-
This is more than a job, it’s a mission
We are making space universally accessible and redefining what’s possible.
-
We get things done
We take ownership of what we do, and we work hard to make a difference.
-
We are fearless
Transparency is our only way forward. We dare to address and resolve issues head-on.
-

What is the role?
As the Test Engineering lead for EnduroSat's new Los Angeles AIT facility, you will build the capability that verifies every unit before it ships, from functional and RF test to environmental testing. You will stay hands-on in the lab while building the team, the test strategy and the equipment. Environmental testing will start at outside labs, so you will manage those campaigns while we plan in-house capability. We will consider candidates at Manager, Sr. Manager or Director level, as long as they stay hands-on.
Some of your daily tasks will include:
- Defining the test strategy for satellites and subsystems, from unit-level functional tests to system-level environmental campaigns.
- Setting up the test lab, equipment and ground support equipment.
- Hiring, onboarding and leading test engineers and ENV technicians.
- Planning and managing environmental test campaigns at outside labs (vibration, shock, TVAC, thermal cycling, EMI/EMC).
- Working hands-on in the lab on test setup, execution and troubleshooting.
- Reviewing test results and signing off on hardware readiness.
What do we look for?
- Bachelor's degree in electrical, aerospace, mechanical or a related engineering field
- 8+ years of integration or test engineering experience on spacecraft or flight hardware, including 2+ years leading engineers or technicians
- Hands-on experience with environmental testing (vibration, shock, TVAC) and functional testing
- Experience writing test plans, procedures and reports
- Experience working with outside test labs
- Based in the Los Angeles area or willing to relocate to Southern California
- US citizen or US permanent resident
How to Stand Out:
- Experience with smallsat or cubesat test campaigns
- Knowledge of GSFC-STD-7000 (GEVS) or SMC-S-016 test standards
- RF test experience
- Test automation experience (Python, LabVIEW)
- Experience building a new test lab
- Experience with Atlassian tools (Jira/Confluence)

We work with well-defined quarterly-based objectives that allow us to fast-track the progression of our work and improve as we go.
-

-

-
Chance to join our space educational program

What do we offer?
- Health insurance coverage
- Matching 401k plan
- Generous team performance-based bonus
- Collaboration with EnduroSat offices in Europe
Salary range: $150,000 - $220,000 per year. The state of California requires listing salary details. The salary will likely be within this range although it may differ based on experience level or other factors.
This role is based in Los Angeles, California, where we are building a high-performing and fast-paced team. The position will be primarily on-site and in person at the office, with occasional travel to our headquarters in Europe.
At EnduroSat, we embrace diversity and strive to create an inclusive environment where everyone is treated with fairness and respect. We are committed to equal employment opportunities without discrimination against any employee or job applicant on the basis of race, colour, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

- ISTQB certification or equivalent recognized testing credential
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or a related technical field
Tips for Your Test Manager Job Search
Tailor your resume to testing frameworks
Generic QA experience won't stand out. Call out the specific frameworks you've led teams on, like Selenium, Cypress, or TestRail, and show how you built or scaled them, not just used them.
Quantify defect reduction and release outcomes
Hiring managers want to see impact. Replace vague bullets with specific outcomes: how much you reduced escaped defects, shortened release cycles, or improved test coverage ratios under your leadership.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists test manager openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly to each listing without digging through multiple sites.
Target postings that match your testing domain
A test manager background in embedded systems reads very differently than one in SaaS web products. Filter for openings that align with your domain so your resume's context maps directly to what the team needs.
Prepare for test strategy and process interviews
Expect interviewers to ask you to design a test plan from scratch or walk through how you'd handle a critical defect found on release day. Rehearse these scenarios with your own past examples before you get to the screen.
Negotiate scope alongside compensation
When you receive an offer, clarify team size, tooling budget, and whether you own test automation strategy or inherit a fixed one. These factors affect your day-to-day authority as much as the title does.
Test Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most test managers?
The companies hiring the most test managers right now include Northrop Grumman, Prometric, and Apple, with the largest share of openings in California, Texas, and Utah, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Enterprise software, healthcare IT, and financial services firms consistently account for the highest volume of postings.
How many test manager jobs are remote?
About 42% of test manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting strong demand for distributed QA leadership. Roles focused on automation strategy and tool governance tend to be more remote-friendly, while positions that require hands-on coordination with hardware or on-site release teams are more likely to require in-person presence.
How do you become a test manager?
Start by building several years of hands-on QA experience across manual and automated testing, then move into a lead role where you own a test plan end-to-end. Earning an ISTQB certification signals formal readiness. From there, demonstrate that you can manage people, communicate risk to stakeholders, and align testing strategy with release goals, as those are the skills that separate managers from senior individual contributors.
Can you get hired as a test manager with limited experience?
You can move into a test manager role without an extensive management history if you can show you've led a testing effort from strategy through execution. Document any time you defined a test plan, coordinated testers, or drove a release decision. Smaller organizations and startups are more likely to promote strong senior QA engineers into manager roles than large enterprises requiring a formal management background.
What does the test manager interview process look like?
Most test manager interview processes begin with a recruiter screen, followed by a technical interview where you'll walk through your testing methodology and tool experience. Expect at least one live scenario round asking you to build a test strategy or triage a production defect under time pressure. Final rounds typically include a panel with engineering leads or a director, focused on how you communicate risk, manage team velocity, and align QA with delivery timelines.
Where can I find and apply to test manager jobs?
You can find and apply to test manager jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that align with your domain and experience level, then apply directly to each listing that fits. All openings are sourced from employers actively hiring, so the roles you see reflect real current demand.
