Avionics / Electronics Engineer

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/

What we’re looking for:

• 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
