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 Senior Electrical Engineer to support the design, development, and maturation of complex electrical hardware for spaceflight and lunar surface systems. This role encompasses end‑to‑end development of electrical hardware—from schematic capture 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 work hands on to solve challenging hardware problems in a fast‑paced startup environment. Take the #NextLeap with Lunar Outpost and work on the MAPP rover, leading the charge in autonomous commercial exploration on the lunar surface!

Key Responsibilities:

Perform schematic capture, PCB layout, board bring‑up, and verification on development and spaceflight hardware Design, simulate, and review mixed‑signal circuits incorporating digital logic, analog interfaces, sensing, control, and on‑board power conversion Design board‑level power circuitry, including DC/DC converters, point‑of‑load regulation, power distribution, sequencing, and protection Support high‑speed electrical designs (e.g., LVDS, Ethernet, SpaceWire, PCIe, or equivalent interfaces) with attention to signal integrity Support cable harness design and documentation 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 Support and maintain a high quality ECAD component library Participate in test campaigns including functional, environmental, EMI/EMC, and system level testing

Required Qualifications:

Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field Minimum of 3 years of professional experience developing electrical hardware for aerospace, spaceflight, or other safety‑critical systems Hands‑on experience designing electrical systems, including schematic design and signal integrity aware layout considerations Good foundation in analog and digital circuit design, including power regulation, communications, sensing, and control Experience designing with data interfaces such as SPI, I²C, UART, RS-422, RS-485, CAN, Ethernet, USB, and SpaceWire Experience with board‑level power design, including DC/DC conversion, point‑of‑load regulation, power sequencing, and protection circuits Hands-on experience supporting board bring‑up, integration, and troubleshooting Ability to independently work on 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 Proficiency with Altium Designer for schematic capture, PCB layout coordination, and design release Experience with FPGA‑ or processor‑based systems and embedded interfaces Experience with EMI/EMC design and mitigation Familiarity with aerospace or NASA standards, review processes, and documentation expectations Experience supporting NASA programs such as Artemis, ISS, Commercial Crew, or comparable missions Familiarity with high‑reliability PCB design practices for harsh environments (thermal cycling, vibration, vacuum)

Compensation & Benefits:

Compensation level and base salary are competitively structured and thoughtfully determined based on factors such as relevant skills, experience, education, and the scope of the role.

Comprehensive health coverage:

Medical, dental, and vision benefits, with 70% of premiums covered by the employer Paid time off: Three (3) weeks per year of vacation Retirement plan: Up to 4% employer match on 401(k) contributions Paid holidays: 11 company-recognized holidays Parental leave Educational reimbursement opportunities to support company objectives, continued learning, and career development Lunar Outpost Inc. is an equal opportunity employer.
