Beyond Reach Labs builds deployable solar arrays that deliver orders-of-magnitude more power per launch — bringing scalable energy to the places in space that need it most. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
At Beyond Reach Labs, we are designing and building the largest deployable structures ever flown to space. As an engineering-driven organization, you will be at the forefront of the company's key technology development. To make this possible, every mechanism, structure, and actuator we develop needs to be proven out on the ground before it ever sees flight.
What they're looking for
- Develop and write acceptance test procedures (ATPs) and qualification test plans for flight hardware and ground support equipment
- Define qualification approaches and acceptance testing methods in coordination with responsible engineers
- Maintain configuration control of test procedures, test data, and as-run documentation
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
- 1+ years of experience in a hands-on engineering role fabricating or operating test hardware, DAQ systems, or test rigs
- Experience developing test procedures, including acceptance test or qualification test documentation
More about this role
They say the best deployable is no deployable, but we believe large deployable mechanisms are the future for large infrastructure in space.

As a Development Test Engineer at BRL, you will design, build, and operate the test infrastructure that proves out our hardware. You will be responsible for subassembly-level development testing through full-scale deployment testing of flight hardware. Your work will span the full development cycle; standing up data acquisition systems, fabricating test stands and fixtures, writing procedures and performing testing that take a mechanism from a prototype to qualified and acceptance tested spaceflight hardware.
Design, fabricate, and instrument test rigs and stands for deployable mechanisms, structural test articles, and motor/actuator hardware.
