## About the role

This is the founding Assembly, Integration & Test Engineer position for the satellites vertical. The team has two openings available at L2, Senior, or Staff level. You will not be inheriting a factory, a set of procedures, or a test stand — you will be building them. You own how a Vast satellite gets physically built, integrated, and proven flightworthy, from the first development unit through a production line that has to turn out flight hardware at rate.

## What they're looking for

- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline
- 8+ years of experience in test engineering, integration, or another hands-on hardware engineering role
- Hands-on experience with spacecraft or complex flight hardware integration
- Experience with environmental testing, including thermal vacuum and random vibration
- Experience developing and executing test plans and procedures from scratch, and writing the technical documentation that supports them (procedures, test reports, requirements, discrepancy reports)
- Proficiency with at least one of C, C++, Python, or MATLAB for test automation, data reduction, or GSE control
