Full Job Description

ROLE MISSION

The mission of the Testing Engineer is to establish, develop, and own COPV testing capabilities at the Texas plant. The role is responsible for building the processes, procedures, and methods required to test large-scale Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessels (COPVs) to spaceflight standards — ensuring that no COPV leaves Texas without full confidence in its integrity and performance.

Expected Outcomes

A successful Testing Engineer will:

Take full engineering ownership of COPV testing operations in Texas
Build the processes and procedures necessary to test large-scale COPVs safely and reliably
Develop and mature testing methods that meet spaceflight qualification requirements
Support production and operations with engineering know-how and hands-on troubleshooting
Establish deep in-house knowledge and experience in COPV testing within the Texas team

Key Responsibilities

Serve as the engineer of record for all COPV testing activities in Texas
Design, document, and continuously improve testing processes and procedures for large-scale COPVs
Develop and validate testing methods appropriate for spaceflight qualification
Operate and maintain testing equipment, ensuring accuracy, calibration, and readiness
Support production and operations teams with engineering guidance and troubleshooting
Conduct and document inspections, tests, and evaluations in accordance with applicable standards
Identify and mitigate risks associated with testing activities and test results
Build and transfer COPV testing knowledge within the Texas team
Coordinate with the Team in Germany to bring the process expertise to Texas
Coordinate with engineering, quality, and operations teams to ensure testing activities support production goals
Contribute to the development of technical documentation, test plans, and reports

COMPETENCIES

Technical Know-How

Degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent technical field (required)
Experience with engineering development processes and technical documentation (required)
Proficiency with testing equipment and instrumentation (required)
Familiarity with aerospace qualification requirements and standards (nice to have)
Visual inspection training or qualification (nice to have)
Experience with risk assessment and mitigation methods (nice to have)

Leadership and Professional Skills

Hands-on approach — equally comfortable at the test bench and at the desk
Comfortable operating under uncertainty and making sound decisions with incomplete information
Solution-oriented troubleshooter who drives issues through to resolution
Organised and structured, but action-oriented and able to move quickly when needed
Thrives in an environment where processes are still being built, not just followed

REQUIRES QUALIFICATIONS

Education and Experience

Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent technical field
Several years of hands-on experience in engineering testing, preferably in aerospace or pressure vessel applications (nice to have)
Proven experience developing technical documentation, test plans, or engineering procedures
Experience working in structured, safety-critical production or test environments

Language Skills

English is required
Spanish or German are a plus

Work Model

On-site work is mandatory
Willingness to work both in the lab/test area and at the desk on a daily basis
Our current facility is located in Lockhart, Texas (near Austin/San Antonio)
In mid-2026, Blackwave will relocate to a new site in the Port San Antonio aerospace hub
