Sr. Software Engineer

What You'll Do

• Lead Projects: Own the end-to-end testing strategy, planning, and execution for complex electrical systems.
• Design Test Systems: Architect custom test fixtures, test benches, or PCB-level interfaces to evaluate devices under test (DUT).
• Define Requirements and Scope Analyze the DUT (Device Under Test): Study product specifications, interfaces, and functional requirements. Identify Measurements: List all parameters, signals, and performance metrics that need testing, along with the required measurement accuracy and tolerance. Avoid over-designing accuracy relative to the product itself. Set Constraints & Budget: Establish the financial budget, development timeline, and operational footprint (e.g., rack-mount vs. benchtop).
• Design the Test Strategy and Architecture Determine Test Levels: Decide how testing breaks down into unit, integration, and system-level validation. Select Instrumentation: Choose analog and digital instruments (such as DMMs, oscilloscopes, or RF analyzers) based on bandwidth, resolution, and bus architectures like PXI, USB, or Ethernet. Plan Switching and Fixturing: Design mechanical interfaces, mass interconnect systems, or custom test fixtures to route signals safely between the DUT and your instruments.
• Plan Hardware and Software Abstraction Software Abstraction Layers: Use hardware and measurement abstraction layers so device-specific driver code is decoupled from your main test sequences.
• Performance Measurement & Validation Collect quantified test data, log failure modes, and build documentation packages
• Schematic & Fixture Design Draft test systems or harness layouts using tools like Visio or Excel. Ability to read, interpret, and trace the technical blueprints of a printed circuit board (PCB)
• Document Metadata Title, unique ID, version, revision history, and stakeholder sign-off approvals. Teamcenter Comprehensive Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software platform that acts as a single, centralized "source of truth" for managing a product's entire journey-from initial concept and design through manufacturing, service, and retirement Perforce Version control system designed to track file changes, manage source code, and handle massive binary assets at a large scale. Jira Versatile work tracking, issue-tracking, and project management tool Confluence Team workspace and knowledge management platform Theme / Problem Statement: Clearly define what is wrong or needs improvement.
• Process Improvement: Analyze large data sets, refine test coverage, and upgrade testing methodologies or compliance workflows.
• Mentor and Review: Guide junior engineers, review test plans, and perform code or design reviews.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work directly with design engineers, software developers, and external stakeholders to prevent systemic quality risks.

Must-Have Qualifications (Core)

• Requires a bachelor's degree in science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and minimum 5 years prior relevant experience, or an Advanced degree in a related field and minimum 3 years' experience.
• Experience in developing and integrating software applications using programming languages including but not limited to C, Perl, Python or LabView.
• Experience in utilizing integrated development environments and debugging tools to troubleshoot software implementation and ensure integrity of the software products.
• U.S. person (due to export-controlled work).

Nice-to-Have (We Will Train Where Needed)

• Familiarity with VxWorks.
• Experience with cPCI architecture.
• Experience controlling electronic loads, DC power supplies, MUX's, o-scopes and other measurement instruments.
• Understanding of conductor materials, shielding, connectors, and grounding techniques used in cable design.
• Experience with thermal chambers, vibration tables or vacuum chambers.

Growth & Development

• Structured onboarding with mentorship and exposure to multiple spacecraft programs.
• Targeted training on Moog-specific tools/architectures (Intercept Mozaix, EPS power switching) and advanced LabVIEW frameworks.
• Clear technical progression toward lead/architect EGSE roles and mentoring responsibilities.

Compensation & Benefits

• Annual bonus eligibility, profit sharing, 401(k) match, open/flexible PTO, and comprehensive medical/dental/vision.
• 9/80 schedule (every other Friday off) and relocation assistance available.
• Relocation and Sign-on bonus eligible

Work Authorization & Export Control

• This position requires access to U.S. export-controlled information. Applicants must be U.S. persons (U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident).
