failure analysis, test, or hardware design\nStrong ability to read and interpret schematics, PCB layouts, data sheets, and BOMs, and to reason about circuit behavior down to the component level\nPractical proficiency with bench instrumentation: oscilloscope, multimeter, power supply, logic analyzer, and similar diagnostic tools\nA solid grasp of electronics manufacturing and assembly defects (soldering, components, PCB fabrication) and how they manifest as test or field failures\nA structured, evidence-driven approach to problem solving and clear technical writing in English\nHow to stand out:\nExperience with space, aerospace, defense, automotive, or other high-reliability hardware\nFamiliarity with ECSS and/or IPC standards (e.g. IPC-A-610, IPC-6012, ECSS-Q-ST series)\nHands-on experience with microscopy\nWhy EnduroSat?\nFast-paced and delivery-focused culture\n\nWe work with well-defined quarterly based objectives, that allow us to fast-track the progression of our work and improve as we go\nTough engineering challenges & hard-core R&D\n\nYou will be able to work on unique space technology and build next-gen innovations, while mentored by world-recognized space experts\nConstant learning and progression\n\nOwn your personal growth by navigating through our career progression framework and educational programs\nChance to join our space educational program\n\nMeet international space experts and improve your knowledge and skillset with our hands-on educational program\nAt EnduroSat, we embrace diversity and strive to create an inclusive environment where everyone is treated with fairness and respect. We are committed to equal employment opportunities without discrimination against any employee or job applicant on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity. Additionally, this position is suitable for people with disabilities in accordance with the People with Disabilities National Regulation Act, ensuring accessibility and accommodation in the workplace.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4743,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Space & Aerospace","Satellite Communications","Satellite Manufacturing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-25T15:52:54Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":29,"reasons":["conf:4","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-26T05:45:44Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/endurosat-failure-analysis-engineer-endurosat","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/endurosat-failure-analysis-engineer-endurosat.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-26T05:45:44Z","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":7655,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-27T00:00:00Z"}},"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":55463},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=55463"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fendurosat-failure-analysis-engineer-endurosat"},{"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%2Fendurosat-failure-analysis-engineer-endurosat"},{"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%2Fendurosat-failure-analysis-engineer-endurosat"},{"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/endurosat-failure-analysis-engineer-endurosat\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fendurosat-failure-analysis-engineer-endurosat"}]}
