Axiom Space fosters a work environment inclusive of all perspectives. We are the pioneers of commercial space, leading the transformation of low-Earth orbit into a global space marketplace. Our mission-driven team is seeking a bold and dynamic Senior Electrical Integration and Test Engineer II who is fueled by high accountability, execution horsepower, and driven to understand our world, science/technology, and life itself, for the benefit of all on Earth and beyond.

POSITION SUMMARY

Since Axiom Space is a very complex work environment, we are looking for a resilient, high-energy early career Senior Electrical Integration and Test Engineer to own the test and test system requirements for the Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AxEMU) Portable Life Support System (PLSS).

The AxEMU PLSS contains flight computers, radios, sensors, and network switches that enable communication and control during all aspects of a spacewalk. You will be responsible for creating the electrical and electronic components that manage commands, telemetry, and internal data flows, ensuring the suit operates reliably and meets mission objectives. You will support activities that will ensure that electrical systems — including hardware, software, and interfaces — are integrated, verified, and validated to meet performance, reliability, and operational requirements. Technical integration scope grows around that core as you learn the program: interface data checks, facility and test readiness, and review package preparation.

KEY DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES

• •Own the test requirements and test system requirements
• •Design and implement test cases (scripts, procedures, etc.)
• •Lead test system/test setup detailed design
• •Integrate with other spacesuit and test functions including thermal control, flight software, power distribution, test facilities, and test support equipment
• •Document verification results and create verification closure records
• •Communicate progress, status, and issues honestly and early, including when something is not working
• •Perform additional job duties as assigned

QUALIFICATIONS: To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. The requirements listed below are representative of the knowledge, skill, and/or ability required.

Education & Experience

• •Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent
• •Level 3: 5 or more years of hands-on experience in integration and test of complex hardware/software systems, with a focus on electrical or electronic components, which may include internship, co-op, or research experience
• •Ability to design and execute automated software testing strategies and develop test cases for integrated systems
• •Experience in translating functional and performance requirements into traceable test cases and verification methods
• •Experience with test automation frameworks (Python, Robot Framework, JUnit) and integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, Jenkins)
• •Experience with HIL/SIL environments, testbeds and emulation environments
• •Working knowledge of avionics, power electronics, high-speed and mixed-signal digital design, embedded systems sufficient to follow a technical discussion and to develop test requirements independently
• •Experience working in a lab setting and proficiency working oscilloscopes, multimeters, spectrum analyzers, VNAs, and related lab equipment
• •Ability to create test data sets, stimulus models, and perform data analysis
• •Clear technical writing, and the ability to produce verification documentation, status material, and review packages that other people can act on
• •Curiosity, initiative, and the willingness to ask a question early rather than deliver a wrong answer late
• •Comfort working in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment where the answer is often not yet written down

Preferred Qualifications

• •Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical, Computer Engineering, or related field
• •Experience in integration and test in spacecraft, aerospace, defense, or other high reliability programs
• •Exposure to interface control documents, requirements management tools such as Jama or DOORS, or configuration management practice
• •Exposure to laboratory or test operations, including equipment procurement, facility readiness, or test scheduling
• •Familiarity with space program standards such as MIL-STD-883K, SSP 30237, SSP 41000, NASA-HDBK-4008, or NASA-STD-3001
• •Engineer in Training certification, or progress toward professional certification
