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. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Develop, write, and approve acceptance test procedures (ATPs) and qualification test plans for flight hardware and ground support equipment
- Own qualification approaches and acceptance testing methods, including test levels, margins, and verification methods, in coordination with responsible engineers and program leadership
- Establish and maintain configuration control of test procedures, test data, and as-run documentation in a way that scales with the company
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
- 4+ years of experience in a hands-on engineering role designing, fabricating, or operating test hardware, DAQ systems, or test rigs
- Direct experience testing spaceflight hardware through development, acceptance, and qualification testing

They say the best deployable is no deployable, but we believe large deployable mechanisms are the future for large infrastructure in space.

As a Senior Development Test Engineer at BRL, you will lead the design, build, and operation of the test infrastructure that proves out our hardware. You will own test strategy and execution from subassembly-level development testing through full-scale deployment testing of flight hardware. Your work will span the full development cycle: architecting data acquisition systems, leading the fabrication of test stands and fixtures, and defining the procedures and test campaigns that take a mechanism from a prototype to qualified and acceptance tested spaceflight hardware. You will also mentor other engineers and help shape how BRL tests as we scale.
