# Founding Lunar Avionics / Electronics Engineer

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 you’ll do: 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. What we’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 standar
