Job summary

Lunar Outpost invites engineers to join our team as a Staff Electrical Hardware Engineer, leading end-to-end electrical hardware design for spaceflight and lunar surface systems. You will own hardware from concept through flight, coordinating with cross-functional teams and ensuring robust integration for challenging space environments.

Ideal candidates bring 8+ years in aerospace hardware, strong power, analog/digital design, and experience with high-speed interfaces. This role requires a U.S.

Qualifications

• BS in Electrical Engineering or closely related field.
• Minimum 8 years of professional experience developing electrical hardware for aerospace or safety-critical systems.
• Experience with spaceflight hardware design, qualification, or flight support.
• Proficiency with board-level power design and signal integrity considerations.
• Familiarity with aerospace standards and NASA review processes.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design and development of electrical hardware for spaceflight systems, prototypes, and ground support equipment.
• Own electrical hardware from concept through flight, including requirements, schematics, PCB layout oversight, bring-up, and verification.
• Design and review mixed-signal circuits incorporating digital logic, analog interfaces, sensing, control, and on-board power conversion.
• Develop and support high-speed electrical designs (LVDS, Ethernet, SpaceWire, PCIe) with attention to signal integrity.
• Collaborate with mechanical, thermal, software, harnessing, and systems engineering for robust hardware integration.
• Support component selection for spaceflight environments (processors, FPGAs, memories, connectors).
• Guide hardware trade studies and architecture decisions based on performance, reliability, risk, cost, and schedule.
• Prototype builds, board bring-up, debugging, and root-cause analysis using lab equipment.
• Plan and support verification and test campaigns including functional and environmental testing.
• Prepare and review documentation for design reviews, qualification, and flight readiness.
• Mentor junior engineers and establish best practices for electrical design and documentation.
