We engineer the conditions people take for granted on Earth (breathable air, stable pressure, controlled temperature and humidity) and make them dependable in one of the harshest environments humans have ever tried to live in.An economy beyond Earth depends on people being able to stay there. We’re building the infrastructure that makes that possible, starting on the Moon.Visit cambrianspace.com to learn more about Cambrian Space.About The RoleAs an Avionics & Hardware Engineer, you will work with a team of electrical and hardware engineers to design, develop, and qualify the avionics that keep our lunar habitats — and the people inside them — alive. You will have full ownership of direction and delivery across the electronics that run the habitat and the ground: ECLSS instrumentation and sensor networks, power generation and distribution, command and data handling, and the flight and ground hardware that connects operators on Earth to astronauts on the lunar surface. This is a high-impact role where you will own avionics across the full product life cycle, from schematic and board design through environmental qualification and surface operations, and set the design rigor for a high-assurance system that human lives depend on.You will be the subject-matter expert on all avionics and hardware and the systems they support. This includes designing and building the electronic assemblies that sense, power, and control the habitat, defining the architecture and requirements that govern them, and standing up the test infrastructure that qualifies them for flight. You will work closely with the ECLSS, Structures, and Software sub-teams to understand how the hardware will be used, and you will have the opportunity to build the technology that will support life on other worlds.What You’ll OwnDesign, build, and qualify avionics hardware — PCBAs, sensor interfaces, power distribution, and command and data handling — for lunar habitatsOwn avionics architecture and requirements across the full product life cycle, from derivation through qualification and operationsDesign new hardware, redesign existing hardware, and modify PCBAs to improve reliability, manufacturability, and habitat capabilityDrive changes to electrical schematics and mechanical drawings that improve reliability and manufacturabilityPerform root cause investigations to characterize off-nominal behavior and mitigate riskDesign test setups and execute hardware validation through benchtop and environmental testingInvent tools and processes that enable fast, accurate, and reliable hardware developmentEstablish and maintain design rigor, derating standards, and review processes across the teamSupport hardware bring-up, integration, and issue resolution through assembly and testMinimum QualificationsDegree RequirementsBachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a STEM discipline OR High School Diploma or equivalent and 2 years of relevant experienceExperience2+ years of experience in electronics hardware design (academic projects, internships, and professional experience all qualify)Experience with electrical test equipment (e.g., multimeters, signal generators, oscilloscopes) to verify hardware functionalitySecurityITAR Requirements: To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C.1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C.1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.TravelLittle required (","company":"Cambrian Space","rawCompany":"cambrian space","city":"Industry","state":"CA","isRemote":false,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-10-19T11:25:05.403Z","occupations":[{"code":"17-2072.00","title":"Electronics Engineers, Except Computer","slug":"electronics-engineers-except-computer"},{"code":"17-2061.00","title":"Computer Hardware Engineers","slug":"computer-hardware-engineers"},{"code":"17-3023.00","title":"Electrical and Electronic Engineering Technologists and Technicians","slug":"electrical-and-electronic-engineering-technologists-and-technicians"}],"industries":[{"code":"927110","title":"Space Research and Technology","slug":"space-research-and-technology"},{"code":"334511","title":"Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing","slug":"search-detection-navigation-guidance-aeronautical-and-nautical-system-and-instrument-manufacturing"},{"code":"336414","title":"Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing","slug":"guided-missile-and-space-vehicle-manufacturing"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Avionics & Hardware Engineer","description":"Requisition Number: 10110Time Commitment: Extended hours and occasional weekends as neededEmployment Type: Full Time/Salaried/ExemptAnticipated Salary Range: $95,000 – $175,000Security Clearance: ITAR ComplianceLevel of Experience: Entry/Early Career/Mid/SeniorWho We AreCambrian Space is building a human-rated lunar habitat platform to enable a sustained human presence on the Moon and the lunar industrial economy that will follow.Our habitats are built around life.
