The posting

Wanna join the adventure?

As a Test Engineer at Loft Orbital, you’ll design, plan, and run the test campaigns that prove our space hardware is ready for the real thing. You’ll get your hands on everything from individual subsystems to fully integrated spacecraft, putting them through environmental, functional, and automated testing. And when our satellites launch, your work doesn’t stop at the cleanroom door: you’ll periodically join our on-orbit team to help commission and operate live missions.

You’ll be at the center of the action, working side by side with design, manufacturing, and software teams to build test plans, execute environmental and functional procedures and scripts, and dig into the data to confirm every satellite and component meets its mission requirements. Along the way, you’ll build expertise across a wide range of complex aerospace hardware and software, on a fast-moving team that values collaboration and technical excellence.

About this role:

  • Support the design, development, and execution of test procedures, setups, and instrumentation for spacecraft and subsystem-level testing.
  • Participate in the development and implementation of automated and manual test equipment, fixtures, and/or ground support equipment (GSE).
  • Execute and document environmental and functional tests, including vibration, thermal, thermal vacuum (TVAC), and EMI/EMC.
  • Collect, analyze, and interpret test data; generate reports and document results, flags, and non-conformances.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure tests align with mission requirements, schedules, and quality standards.
  • Contribute to process improvement initiatives for test documentation, configuration control, and data management.

Must Haves:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Aerospace, or Systems Engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • 2–5 years of experience in aerospace or related hardware testing.
  • Working knowledge of test methods and environmental test standards (e.g., GEVS, MIL-STD).
  • Ability to interpret engineering drawings, schematics, and test specifications.
  • Familiarity with data acquisition systems, instrumentation, and control systems.
  • Experience with scripting or automation tools (e.g., Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW).
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  • Comfortable working hands-on with hardware and in test lab environments.
  • Willingness to support off-hours or weekend testing when required.

Nice to Haves:

  • Experience with Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE).
  • Exposure to requirements verification and validation processes.
  • Experience supporting satellite or aerospace test campaigns, including environmental testing.
  • Experience with high-performance spacecraft cameras/optical testing.
  • Familiarity with data management tools or configuration control systems.

Some of Our Awesome Benefits:

  • 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance option for employees and dependents
  • Flexible Spending (FSA) and Health Savings (HSA) Accounts offered with an employer contribution to the HSA
  • 100% employer paid Life, AD&D, Short-Term, and Long-Term Disability insurance
  • Flexible Time Off policy for vacation and sick leave, and 12 paid holidays
  • 401(k) plan and equity options
  • Daily catered lunches and snacks
  • International exposure to our team in France
  • Fully paid parental leave; 14 weeks for primary caregiver and 10 weeks for secondary caregiver
  • Carrot Fertility provides comprehensive, inclusive fertility healthcare and family-forming benefits with financial support
  • Off-sites and many social events and celebrations
  • Relocation assistance when applicable

*Research shows that while men apply to jobs where they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other underrepresented people tend to only apply when they meet 100% of the qualifications. At Loft, we value respectful debate and people who aren’t afraid to challenge assumptions. We strongly encourage you to apply, even if you don’t check all the boxes.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
