The Role
Lead cross-discipline integration of rover technologies from discovery through maturation and into partner integrations. Support technical integration of payloads, coordinate design efforts, and contribute to business development and proposal responses by leveraging a systems-level understanding of rover capabilities and technology roadmaps.
Summary Generated by Built In
Venturi Astrolab, Inc. (Astrolab) is pioneering new ways to explore and operate on distant planetary bodies. We are singularly focused on designing, building, and operating a fleet of multi-purpose commercial planetary rovers to extend and enhance humanity’s presence in the solar system. We are seeking motivated, creative, and exceptional people to join our world-class team.
Our design team works collaboratively to design and implement exceptional engineering solutions to enable off planet exploration. As a Senior Misson Integration Engineer within that team, you play a key role developing technologies and bridging the gaps between design disciplines and business units.
