Software & Simulation Test Design Engineer

Test Framework Architecture: Design and evolve a modular, global test framework supporting unit, integration, system, and simulation-based testing. Define reusable abstractions, APIs, and libraries for consistent implementation, including fault injection scenarios such as sensor dropouts, thruster misfires, and communication delays.

Simulation & Test Infrastructure: Architect scalable simulation environments and virtual testbeds with seamless HIL/SIL integration, covering orbital mechanics, space environments (vacuum, radiation, thermal), and spacecraft dynamics including attitude control and propulsion.

Global Standardization & Governance Establish: common testing strategies, naming conventions, data formats, and reporting standards across regions. Define quality metrics, coverage standards, and quality gates; lead architecture and test design reviews to enforce best practices.

Automation & CI/CD: Build and standardize automated test pipelines within CI/CD workflows, ensuring tests are reliable, reproducible, and scalable across distributed environments.

Performance & Mission Scenario Testing: Ensure test systems support large-scale simulations, high data throughput, and long-duration runs — including thousands of simulated missions across launch windows, environmental variations, and anomaly scenarios. Optimize for speed, determinism, and debuggability.

Cross-Functional Leadership: Collaborate with global engineering teams to drive adoption of the test framework. Contribute to resource estimation, schedule planning, and risk identification. Embody ispace values — Diversity, Integrity, Respect, Collaboration, and Accountability — and stay current on emerging tools and methodologies.
