YOUR MISSION 

True Anomaly is looking for you, a creative and experienced engineer, to support the development of custom hardware / software for the hardware-in-the-loop / software-in-the-loop (HIL/SIL) testbed for our spacecraft. In this role, you’ll be responsible for verifying the spacecraft-level functionality and supporting on-orbit anomaly resolution. You’ll be on a team that is responsible for the ownership of the development, configuration control, and maintenance of the HIL/SIL hardware and software. Bring your innovative ideas for a "factory of the future" and apply them in a fast-paced production environment with same-year space flight results. 

RESPONSIBILITIES 

• Design EGSE racks to support the HIL/SIL systems. 

• Support the hardware and software test infrastructure. 

• Maintain and upgrade HIL/SIL systems to support evolving mission requirements and technology advancements.  

• Analyze and troubleshoot issues identified during HIL/SIL testing, collaborating with engineering teams to resolve them efficiently. 

• Analyze data sets and correlate with test and flight data. 

• Meet with stakeholders to gather design objectives and requirements. 

• Configuration management of the hardware and software configurations of the HIL/SIL.  

QUALIFICATIONS 

• Bachelor’s degree in software, electrical, aerospace, or controls engineering.  

• 3-5+ years of professional experience with Hardware-in-the-Loop and Component Testing.  

• Work in a collaborative manner with other engineering disciplines such as GNC, Propulsions, Mechanical, Thermal, Test, Flight Software and lines of business as appropriate. 

• Demonstrated ability to work autonomously with little input on requirements or management oversight. 

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills. 

• Release EGSE Drawings for test articles.  

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS 

• Experience with spacecraft-specific HIL/SIL challenges, such as GNC system validation, fault-tolerant design testing, and closed-loop control verification.  

• Proven track record of innovation in test automation, simulation fidelity, or integration efficiency.  

• Experience working in a fast-paced, startup environment or a similarly dynamic setting.  

COMPENSATION 

• California Base Salary: $105,000-$140,000 

• Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave 

Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job related knowledge and skills, education, location and experience.
