Electrical Engineering Lab Technician

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!

E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.

Own the end-to-end design, development, and manufacturing transition of spacecraft harnesses, cables, connectors, and interconnect solutions for a LEO satellite constellation. You will drive connector selection from custom and COTS sources, develop cable assemblies spanning STP to coax to fiber, and work directly with international vendors to move designs from prototype through volume production.

Key Responsibilities

Assemble and rework prototype PCBs including surface-mount, fine-pitch, and through-hole soldering. Build cable and wire-harness assemblies including crimping, routing, strain-relief, and connectorization. Operate electronic test equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers) for board-level testing. Support board bring-up activities by assisting engineers with lab setups, instrumentation, and measurements. Perform board modifications (cut-and-jump, component replacement, rework) per engineering change orders. Maintain lab equipment calibration schedules and ensure instrumentation is in working order. Follow ESD-safe handling procedures and maintain ESD-controlled workspaces. Create and maintain build documentation and assembly records. Support environmental test preparation and execution (thermal, vibration, shock). Assist with sub-contractor coordination for fabrication and assembly when required.
