About this role
Astrolab is The Lunar Operations Company. We design and build the systems and hardware the lunar economy will come to depend on — rovers, power, and data networks for sustained operations on the Moon. We are focused on the problems that must be solved before the next chapter of human exploration can scale. The Moon does not forgive untested assumptions. The people who work here know that, and they wouldn't have it any other way. As our Brand Designer, you are the person who makes Astrolab look like Astrolab, every single day, across every single touchpoint. We are building a creative monopoly inside the aerospace industry. That sounds ambitious because it is. And it starts here, with this role. This is an execution-first position. You will be holding the brand standard on everything from a mission patch to a label on space hardware. No design project is too small to be considered. You understand that the sticker on a toolbox, an OOH billboard, and the slide in an investor deck are all expressions of the same brand world, and both deserve the same care. But this is not a job for someone who waits for direction. We want someone who knows the brand system inside and out and then pushes it, takes risks within the system, finds the edges, and occasionally shows us something we didn't know we needed. We are building a brand world that talent and vendors want to be a part of. That only happens through curation at every touchpoint, and that curation starts with you.
