Role Overview

The Lead Test Platform Engineer will be the technical owner of the end-to-end Test Platform environment used for spacecraft integration verification validation and manufacturing.

This is a senior hands-on technical leadership role responsible for the architecture development integration deployment operation and continuous improvement of spacecraft Test Stations Test Benches SIL/HIL environments and associated EGSE/SCOE.

The role requires someone who can operate across hardware software Linux infrastructure networking instrumentation spacecraft interfaces Electrical/RF GSE and test automation while providing technical direction to multidisciplinary engineering teams.

A key focus will be moving from program-specific test setups toward reusable configurable reliable maintainable and scalable Test Platforms that can support increasing spacecraft production.

The Lead Test Platform Engineer will work closely with Systems Engineering AIT Software Avionics Electrical RF/Payload Design Engineering D2M Industrial Operations Infrastructure and Program teams.

Must Haves:
  • Significant engineering experience owning complex Test Stations SIL/HIL platforms integration environments or similar multidisciplinary test systems.
  • Demonstrated experience taking Test Platforms from requirements and architecture through build integration commissioning deployment and operational support.
  • Strong hands-on hardware/software/system integration experience.
  • Strong practical experience with Linux environments networking compute infrastructure and system troubleshooting.
  • Strong Python and scripting capability.
  • Practical experience with Git/GitLab CI/CD containers configuration management and automated deployment.
  • Experience integrating hardware software instrumentation embedded devices and communication interfaces within test environments.
  • Ability to troubleshoot complex failures spanning hardware software networking instrumentation and system interfaces.
  • Experience leading architecture/design reviews and root-cause investigations.
  • Demonstrated technical leadership across multidisciplinary engineering teams.
  • Strong systems-level thinking with the ability to remain technically hands-on.
  • Strong cross-functional communication and engineering judgement.
  • Ability to establish technical ownership engineering standards and scalable approaches rather than relying on one-off solutions.
Nice to Haves:
  • Experience within spacecraft satellite aerospace or similarly complex hardware development environments.
  • Experience supporting AIT spacecraft integration verification or manufacturing campaigns.
  • Hands-on exposure to Electrical EGSE/SCOE and/or RF EGSE/SCOE.
  • Experience designing or operating spacecraft electrical RF communication power or signal interfaces.
  • Experience with instrumentation and data-acquisition systems.
  • Experience working with embedded hardware or embedded devices within test environments.
  • Experience developing or improving automated test execution monitoring diagnostics and validation systems.
  • Experience standardizing Test Platforms across multiple programs or products.
  • Experience improving platform reliability observability backup/recovery maintenance calibration or lifecycle management.
  • Experience developing reusable platform architectures while balancing program-specific requirements with longer-term scalability.
  • Previous experience mentoring engineers and building technical capability within a growing engineering team.
Ideal Profile
The ideal candidate is a systems-level engineer and technical leader who is still comfortable getting hands-on. They can move between spacecraft interfaces hardware software infrastructure networking and operations bring structure to ambiguous technical problems and create Test Platforms that become increasingly predictable reproducible maintainable and scalable as the organization grows.
Orbitworks mission is to make space simple for organizations that want to deploy physical and virtual missions to space. Building on Loft Orbitals heritage Orbitworks will be the first commercial firm in the United Arab Emirates to mass-manufacture satellites. Orbitworks aims to manufacture tens of satellites annually and operates out of a 50000-square-foot facility in Abu Dhabi.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process such as reviewing applications analyzing resumes or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
