Axiom Space fosters a work environment inclusive of all perspectives. We are the pioneers of commercial space, leading the transformation of low-Earth orbit into a global space marketplace. Our mission-driven team is seeking a bold and dynamic Senior Electrical Integration and Test Engineer II who is fueled by high accountability, execution horsepower, and driven to understand our world, science/technology, and life itself, for the benefit of all on Earth and beyond.
POSITION SUMMARY
Since Axiom Space is a very complex work environment, we are looking for a resilient, high-energy early career Senior Electrical Integration and Test Engineer to own the test and test system requirements for the Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AxEMU) Portable Life Support System (PLSS).
The AxEMU PLSS contains flight computers, radios, sensors, and network switches that enable communication and control during all aspects of a spacewalk. You will be responsible for creating the electrical and electronic components that manage commands, telemetry, and internal data flows, ensuring the suit operates reliably and meets mission objectives. You will support activities that will ensure that electrical systems — including hardware, software, and interfaces — are integrated, verified, and validated to meet performance, reliability, and operational requirements. Technical integration scope grows around that core as you learn the program: interface data checks, facility and test readiness, and review package preparation.
KEY DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES
Own the test requirements and test system requirements
Design and implement test cases (scripts, procedures, etc.)
Lead test system/test setup detailed design
Integrate with other spacesuit and test functions including thermal control, flight software, power distribution, test facilities, and test support equipment
Document verification results and create verification closure records
Communicate progress, status, and issues honestly and early, including when something is not working
Perform additional job duties as assigned
QUALIFICATIONS: To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily.

Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent
Level 3: 5 or more years of hands-on experience in integration and test of complex hardware/software systems, with a focus on electrical or electronic components, which may include internship, co-op, or research experience
Ability to design and execute automated software testing strategies and develop test cases for integrated systems
Experience in translating functional and performance requirements into traceable test cases and verification methods
Experience with test automation frameworks (Python, Robot Framework, JUnit) and integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, Jenkins)
Experience with HIL/SIL environments, testbeds and emulation environments
Working knowledge of avionics,…
