Responsibilities
- Execute satellite-level verification and validation (V&V) campaigns, focusing on functional software operations and system health
- Lead the integration of flight software with satellite subsystems (avionics, power, RF, thermal), ensuring seamless interoperability
- Develop and maintain automated test scripts and frameworks to enhance efficiency, repeatability, and coverage across functional and environmental test campaigns
- Act as primary technical contact for software-related integration issues, performing root cause analysis and coordinating with software engineering to resolve anomalies
- Support production readiness and design reviews (PRR, CDR) by providing feedback on software testability, hardware-in-the-loop requirements, and system configuration
- Contribute to and improve AIT documentation including software test procedures, integration plans, and configuration records
- Interface with Global AIT, Software Engineering, and Mission Operations teams to ensure alignment on product standards and lessons learned
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives in integration methods, test efficiency, and build reliability
Requirements
Must haves:
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in integration, testing, or production of complex systems -- preferably in aerospace or high-reliability hardware industries
- Strong proficiency in Python scripting and automation for test development and data analysis
- Proven experience in multidisciplinary engineering environments with a focus on system-level validation
- Deep technical understanding of satellite architectures including command and data handling (C&DH), avionics, or communication subsystems
- Familiarity with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, environmental testing (EMC, vibration, thermal), and configuration management
- Systems engineering mindset -- able to anticipate integration risks and connect software logic, hardware interfaces, and mission operations
- Proficient English (written and spoken) for cross-functional collaboration
Nice to haves:
- Experience with Atlassian Cloud tools (Jira, Confluence)
- Track record of enabling design-for-testability (DFT) and design-for-manufacturing (DFM)
- Lean and Six Sigma experience
- Experience writing or improving Python test scripts beyond routine execution
Conditions
- Permanent contract
- On-site working model in Valencia, Spain
- Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required)
- Benefits are designed to support health and wellbeing, and offerings vary by location
