Über diese Stelle
Here at The Exploration Company, we are building spacecrafts for humanity.
We are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refueled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run.
We are looking for a hands-on and rigorous AIT Test Technician (proto) to support the preparation, integration, execution, and reporting of environmental and functional test activities for spacecraft sub-systems and hardware.
This role is critical to ensuring that all testing activities are executed safely, accurately, and according to procedures and quality standards. The ideal candidate is meticulous, structured, technically skilled, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced aerospace development environment.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
ENVIRONMENTAL TEST PREPARATION & EXECUTION
Support the setup, integration, and execution of environmental tests including:
Vibration testing
Shock testing
Thermal Vacuum (TVAC) testing
Ancillary testing activities
Support the preparation and execution of experimental campaigns for the qualification of prototypes of components developed internally, such as valves
Prepare hardware, tooling, instrumentation, and Ground Support Equipment (GSE) for test campaigns taking ownership of their readiness.
Perform assembly and integration activities of prototypes. Provide feedback to the engineering team relative to the lessons learnt during the assembly execution.
Install thermocouples, accelerometers, harnessing, and instrumentation according to test procedures and engineering requirements.
Operate environmental test equipment including vibration shaker, shock test facility, TVAC facility, and associated monitoring systems.
Perform pre-test and post-test inspections of test setups.
Support testing at external test facilities.
