Lead end-to-end development of a lunar lander orbiter system, defining GNC requirements, coordinating subsystem interfaces, managing algorithm performance, and supporting mission operations.
About this role
The role leads spacecraft avionics hardware development for lunar landers, satellites and future space systems, owning products through the full lifecycle and providing hands-on technical direction. Work spans requirements definition, design, manufacturing, integration, verification, qualification and flight support. The engineer makes design and trade-off decisions, resolves issues, and leads gate reviews by coordinating inputs, preparing review and compliance material, presenting technical content and closing actions. Interfaces include flight software, communications, power, propulsion, GNC, payload and systems engineering, with project support for planning, risk, procurement and suppliers. Candidates need a university degree in Electrical Engineering and 7+ years developing electronic hardware in aerospace, space, defense, automotive, industrial or other high-reliability systems. Experience must cover requirements, design, verification, testing, qualification and production support. They must also demonstrate technical leadership, ownership of complex hardware development and effective collaboration across engineering disciplines.
