Moon Hotel -> The Intergalactic Construction Company of Earth. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
Your circuit board will wake up on the lunar surface next year. You’ll design the electronics and flight software that bring our 2027 lunar payload to life: commanding the ISRU brick fabrication process, inflating a habitat bladder, and getting data back to Earth.
What they're looking for
- Experience designing mixed-signal PCBs from schematic through layout, fabrication, and bring-up (full-cycle)
- RS-485 / serial protocol design: you can write a protocol ICD and define baud rate, framing, CRC, and fault handling from scratch
- Flight software in C/C++ on microcontrollers: state machines, FDIR, watchdog logic, closed-loop control
- Familiarity with spaceflight-adjacent standards for wiring, grounding, and EMI/EMC
- Power electronics: 28 Vdc conditioning, inrush limiting, motor driver integration, and power budget analysis
- Harness design: MIL-STD-38999 connectors, EMI/EMC compliance, thermal-rated wire and insulation (Kapton/PTFE), shielding continuity

- Design the avionics stack: controller boards, power distribution, sensor interfaces and valve actuation electronics.
- Write the flight software for payload sequencing, closed-loop process control, and fault management.
- Own the electrical interface to the CLPS lander (power, data, commanding, telemetry formatting).
- Select and qualify components for the lunar radiation and thermal environment.
- Design and build harnessing, including a lunar umbilical cord exposed on the Moon for our deployable payload.
