• Introductory proficiency with Linux (command-line navigation, simple scripting, Linux-based test tools).
• Fundamental understanding of test engineering processes-test plans, procedures, execution-gained through coursework, labs, or short-term projects.
• Familiarity with electrical ground-support equipment used to power/monitor spacecraft subsystems.
• Experience with automation-framework tools (preferred).
• Demonstrated initiative and the ability to work independently while always following approved procedures and coordinating with the broader team.
