Astrolab manufactures and designs rovers that will transform the way we live and work in space. Backed by Space Capital.

About the role

As an Avionics Engineer at Astrolab, you will serve as the Responsible Engineer for avionics units on our planetary rovers, owning hardware from requirements definition through qualification, integration, and operation on the lunar surface. Ownership at Astrolab spans make and buy alike: for some units, the right answer is selecting a COTS component or partnering with an external vendor on a custom product, and for others it is designing the board in-house.

More about this role

Astrolab is The Lunar Operations Company. We design and build the systems and hardware the lunar economy will come to depend on — rovers, power, and data networks for sustained operations on the Moon. We are focused on the problems that must be solved before the next chapter of human exploration can scale. The Moon does not forgive untested assumptions. The people who work here know that, and they wouldn't have it any other way.
