About the Role

Reflect Orbital believes that talent is talent regardless of experience. If you seek an opportunity to solve hard problems and advance humanity, Reflect Orbital can offer that experience.

The Electrical Test Engineering team at Reflect is responsible for validating that the avionics we've built will work in Space. This involves designing systems and writing automated software for production and qualification testing.

Ideal candidates for this role will be comfortable facing challenges with no known solution, willing to be hands-on individual contributors, and able to work full-time and in person at our Hawthorne, CA office. We encourage all motivated and excellent candidates to apply regardless of the specific set of requirements you meet.

Responsibilities

  • Design test systems for avionics PCBAs and other components

  • Write test software for these test systems to enable automated acceptance testing of PCBAs for high production rate, high reliability avionics systems

  • Design acceptance test protocols and ensure proper test coverage. In short, make sure boards are built correctly before we fly them to space.

  • Prototype and iterate rapidly

Ideal Qualifications

  • Experience designing test system for electrical and avionics systems in spaceflight applications.

  • Experience writing python, ideally exercising common hardware test peripherals like power supplies, electronic loads, DAQs, etc

  • You're capable of incredibly scrappy solutions, but also have experience building & shipping complex and high quality solutions when the problem requires it

  • A careful eye and dedication to ensuring electronics are tested properly before we send them to space.

  • You're both capable of working highly independently, but you know when to seek experience

Even if you don’t meet 100% of the above qualifications, we are likely still interested in hearing from you. Hiring exceptional individuals is our #1 priority, and we believe that exceptional people often have highly unusual backgrounds.

We are also interested in carving out unique roles for unconventional people that we are excited about working with.
