Test Engineer

Toulouse E-Space France – Engineering, Manufacturing & Operations / Full-Time / On-Site 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 space-powered Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are fundamentally changing the design, economics, manufacturing, coverage limitations and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems. By building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system—with a unique antenna design, highly sustainable spacecraft system and low-cost, small portable end-user devices—we can extend global satellite coverage, capacity and connectivity beyond legacy space services to provide a new kind of IoT platform that lets users sense, track, connect and act on information gathered, anywhere. We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to saving space, protecting our planet and turning connectivity into actionable intelligence. Overview We are looking for a hands-on electrical test engineer to build and operate part of the test infrastructure that validates our spacecraft’s cutting-edge communications technologies. What matters is that you know how to handle and test critical hardware rigorously as well as write structured and Git-versioned Python code. What you will do: PCBA design verification and system integration testing: gather and propose requirements, elaborate test plans, assemble samples, automate, carry out measurement campaigns and document results. Build and own test stations: design based on requirements, develop test-related PCBs when needed, bring up, automate and maintain in running order. Python-based Git-versioned test automation: use/build instrument drivers, come up with unit tests (acquisition + processing + data logging), implement modular and parametric test sequencing, share code with other engineers. Run test campaigns: component-level validation, sub-system acceptance, flight hardware handling (mostly EM/EQM units). Document results, feed performance models, support design reviews. Carry out incoming inspection, first article checks, board-level debugging. Take part in AIT and qualification campaigns (environmental, vibration, radiation testing). What you bring: Bsc +5, Msc +3 in Electrical Engineering. Hands-on experience with PCBA and Components testing Familiarity with laboratory instruments: multimeters, power supplies, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, vector network analyzers. Solid experience with troubleshooting and root cause analysis (RCA). Strong Python skills, including the ability to develop well structured, documented, versioned and maintainable code. Experience building and operating test stations. Good PCB design skills related to testing needs (Altium preferred). Organized and proactive problem-solving personality that thrives in a hands-on, fast-paced startup environment. Bonus points: Experience with spacecrafts and space environment. Experience with environmental/qualification testing (radiation, thermal cycling, vacuum, vibration, electromagnetic compatibility). Experience with reliability/lifetime testing. Familiarity with common embedded communication interfaces (SPI, I²C, UART, CAN, R-232, RS-422, RS-485). Why E-Space is right for you: We want you to make the most of your journey at E-Space. That’s why we support and invest in the physical, emotional and financial well-being of our team members and their families. Some of what you can expect when working at E-Space: An opportunity to really make a difference Sustainability at our core Fair and honest workplace Innovative thinking is encouraged Competitive salaries Continuous learning and development Health and wellness care options Financial solutions for the future We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
