About the role

Xona 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 lead first-article vibration testing and thermal vacuum campaigns, develop fixtures and data acquisition systems, and work with structures, thermal, and systems teams to validate hardware for launch.

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.
