Description

Junior Hardware Test Engineer Digantara is a leading Space Surveillance and Intelligence company focused on ensuring orbital safety and sustainability. With expertise in space-based detection, tracking, identification, and monitoring, Digantara provides comprehensive domain awareness across regimes, allowing end users to have actionable intelligence on a single platform. At the core of its infrastructure lies a sophisticated integration of hardware and software capabilities aligned with the key principles of situational awareness: perception (data collection), comprehension (data processing), and prediction (analytics). This holistic approach empowers Digantara to monitor all Resident Space Objects (RSOs) in orbit, fostering comprehensive domain awareness. Digantara is seeking a detail‑oriented Junior Hardware Test Engineer to own board bring- up, hardware qualification and production test execution for satellite payload electronics. The candidate is also responsible to develop Python-based test automation and maintaining lab/GSE readiness to improve test coverage, robustness, and production workflows. Ideal Candidate: Someone with 1 to 3 years of hands-on experience in end-to-end hardware testing and automation for Satellite payload/bus/launch vehicle avionics or high-reliability embedded systems. Responsibilities Carryout acceptance and qualification testing campaigns for satellite payload electronics and generate test reports, qualification documents, and non-conformance reports. Develop and maintain Python-based automated test sequences and data-logging pipelines for board bring-up, functional, regression, and environmental tests. Collaborate with systems, hardware and firmware design teams to define integrated test sequences, checklists, automation, and lab workflows and capture lessons learned, and drive continuous improvements to procedures. Maintain electronics lab and Ground Support Equipment infrastructure (equipment configuration, calibration schedules, cabling, ESD-safe workstations) to ensure continuous readiness for qualification and production. Perform basic PCB assembly, soldering, rework, and test fixture builds to support prototyping and board-level repairs. Required Qualifications Bachelor’s/Master's degree in Electronics /Electrical/Instrumentation, or a relavent technical discipline. 1 to 3 years(maximum) of hands-on experience in electronics hardware testing, validation, or production in satellite/launch vehicle avionics, or other high-reliability domains preferred.
