About the role

Xona Space Systems, Inc. in Burlingame, CA, is seeking a Spacecraft Test Engineer to own mechanical and environmental testing across the spacecraft development lifecycle, from early R&D through first-article qualification. You will design tests, build fixtures, lead vibration and TVAC campaigns, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate test results into design improvements and flight hardware readiness.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
