Job Zusammenfassung
In deiner Rolle entwickelst du umfassende Testkampagnen und -verfahren zur Überprüfung komplexer Systeme, koordinierst technische Abläufe und führst Analysen sowie Beurteilungen zur Sicherstellung der Missionsbereitschaft durch.
Deine Rolle im Team
- The System Integration & Test (SI&T) Mission Test Lead is a hands-on technical leadership role responsible for developing and delivering mission-test capabilities across a complex system-of-systems environment spanning spacecraft, ground systems, user terminals, communications networks, software platforms, operational processes, and supporting infrastructure.
- Working within the SI&T function, you will develop campaign plans, test procedures, readiness criteria, technical analyses, and evidence packages to verify mission objectives and demonstrate operational readiness.
- Leading through technical expertise and influence, you will coordinate engineering, operations, suppliers, and program stakeholders to deliver successful mission-test campaigns.
- The role supports ongoing Pathfinder activities while preparing future campaigns, leading rehearsals, readiness reviews, delegated mission-test execution, anomaly and retest coordination, and evidence closeout.
- While providing mission-test leadership during execution, spacecraft command authority and flight operations decisions remain with the designated flight authorities and operational organizations.
- Lead system integration, testing, verification, and validation work across hardware, software, networks, operations, laboratories, suppliers, and distributed teams.
- Turn incomplete or conflicting inputs into clear, practical technical plans with visible assumptions, dependencies, risks, and evidence needs.
- Apply discipline across requirements, interfaces, configuration control, readiness, anomalies, regression, traceability, and evidence.
- Produce clear, decision-ready technical recommendations and communicate effectively with engineering, program, supplier, and executive stakeholders.
- Define and lead System Integration & Test work while respecting retained authorities in product, facility, safety, flight, requirements, procurement, and acceptance decisions.
- Lead the development, planning, and execution of mission-test campaigns, translating mission objectives into executable event sequences, procedures, readiness criteria, and evidence requirements.
- Develop campaign strategies, technical solutions, and test approaches supporting concurrent Pathfinder and future mission-test activities.
- Define test success criteria, including entry and exit criteria, pass/fail measures, data collection requirements, abort conditions, and recovery approaches.
- Lead campaign rehearsals, technical reviews, and readiness assessments to ensure stakeholders, systems, procedures, and environments are prepared for execution.
- Coordinate anomaly investigation, retest planning, and technical resolution activities, providing recommendations based on evidence and test outcomes.
- Lead delegated mission-test execution activities in accordance with approved procedures and governance frameworks, while respecting retained flight and spacecraft command authorities.
- Maintain end-to-end test traceability, ensuring evidence, decisions, actions, and outcomes are captured, reviewed, and closed out appropriately.
