Job Zusammenfassung
In diesem Job entwickelst du EGSE-Hardware und -Softwarearchitekturen, führst Testautomatisierungen durch und integrierst Systeme für die Raumfahrtprüfungen, während du eng mit interdisziplinären Teams zusammenarbeitest.
Job Technologien
Deine Rolle im Team
- Design, develop, and maintain Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) sub-system and system level testing.
- Define and implement EGSE hardware and software architectures tailored to specific test scenarios, AIT campaigns, and HiL environments.
- Develop LabVIEW-based applications, for both desktop and real-time platforms (e.g., PXI, cRIO), supporting checkout, functional, and pre-launch test operations.
- Integrate and configure NI VeriStand as part of real-time test setups, including simulation of spacecraft interfaces and umbilical/harness verification.
- Design and support power, signal conditioning, and telemetry/telecommand interfaces between EGSE and the Unit/Spacecraft Under Test.
- Support RF test activities for the TT&C chain, including uplink telecommand injection, downlink telemetry reception, and coordination of conducted/radiated test setups with the RF/comms subsystem team.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (AIT, systems, RF, electrical, and FSW) to ensure seamless integration of EGSE hardware and software into functional test platforms.
- Support test execution, data acquisition, logging, and automated reporting during integration, functional, and environmental test campaigns.
- Create and maintain technical documentation, including EGSE architecture specifications, ICDs, code documentation, and user/operator guides.
- Provide support for debugging, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement of EGSE and test platforms, including on-site support during AIT/launch campaigns.
- Develop a robust and scalable EGSE software framework supporting reuse and modularity across projects.
- Define test automation workflows.
- Design and maintain EGSE-to-EUT interface hardware (harnesses, breakout boxes, simulators, load banks) with correct isolation, protection, and safety interlocks.
- Own cable and harness design for EGSE-to-EUT connections, including pinout definition, connector selection, shielding/grounding strategy, and drawing generation.
- Coordinate closely with electrical, RF, and systems engineers to ensure requirements traceability, interface compatibility, and test coverage.
- Drive the continuous evolution of EGSE/HiL infrastructure, with an emphasis on performance, reliability, and maintainability.
- Ensure all solutions meet space-grade quality, safety, and cleanliness standards (e.g., ESD, contamination control), aligned with project and range safety requirements.
Unsere Erwartungen an dich
Ausbildung
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
Qualifikationen
- Proficiency in LabVIEW, including desktop and real-time application development.
- Familiarity with NI TestStand for test automation and execution management.
- Solid understanding of EGSE/test platform architectures, hardware/software integration, and real-time systems.
- Working knowledge of ICD development and requirements traceability between EGSE and flight hardware.
- Ability to influence and shape ICDs and connector/pinout definitions upstream, rather than solely implementing to a fixed interface - working with electrical/systems engineers early in the design cycle to ensure EGSE testability and harness manufacturability.
- Familiarity with RF test equipment and techniques (signal generators, spectrum/vector signal analyzers, RF switches, calibrated attenuators) for TT&C uplink/downlink stimulation and monitoring.
- Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills, with a structured and methodical approach, including at hardware bring-up and integration level.
- Ability to write and integrate Python scripts to extend test workflows or support automation tasks.
- Familiarity with test/measurement hardware (oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, electronic loads) and their programmatic control (e.g., VISA/SCPI).
- Understanding of EMC/ESD-safe practices for handling flight and flight-like hardware.
- Fluent in English, with excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Proven ability to work independently, drive initiatives end-to-end, and deliver in a high-paced environment.
- Willingness to travel/support on-site AIT or launch site campaigns is a plus.
Erfahrung
- Hands-on experience with NI VeriStand in real-time test environments.
- Experience with spacecraft electrical interfaces: power distribution/simulation, discrete/analog telemetry, telecommand encoding, and standard space communication protocols (e.g., CAN, RS422/485, MIL-STD-1553, SpaceWire, Ethernet).
- Experience with cable/harness design, including connector selection, pinout/wiring diagrams, shielding and grounding practices, and generation of harness drawings (e.g., in ECAD tools or draw.io/Visio equivalents).
- Experience working with LabVIEW FPGA is appreciated.
Unser Angebot
- Relocation assistance is provided for those willing to relocate including visa sponsorship where applicable.
- All offers are contingent upon the successful completion of a background check, which will be subject to the country, role, and project you applied for.

The Exploration Company
Die Exploration Company wurde 2021 als deutsch-französisches Raumfahrt-Startup in Gauting bei München gegründet. Das Unternehmen arbeitet an dem modularen und wiederverwendbaren Raumfahrzeug Nyx, das für Missionen zu neuen Raumstationen in der Erd- und Mondumlaufbahn entwickelt wird. Es ist das erste europäische Raumfahrtunternehmen, das ein Space Act Agreement mit der NASA unterzeichnet hat.
