Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it. OUR MISSION True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority.

S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground. OUR VALUES Be the offset.

We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity. What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.

It’s the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together. YOUR MISSION We are seeking a highly skilled Developmental Test Technician with deep expertise in fluid systems to support hands-on test operations at our test site facilities.

This is a test site-based role requiring regular travel between our Long Beach headquarters and remote test locations. You will be on the floor every day—assembling complex fluid systems, configuring test rigs, operating ground support equipment, and executing test campaigns for propulsion and spacecraft hardware. Reporting to the Developmental Test Technician Lead, you'll work alongside propulsion and fluids test engineers to deliver safe, precise, high-quality test operations in a fast-paced, build-it-from-scratch startup environment.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Perform hands-on assembly, integration, and configuration of fluid system test articles, test rigs, and ground support equipment for propulsion and fluids test campaigns. Execute fluid system test operations including propellant loading, pressurization, leak checks, proof tests, and functional/performance tests under the direction of test engineers. Fabricate, modify, and repair fluid system hardware using precision hand tools, power tools, and tube bending equipment.

Work with various fittings including NPT, AN, MS, Swagelok, VCR, and medium-pressure cone fittings. Operate, maintain, and troubleshoot fluid GSE including fill/drain equipment, pressure regulators, purge systems, cryogenic systems, and test instrumentation.

Requirements

. Perform hardware inspections and documentation, flagging non-conformances and ensuring all materials meet cleanliness standards including clean-for-oxygen-service

Maintain tooling, GSE, and consumables readiness including inventory tracking and calibration management. Support anomaly investigations through hands-on observations, hardware teardown, and documentation of as-found conditions. Travel regularly between Long Beach headquarters and test sites to support test campaigns and maintain test site readiness.

for fluid and pressure system operations. Willingness to travel/support between sites including test sites to achieve company milestones. Physical ability to lift up to 50 lbs, work in confined spaces, and perform extended standing, bending, and reaching tasks.

S. Citizenship required due to government contracts.

QUALIFICATIONS

Technical degree, certification, vocational training, or equivalent hands-on experience (5+ years) in fluid systems, propulsion systems, pipefitting, or mechanical trades. Extensive hands-on experience with fluid system assembly, high-pressure testing, leak testing, and pressure proof operations. Demonstrated expertise working with hazardous fluid systems including cryogenics, hypergolics, and high-pressure systems ( 3,000 psi).

Proficiency reading and working from engineering drawings, P IDs, and work instructions. Strong mechanical aptitude with experience using hand tools, power tools, tube benders, and precision measurement tools.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

8+ years of aerospace or defense test operations experience with propulsion or high-performance fluid systems.
