Development Test Engineer (Prism)
Northwood Space, Torrance, CA
The role
Northwood is looking for an engineer to build the development systems that ensure our hardware performs reliably from early prototypes through operations. You’ll own development test including hardware-in-the-loop testbeds, development RF testbeds or ranges/chambers, and customer integration milestones for modem test. This is a highly hands-on role that sits at the intersection of electronics, software, and systems integration — ideal for someone who enjoys turning ambiguous problems into robust, repeatable test capabilities that help develop world-class systems.
What you will do
- Lead integrated test development from concept through operations, including test strategy, requirements, and execution plans
- Run qualification and hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) campaigns
- Own the path to certification for EMI/EMC and other applicable standards (e.g., MIL-STD-461, FCC/CE), including pre-compliance testing, design-for-compliance input to the hardware team, test lab coordination, and certification documentation
