Job Description

Please Note: To conform with the United States Government Space Technology Export Regulations, the applicant must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., conditional resident, asylee or refugee (protected individuals as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
At CesiumAstro, we are developers and pioneers of out-of-the-box communication systems for satellites, UAVs, launch vehicles, and other space and airborne platforms. We take pride in our dynamic and cross-functional work environment, which allows us to learn, develop, and engage across our organization. If you are looking for hands-on, interactive, and autonomous work, CesiumAstro is the place for you. We are actively seeking passionate, collaborative, energetic, and forward-thinking individuals to join our team.
We’re seeking a Senior Electronics Test Engineer I - Flying Probe to lead the development and optimization of automated PCBA test programs using our Seica Pilot VX system. This role is ideal for an engineer who blends circuit-level design expertise with hands-on manufacturing test experience and enjoys working across design, production, and quality teams.
You’ll be responsible for building and validating flying-probe test sequences, performing CAD/BOM imports, correlating measurements, and troubleshooting complex boards down to the component level. The position also involves improving test coverage, reducing false failures, and influencing design-for-test (DFT) practices across new product introductions.

JOB DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Develop and debug flying-probe test programs (continuity, isolation, RLC, powered, and functional tests).
  • Analyze test data, identify root causes, and implement yield improvements.
  • Collaborate with design engineers on test-point strategy and circuit accessibility.
  • Support component selection and perform schematic-level investigations to resolve failures.
  • Document and release test procedures and reports for production use.

JOB REQUIREMENTS AND MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

  • A Bachelor of Science (BS) or higher degree in Electrical Engineering or similar from an accredited university.
  • 4 years of experience in PCBA design, test, or manufacturing engineering.
  • Strong understanding of schematic capture, component selection, and circuit fundamentals (analog, digital, and power).
  • Hands-on experience with Seica, SPEA, Takaya, or similar flying-probe systems.
  • Proficiency in PCBA debug, measurement interpretation, and correlation.
  • Working knowledge of Kelvin measurement, guarding, isolation testing, and DFT principles.
  • Excellent communication, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

  • Aerospace industry experience.
  • Understanding of RF and mixed-signal hardware (e.g. amplifiers, filters, ADCs/DACs, antennas).
CesiumAstro considers several factors when extending an offer, including but not limited to, the role and associated responsibilities, a candidate’s work experience, education/training, and key skills.  Full-time employment offers include company stock options and a generous benefits package including health, dental, vision, HSA, FSA, life, disability and retirement plans.   CesiumAstro is an Equal Opportunity employer.  All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, protected Veteran Status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local law.
