Electrical Engineer

Responsibilities

• Conduct comprehensive Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)/Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and electrostatic discharge (ESD) analysis, mitigation and test support for lunar surface hardware.
• Collaborate with the environments and science teams to translate models of the lunar charge and plasma environment into hardware-level ESD mitigation, EMI shielding, and grounding strategies.
• Perform full-lifecycle electrical design, including printed circuit board (PCB) design, schematic capture, layout, routing, harnessing, connector definition, and design for manufacturability (DFM).
• Select and evaluate electronic components and architectures suitable for extreme environments, focusing on radiation tolerance, deep thermal cycling, and vacuum operation.
• Develop electrical test plans and lead hands-on integration, debugging, and qualification of flight hardware in simulated lunar environments (e.g., dusty thermal vacuum chambers).

Required Qualifications

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 3+ years of experience in electrical hardware and system design, preferably for aerospace, robotics, or other high-reliability/extreme environment applications.
• Proven experience performing EMI/EMC and ESD analysis and mitigating issues at the board and system levels.
• Working knowledge of analog and digital circuit design, power electronics, and communication interfaces (e.g., SPI, I2C, CAN, RS-422).
• Experience defining electrical interfaces, grounding, harnessing, and connector approaches for complex hardware systems.
• Practical, hands-on experience in a lab environment bringing up boards, troubleshooting circuits, and utilizing test equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, etc.).
• Excellent verbal, written, and communication skills with a keen attention to detail.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, dynamic work environment.

Desired Qualifications

• M.S. in Electrical Engineering or a related technical subject area.
• Experience designing electrical systems for an in-space mission, preferably on a lunar or planetary mission with surface operations.
• Specific experience designing high-voltage systems or implementing hardware solutions for electrostatic charging and plasma interactions.
• Strong proficiency in ECAD software (e.g., Altium Designer) for schematic capture and PCB layout.
• Experience selecting and qualifying electrical components for vacuum, thermal cycling, radiation, or other harsh-environment applications.
• Familiarity with spacecraft grounding architectures, formal MIL-STD EMI/EMC testing procedures, and radiation effects on electronics (TID, SEE).

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, basic and supplemental life insurance, short and long-term disability, and other benefits.
• Paid Time Off: Flexible PTO policy with paid company holidays.
