Jobs at Astrolab, Inc.

Lead and scale a build reliability team to define inspection procedures, implement process improvements across design and manufacturing, author test plans and training, contain non-conforming hardware, collaborate with design for DFM, and drive corrective actions to ensure quality and reliability at increasing production volumes.

Full-cycle technical recruiter partnering with hiring managers to source, screen, and hire candidates across engineering-adjacent and corporate functions; manage ATS records, provide market insights, maintain candidate experience, and ensure compliance with employment and OFCCP guidelines.

Lead an interdisciplinary vehicle engineering team through design, production support, and mission operations. Define vehicle architecture, manage schedule/budget/resources, perform mechanical design and FEA, support design reviews (DCR/PDR/CDR), ensure quality/AS9100 compliance, conduct audits, and mentor direct reports.

Lead production and launch-site operations for lunar rover hardware: supervise machining, assembly, integration, and compliance with AS9100 and safety. Coordinate cross-functional teams, implement Lean/6S, develop training, track KPIs, manage budgets and readiness for launch campaigns.

Design, analyze, develop, tune, verify, and validate rover Guidance, Navigation, and Control algorithms. Select and characterize sensors, build and run GNC simulations and HIL testbeds, support field testing, convert prototypes into flight software, and collaborate across avionics, software, mobility, and integration teams.

Proactively source and engage technical and business candidates using advanced sourcing techniques, build and maintain talent pipelines, partner with recruiters and hiring managers, conduct initial outreach and screening, maintain ATS records, and improve sourcing processes in a fast-moving startup environment.

Create, maintain, and control mission operations documentation (procedures, flight rules, contingency guides, handbooks, training materials). Collaborate with engineers, flight controllers, and program teams to ensure documents align with system design, verification data, and mission requirements. Support rehearsals, simulations, configuration management, and continuous process improvements.

Hands-on internship supporting fabrication, assembly, testing, and integration of rover avionics, structures, and electromechanical systems. Contribute to process documentation and tooling, perform failure analysis and troubleshooting, support vehicle testing, and collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams to improve manufacturability and reliability.

Design, release, and maintain tooling, fixtures, workholding, and GSE for CNC production. Create CAD models, drawings, BOMs, perform tolerance and manufacturability reviews, troubleshoot production issues, coordinate fabrication and commissioning, and drive continuous improvements in safety, quality, and throughput.

As a Senior RF Electrical Engineer, you will design, test, and support RF communications systems for lunar missions, including hardware and integration tasks.

As a Mechanical Engineer, you will collaborate on rover design, analyze mechanical systems, define requirements, and develop test plans for flight hardware.

Manage day-to-day costing operations during transition to manufacturing: implement and customize NetSuite costing, perform cost entries and reconciliations, track variances, ensure US GAAP and FAR compliance, support audits, and collaborate with Engineering, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain to translate floor activities into accurate cost data.

The EMC Engineer ensures avionics components meet EMC standards for interplanetary missions. Responsibilities include design integration, troubleshooting EMI issues, and performing tests using specialized lab equipment.

As a Human Factors Engineer, you will design user-focused systems for lunar rovers, collaborate with engineers and astronauts, and ensure safety and usability in the human-centered design.

The engineer will design, develop, analyze, and validate localization algorithms for rovers using various sensors and support flight software implementations and testing.

The FPGA Lead Engineer will develop and test avionics FPGA RTL designs for planetary rovers, lead architecture and verification processes, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure robust system interfacing and performance.

As an intern in the LTVS team, you'll develop systems engineering products, including V&V plans, and support various integration processes for NASA's rover program.

The Staff FPGA Engineer will lead the design, development, and verification of FPGA systems for planetary rovers, ensuring high reliability and flight readiness through collaboration with engineering teams.

The Principal FPGA Engineer will lead FPGA RTL development for rovers, oversee design verification, and collaborate with engineering teams on hardware and software interfaces.

The Staff Power Electrical Engineer designs and tests power avionics hardware for rovers, leading interdisciplinary reviews and ensuring reliability in dynamic environments.
