About the Role

You will own the day-to-day operation of Orbital's next-generation Direct-to-Chip test rigs, running tests, troubleshooting hardware, and transforming raw rig output into actionable data for the engineering team. This includes the final design of our tray-level test rig, component selection, build and commissioning, and subsequent work on a full rack-scale validation unit.

Responsibilities

• Lead day-to-day operation of tray and rack level engineering test and validation rigs
• Plan, set up, and execute test campaigns against engineering requirements
• Troubleshoot rig faults and drive them to resolution
• Carry out preliminary review of test data for quality and validity
• Feed clean, well-structured data into analysis pipelines
• Report findings back to the engineering team and flag anomalies early
• Propose next steps to drive system efficiency
• Contribute to the final design of tray and rack level test rigs
• Size, identify, and procure key rig components, managing suppliers and lead times
• Build and commission rigs, including leak checks and function testing
• Install and wire thermocouples, sensors, and signal instrumentation
• Support mechanical and electrical builds, including control panels, under the guidance of mechanical and electrical leads
• Verify sensor calibration and signal integrity before test

Requirements

• Experience operating test rigs or lab hardware, ideally in a thermal, fluids, or electronics cooling context
• Confident with data, able to spot bad readings, sanity-check results, and structure output for downstream analysis
• Comfortable with low-voltage wiring, thermocouples, and sensor signals
• Practical troubleshooter who works the problem on the rig rather than from a desk
• Able to size and specify components and see procurement through to delivery
• Hands-on capability with 3D printers, CNC, or workshop tooling is a genuine bonus

Benefits

• Competitive salary and equity package
• Flexible and generous paid time off
• Excellent health, dental, and vision insurance plan
• Regular company offsites
