Venturi Astrolab, Inc. (Astrolab) is pioneering new ways to explore and operate on distant planetary bodies. We are 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 seek motivated, creative, and exceptional people to join our world-class team.
As an Avionics Engineer, you will be responsible for full component and system ownership throughout the design lifecycle. You will be pivotal in architecting rover avionics systems and designing state-of-the-art avionics systems for the lunar surface. You will join a company at the ground level and have immense influence over the future of lunar exploration.

• Define full avionics systems/subsystems and define operational requirements at the system and component level
• Define and analyze avionics power system and optimize for power efficiency and power integrity
• You will have full ownership of avionics systems on our lunar rover. You will design, manufacture, and test high-reliability PCBs and components for a variety of avionics applications, including power systems and motor drivers
• Conduct system-level trades to ensure avionics systems and components are robust, fault-tolerant, and meet mission requirements
• Interface with other engineers to ensure seamless subsystem integration of mechanical, electrical, and software systems
• Lead test campaigns to qualify newly designed parts for spaceflight. Bring components through Vibe, Shock, TVAC, EMI, Radiation
