Test Engineer (Aerospace)

Location: Onsite in Phoenix, Arizona, United States

Salary: $75,000–$120,000 annually

Company

hirify.global develops aerospace systems and electrical ground support equipment for spacecraft avionics and other mission-critical applications.

What you will do

• Design and build electrical ground support equipment (EGSE), including COTS instrument setups, custom test boxes, panels, cabling, and harnesses.
• Develop LabVIEW interfaces and VIs for instrument control and telemetry, plus Python or Perl automation scripts and embedded test code integrations.
• Integrate test systems with flight-like units, embedded single-board computers, analog and digital I/O, command and data handling systems, and power-switching use cases.
• Create integration and test plans, environmental test plans, acceptance test procedures, schematics, and bills of materials under configuration control.
• Execute functional and environmental test campaigns, troubleshoot anomalies, identify root causes, and implement corrective actions.
• Collaborate with systems, firmware, manufacturing test, and program management teams while mentoring junior engineers.

Requirements

• 2–5 years of aerospace or defense test engineering experience with hands-on ownership of EGSE hardware, software, and documentation.
• Proficiency in at least one of LabVIEW, C, Python, or Perl; experience with production-grade instrument control, embedded systems, or test automation.
• Experience selecting and integrating COTS instruments such as power supplies, electronic loads, data acquisition systems, and oscilloscopes.
• Experience designing custom test fixtures, cable assemblies, schematics, and parts lists.
• Ability to write clear acceptance test procedures and integration and test plans, debug analog and digital interfaces, read schematics, and interpret telemetry.
• This position requires access to U.S. export-controlled information.

Nice to have

• Familiarity with VxWorks, cPCI single-board computers, command and data handling architectures, or electrical power system backplanes.
• Experience with VHDL/FPGA interface testing, cable and harness design, EMI/EMC practices, or environmental testing.
• Experience with Intercept Mozaix or similar schematic, bill-of-materials, and document-control tools.

Culture & Benefits

• Structured onboarding, mentorship, and exposure to multiple spacecraft programs.
• Training on hirify.global-specific tools, power architectures, and advanced LabVIEW frameworks.
• Technical progression toward lead or architect EGSE roles and mentoring responsibilities.
• Potential annual bonuses, employee stock purchase plan, open paid time off, and region-specific benefits.
