What are the responsibilities and job description for the Project Engineer position at EVONA?
AI&T Project Engineer
Are you driven by the idea of pushing humanity further into space?
Join a fast-moving team building the next generation of planetary vehicles and space robotics. We’re developing advanced systems designed to support long-term human and robotic operations beyond Earth—while also delivering real impact here on the ground.
We’re looking for an AI&T Project Engineer who thrives in a hands-on, multidisciplinary environment. In this role, you’ll work closely with engineering, program management, and prototype development teams to coordinate system testing, support early-stage hardware development, and help bring complex space systems from concept to reality.
