About talentedge – Pioneering the Future of Global Connectivity
talentedge was founded on the bold belief that humanity’s destiny lies among the stars. By leveraging cutting‑edge rocket and spacecraft technology, talentedge is building the world’s most advanced broadband internet system, delivering high‑speed, low‑latency connectivity to every corner of the planet. From remote research stations in Antarctica to bustling cruise ships, from teachers in isolated Amazon villages to digital nomads traveling the open road, talentedge’s network is transforming how people live, work, and communicate. As the constellation continues to expand, we are looking for visionary engineers who thrive on solving complex problems and who want to shape the next generation of customer‑facing hardware.
Role Overview
As an Electrical Test Development Engineer – Customer Hardware at talentedge, you will own the end‑to‑end development of automated test solutions that verify the reliability, performance, and safety of millions of consumer devices shipped worldwide. Your work will directly impact the quality of talentedge’s phased‑array antennas, Wi‑Fi routers, power supplies, and future product lines. You will collaborate with cross‑functional teams—including electrical, silicon, software, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers—to translate design intent into robust, repeatable test processes that scale from prototype to high‑volume production.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain automated test systems for high‑volume consumer phased‑array antennas, Wi‑Fi routers, power supplies, and upcoming hardware platforms.
- Select commercial‑off‑the‑shelf (COTS) instrumentation or create custom printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) to accurately measure signals, apply flight‑like loads, and power units under test.
- Write clean, modular automation software—primarily in Python—to interface with devices under test, test equipment, data acquisition systems, and production documentation tools.
- Partner closely with design engineers, manufacturing engineers, and test‑lab personnel to provide continuous feedback that drives design improvements, enhances product reliability, and boosts manufacturing yield.
- Challenge assumptions, simplify complex problems, and propose innovative solutions that reduce test time, cost, and complexity while maintaining rigorous quality standards.
- Document test procedures, results, and validation reports in a clear, concise manner that meets regulatory and internal compliance requirements.
- Support root‑cause analysis for field failures by reproducing issues in the lab and developing targeted test methods to isolate and resolve defects.
- Participate in design reviews, reliability reviews, and cross‑functional project meetings, representing the test development perspective.
Essential Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
- Minimum of 1 + year professional experience in hardware development, electronics test engineering, or a similar role.
- At least 1 + year of hands‑on programming experience, with a strong emphasis on Python; familiarity with C/C++ is a plus.
- Demonstrated ability to design, build, and troubleshoot electronic test hardware, including PCBAs and COTS instrumentation.
- Solid understanding of electrical schematics, signal integrity, and basic power electronics.
Preferred Skills & Experience
- Experience creating functional test plans and analyzing circuit behavior to validate design specifications.
- Proficiency in designing, fabricating, and debugging custom PCBAs for test applications.
- Hands‑on expertise with a wide range of test equipment: oscilloscopes, multimeters, electronic loads, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, vector signal generators, source‑measure units, etc.
- Knowledge of metrology principles, measurement uncertainty analysis, and sources of systematic error.
- Deep understanding of electronics reliability, failure mechanisms, and mitigation strategies.
- Experience with environmental testing protocols such as HALT/HASS, thermal cycling, vibration, and TVAC (Thermal‑Vacuum).
- Object‑oriented software development experience, including version control (Git) and automated testing frameworks.
- Strong communication skills and a proven track record of thriving in highly cross‑functional, fast‑paced environments.
Additional Requirements
- Willingness to work extended hours or weekends when mission‑critical deadlines demand rapid response.
- Eligibility to comply with U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR): applicant must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee, or otherwise able to obtain the necessary export authorizations.
