Wanna join the adventure?

As we embark on designing, producing, and operating cutting-edge satellites, we are seeking a skilled and versatile Test Infrastructure Engineer to design, build, and maintain the systems that power our hardware and software verification and validation. You will own the development of test benches and test stations from concept through delivery and ongoing support — enabling our teams to integrate, validate, and deliver satellite systems at scale.

This is a unique opportunity to shape the backbone of our testing operations in a fast-paced, high-tech environment where every improvement you make directly accelerates our mission. This role requires someone who is highly technical, detail-oriented, and thrives on solving complex, cross-disciplinary challenges all while bringing a mindset of standardization, automation, and continuous improvement to every project.
  • Test Bench & Test Station Development
  • Design, build, and maintain software-in-the-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test benches to support satellite hardware and software validation.
  • Own updates, evolution, and lifecycle management of test infrastructure to support current and future programs.
  • Maintain and improve test stations, tools, and equipment for integration and test (I&T) campaigns.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Work closely with Systems, AIT, Software, and Product teams from design to execution, ensuring test infrastructure meets program objectives.
  • Support AIT campaigns with test setup, troubleshooting, and automation improvements.
  • Process & Tooling Improvement
  • Refine and standardize tools, processes, and interfaces involved in test infrastructure.
  • Automate repetitive tasks and improve dynamicity in test workflows.
  • Contribute to company-level process definitions to meet Orbitworks’ scaling goals.
  • Stakeholder Interaction
  • Act as the point of contact for test infrastructure needs, working closely with engineering teams to prioritize and deliver solutions.
  • Identify pain points and propose actionable improvements to increase efficiency and reliability.
  • 5+ years of experience working with Linux and networking fundamentals.
  • Hands-on experience with embedded hardware (Engineering Models, Flight Models).
  • Proven track record in system validation and platform integration.
  • Strong debugging skills for Linux system management (systemd, networkd, file systems) and HIL setups.
  • Solid understanding of VLANs, OSI layers, packet tracing, TCP/UDP protocols, and network diagnostics tools (tcpdump, Wireshark).
  • Proficient in Python and scripting languages (e.g., bash).
  • Skilled with software development practices, version control (git, GitLab), and containerization (Docker, pods).
  • Experience with continuous integration tools and cloud-based automation.
  • Familiarity with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), and procurement processes.
  • Deep understanding of embedded and space protocols and standards.
  • Experience collaborating with mechanical and electrical engineering teams.
  • Knowledge of harness design and build.
  • Additional programming languages (C, C++, C#, Lua, YAML, Cue).
  • Experience setting up automated HIL test benches.
  • Previous work with space systems.
