impacts here on Earth.
Lunar Outpost is seeking a Staff Electrical Hardware Engineer to lead the design, development, and maturation of complex electrical hardware for spaceflight and lunar surface systems. This role focuses on endtoend ownership of electrical hardwarefrom architecture and schematic design through layout, test, and integrationwith a balanced emphasis across power, digital, analog, and highspeed interfaces.
Your work will not only contribute to pioneering lunar missions, but also to technologies with the potential to benefit humanity on Earth. Collaborating with crossdisciplinary engineering teams, youll bring deep technical expertise and leadership to solve challenging hardware problems in a fastpaced startup environment. Take the #NextLeap with Lunar Outpost and work on the Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV), which will carry NASA astronauts farther than theyve ever been before on the lunar surface!
Key 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, bringup, and verification Design and review mixedsignal circuits incorporating digital logic, analog interfaces, sensing, control, and onboard power conversion Design boardlevel power architectures, including DC/DC converters, pointofload regulation, power distribution, sequencing, and protection Develop and support highspeed electrical designs (e.g., LVDS,
Ethernet,SpaceWire,
PCIe, or equivalent interfaces) with attention to signal integrity Collaborate closely with mechanical, thermal, software, harnessing, and systems engineering to ensure robust hardware integration Supportcomponentselection(processors,
FPGAs, memories, connectors, converters) with consideration for spaceflight environments Guide hardware trade studies and architecture decisions based on performance, reliability, risk, cost, and schedule Participate in prototype builds, board bringup, debugging, and rootcause analysis using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, etc.) Plan and support verification and test campaigns including functional, environmental, EMI/EMC, and systemlevel testing Prepare and review technical documentation supporting design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR), qualification, and flight readiness Serve as a technical mentor to junior
engineers,establishingbest
