Staff Electrical Hardware Engineer
? Golden, Colorado
We’re looking for a Staff Electrical Hardware Engineer to lead the design and development of complex electrical hardware for lunar and spaceflight systems in a fast-paced startup environment.
This is a hands-on, high-ownership role focused on taking hardware from concept through flight. You’ll work across power electronics, mixed-signal design, high-speed interfaces, board bring-up, integration, testing, and system-level architecture while collaborating closely with mechanical, software, systems, thermal, and avionics teams.
What You’ll Be Working On
- Spaceflight and lunar vehicle electrical hardware
- Mixed-signal board design and power architectures
- High-speed interfaces (LVDS, Ethernet, SpaceWire, PCIe, etc.)
- Board bring-up, debugging, integration, and test
- EMI/EMC, environmental, and system-level verification
- Space-rated and radiation-tolerant electronics
- Hardware trade studies and architecture decisions
- Supporting NASA design reviews and flight readiness activities
Ideal Background
- 8+ years developing aerospace, spaceflight, or safety-critical electrical hardware
- Strong experience with analog/digital circuit design and board-level power systems
- Experience with high-speed electrical systems and signal integrity considerations
- Hands-on hardware integration and troubleshooting experience
- Proficiency with Altium Designer
- Familiarity with NASA/aerospace hardware standards and environments
- Comfortable owning hardware designs independently in a fast-moving engineering environment
Nice to Have
- Artemis, ISS, Commercial Crew, or related NASA program experience
- FPGA or processor-based embedded systems experience
- High-voltage / high-power electronics
- EMI/EMC mitigation experience
- Startup or NewSpace background
This is an opportunity to join a highly mission-driven team working at the forefront of lunar exploration, autonomy, and space robotics.
