Additional Information

Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run. To support this ambitious goal, we are seeking a Senior Test Application HW/SW Developer to join our Electrical Functional Test Team in Munich . You will be responsible for the design, implementation, and integration of automated test software applications used to validate electronics at various levels - from individual boards to full subsystems - across our verification and validation campaigns. You will play a key role in shaping the test automation framework used on our Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) platforms, working in close collaboration with electrical, avionics, and system engineers.
