Vast Avionics System Test Operations Engineer responsible for developing and operating automated test systems for artificial-gravity human-rated space stations. Leads test methodology and troubleshooting efforts.
Responsibilities
Work with Responsible Engineers and System owners across the organization to capture test design criteria for avionics test systems
Lead test methodology discussions with key stakeholders (e.g. Flight Software, Mission Operations) to develop test procedures for Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL / HIL) test assets
Develop system level test cases, implement them on test systems and validate their outputs with internal stakeholders
Day-to-day planning of system test operations, including
Perform troubleshooting and debug of avionics test systems
Perform checkout testing of system test assets and support sign-off reviews
Develop automation tools (e.g. python, ground software scripts) to increase efficiency and quality of test planning, test execution, data analysis, and verification tracking
Serve as first point of contact for anomaly resolution: documentation, driving root cause analysis, disposition, and prevent recurrence activities
Support Mission Operator training activities which utilize system test HITL assets
Support anomaly resolution activities for issues encountered on-orbit
Support design of Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL / HIL) test assets to provide system level validation of Haven-1 avionics, including closed-loop simulation of relevant test cases
Work with subject matter experts to support development, implementation, and verification of interfaces to co-simulation strategies for Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) applications
