What are the responsibilities and job description for the Staff Electrical Power Engineer - EPS IPT position at Lunar Outpost?
Are you passionate about shaping the future of humanity's presence in space? Lunar Outpost, an industry leader in space robotics and planetary vehicles, invites you to join our team! Lunar Outpost is dedicated to creating a permanent presence in space, while also driving positive impacts here on Earth.
We are currently seeking a Senior Electrical Power Engineer to contribute to our lunar missions. The main responsibility of the Senior Electrical Power Engineer is to design and develop Electrical Power Systems (EPS) for our lunar missions. In this role, you will be responsible for power architecture design, distribution, and harnessing. The selected candidate will require a strong background in high-voltage battery powered systems where power distribution and high efficiency conversions are common.
Your work will not only contribute to groundbreaking missions but also to technologies that have the potential to benefit humanity on Earth. Collaborating with cross-disciplinary engineering teams, you'll bring your expertise to solve complex challenges and define the future of lunar surface mobility in a fast-paced startup environment. Take the #NextLeap with Lunar Outpost and work on the Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV), which will carry NASA astronauts farther than they've ever been before on the lunar surface!
Key Responsibilities
Lunar Outpost is an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate against protected characteristics (gender, age, sexual orientation, race, nationality, ethnicity, religion, disability, veteran status). We want all employees (including executives and HR) to treat others with respect and professionalism.
