Senior Crew Systems Electrical Engineer - Lunar Permanence Verified today

Role Overview

You will develop, execute, and integrate electrical and electromechanical components for crew interface hardware and habitability systems on Blue Moon landers. This role demands both systems-level thinking and hands-on execution: you will guide electrical architecture of crew systems components, define interfaces and control circuits, design circuit card assemblies, and own electrical components through build, test, and verification.

Responsibilities

• Develop avionics hardware (boards and integrated assemblies) with solid understanding of product life-cycle: concept, requirements definition, design, prototyping, verification (power-on, functional, acceptance, qualification testing) and release to production.
• Design analog and digital boards that interact with avionics systems including microcontrollers, sensors, electromechanical actuators, pumps, motors, and valves. Include analysis, schematic capture, layout, design review, test/verification and release.
• Collaborate with multiple engineering disciplines in integrated product teams throughout design, build, test, and verification of Crew Systems products.
• Support risk analyses, failure modes effects and criticality analyses (FMECA), design for test/manufacture/cost (DFx), and root-cause analysis of test discrepancies.

Minimum Qualifications

• B.S. in electrical engineering or related field (or equivalent practical experience)
• 7 or more years in high-reliability electronics (spacecraft, launch, aviation, defense or similar), including board- and/or box-level design through integration and test
• Demonstrated ability to produce release-quality artifacts under configuration control (schematics, BoMs, drawings, test procedures/reports)
• Hands-on lab bring-up/debug skills (oscilloscope, DMM, logic analyzer, power supplies, load emulation; failure isolation and re-test)
• Proficiency with ECAD/analysis tools (e.g., Altium, Mentor, KiCad, SPICE), signal analysis, grounding schemes and EMC-aware design fundamentals
• Strong cross-functional communication with systems, mechanical, software, and mission assurance/quality

Preferred Qualifications

• M.S. in electrical engineering or related field
• Experience with electromechanical and fluid components control and integration
• Experience with designing human machine interfaces
• Experience supporting TVAC/vibe/shock and EMI/EMC testing with troubleshooting and closure documentation
• Experience with harness design and assembly process considerations for spacecraft
• Familiarity with spacecraft command and data handling systems and protocols
• Experience with parts derating, traceability (CoC/CoQ), and basic radiation considerations (TID/SEE) appropriate to mission class
