We will provide resources from space to power a clean and sustainable economy on Earth and in space.\nWe are looking for a Doer who wants to join our early-stage team and accelerate humanity’s progress toward an off-world future. Our engineering team combines expert knowledge of geological sciences, mechanical engineering, automation, systems engineering, modeling and simulation, and advanced fabrication to build the infrastructure that will create an in-space economy. To join our small team, you must be agile, willing to learn, and able to take on multiple roles as needed.\nWe are seeking an electrical engineer to design hardware for operation on the lunar surface. This role will translate environmental, mission and operational constraints into practical designs for actuation, power, interfaces, and dust-mitigation hardware, and support component selection, integration, and test approaches through development and qualification. This position would be full-time at our headquarters in Seattle, WA or our Interlune Research Lab in Houston, TX.\nApplicants from all industries are welcome, with particular emphasis in complex, multi-disciplinary system development. Familiarity with and prior experience in the space, agriculture, construction, or mining industry are valuable but not required.\nResponsibilities:\nDrive the development, testing, qualification and system integration of high-voltage electronics for applications on the lunar surface.\nPerform full-lifecycle electrical design, including printed circuit board (PCB) design, schematic capture, layout, routing, harnessing, connector definition, and design for manufacturability (DFM).\nConduct comprehensive Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) / Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and electrostatic discharge (ESD) analysis, mitigation and test support for lunar surface hardware.\nCollaborate 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.\nSelect and evaluate electronic components and architectures suitable for extreme environments, focusing on radiation tolerance, thermal cycling, and vacuum operation.\nDevelop electrical test plans and lead hands-on integration, debugging, and qualification of flight hardware in simulated lunar environments (e.g., dusty thermal vacuum chambers).\nRequired Qualifications:\nB.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.\n5+ years of experience in electrical hardware and system design, preferably for aerospace, robotics, or other high-reliability/extreme environment applications.\nStrong proficiency in ECAD software (e.g., Altium Designer) for schematic capture and PCB layout.\nStrong proficiency in circuit simulation and analysis for high-voltage electronic switching topologies\nExperience selecting electrical components for vacuum, thermal cycling, radiation, or other harsh-environment applications.\nProven experience performing EMI/EMC and ESD analysis and mitigating issues at the board and system levels.\nWorking knowledge of analog and digital circuit design, power electronics, and communication interfaces (e.g., SPI, I2C, CAN, RS-422).\nExperience defining electrical interfaces, grounding, harnessing, and connector approaches for complex hardware systems.\nPractical, hands-on experience in a lab environment bringing up boards, troubleshooting circuits, and utilizing test equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, etc.).\nExcellent verbal, written, and communication skills with a keen attention to detail.\nAbility to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, dynamic work environment.\nDesired Qualifications:\nM.S. in Electrical Engineering or a related technical subject area.\nExperience designing electrical systems for an in-space mission, preferably on a lunar or planetary mission with surface operations.\nSpecific experience designing high-voltage (1 kV to 5kV) systems or implementing hardware solutions for electrostatic charging and plasma interactions.\nExperience qualifying electrical components for vacuum, thermal cycling, radiation, or other harsh-environment applications.\nFamiliarity with spacecraft grounding architectures, formal MIL-STD EMI/EMC testing procedures, and radiation effects on electronics (TID, SEE).\nExport Control Regulations\nTo conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicants for employment at Interlune must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e. current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.\nInterlune is seeking to hire highly motivated and forward-thinking professionals who are interested in focusing on creating our off-world future.
