Are you passionate about shaping the future of humanity’s presence in space? Lunar Outpost, an industry leader in space robotics and planetary vehicles, invites you to join our team! Lunar Outpost is dedicated to creating a permanent presence in space, while also driving positive 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 end‑to‑end ownership of electrical hardware—from architecture and schematic design through layout, test, and integration—with a balanced emphasis across power, digital, analog, and high‑speed 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 cross‑disciplinary engineering teams, you’ll bring deep technical expertise and leadership to solve challenging hardware problems in a fast‑paced startup environment.

Take the #NextLeap with Lunar Outpost and work on the Pegasus LTV, which will carry NASA astronauts farther than they've 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, bring‑up, and verification
Design and review mixed‑signal circuits incorporating digital logic, analog interfaces, sensing, control, and on‑board power conversion
Design board‑level power architectures, including DC/DC converters, point‑of‑load regulation, power distribution, sequencing, and protection
Develop and support high‑speed 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
Support component selection (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 bring‑up, debugging, and root‑cause analysis using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, etc.)
Plan and support verification and test campaigns including functional, environmental, EMI/EMC, and system‑level testing
Prepare and review technical documentation supporting design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR), qualification, and flight readiness
Serve as a technical mentor to junior engineers, establishing best practices for electrical design and documentation
Interface with NASA customers, partners, and vendors as a technical authority for electrical hardware

Required Qualifications:

Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field
Minimum of 8 years of professional experience developing electrical hardware for aerospace, spaceflight, or other safety‑critical systems
Demonstrated experience with spaceflight hardware design, qualification, or flight support
Hands‑on experience designing high‑speed electrical systems, including schematic design and layout‑aware signal integrity considerations
Experience designing radiation‑tolerant or space‑rated electronics
Strong foundation in analog and digital circuit design, including power regulation, data interfaces, sensing, and control
Demonstrated experience with board‑level power design, including DC/DC conversion, point‑of‑load regulation, power sequencing, and protection circuits
Experience supporting board bring‑up, integration, and troubleshooting in laboratory and vehicle environments
Proficiency with Altium Designer for schematic capture, PCB layout coordination, and design release
Familiarity with aerospace or NASA standards, review processes, and documentation expectations
Ability to independently own complex hardware designs and make sound engineering tradeoffs
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Self‑motivated, organized, and comfortable operating in a fast‑paced hardware development environment
U.S. Person *

Preferred Qualifications:

Master of Science (MS) in Electrical Engineering
Experience supporting NASA programs such as Artemis, ISS, Commercial Crew, or comparable missions
