Job Description & How to Apply Below
Your circuit board will wake up on the lunar surface next year.
You’ll design the electronics and flight software that bring our 2027 lunar payload to life: commanding the ISRU brick fabrication process, inflating a habitat bladder, and getting data back to Earth.
What You’ll Do- Design the avionics stack: controller boards, power distribution, sensor interfaces, heater drivers, and valve actuation electronics.
- Write the flight software for autonomous payload sequencing, closed-loop process control, and fault management.
- Own the electrical interface to the CLPS lander (power, data, commanding, telemetry formatting).
- Select and qualify components for the lunar radiation and thermal environment.
- Build and maintain the ground support equipment and test harnesses for payload integration.
- Experience designing mixed-signal PCBs from schematic through layout, fabrication, and bring-up.
- Embedded software: C/C++ on microcontrollers, real-time systems, hardware-in-the-loop testing.
- Familiarity with spaceflight-adjacent standards for wiring, grounding, and EMI/EMC.
- Comfort operating across the hardware/software boundary: you can debug a board with an oscilloscope and a JTAG probe.
- You’re using the latest AI tools every day (i.e., Opus 4.6/GPT 5.4, in appropriate harness) to massively increase your output and do things you otherwise couldn’t.
- You’ve built flight hardware before.
