Blue Canyon Technologies, RTX's small satellite manufacturer and mission services provider, is solving some of the toughest challenges in space. Our components and bus platforms have completed missions ranging from very-low Earth orbits to lunar and interplanetary journeys at a fraction of the cost of traditional space systems. We support premier defense, commercial and civil organizations including the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory, NASA, MIT Lincoln Lab, the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, University of Colorado and more. Join our innovative and dynamic company as we build, test and operate the small spacecraft of the future.

Position Purpose: The Sr. Electrical Test Engineer will engage in the Electrical and Systems engineering disciplines to develop requirements and architecture to design a test methodology for flight hardware. The engineer will select test equipment, developing LabView or other software for low level hardware interfacing as well as test executive scripting language like COSMOS to interface to the test equipment to provide physical, electrical, and functional interfaces to the DUT for full test coverage based on requirements. The engineer will design the data lake produced through test execution and the tools to mine the data lake for production, design, and test engineering needs. Specific interfacing hardware design is the responsibility of the Test Engineer.
