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. Astrolab is looking for a team member who will support both the development of lunar rovers and development of our production processes and facility. You will collaborate with other Astrolab engineers to advance product design in tandem with advancing our means to build and test. You will be ultimately responsible for ensuring the timely build and test of various rover subassemblies, subsystems, and final vehicle integration activities. Design, define, and develop fabrication, assembly, integration, test processes for Flight-qualified structural hardware, primary and secondary structures, metallic and composites assemblies, deployable mechanisms, actuators, hinges, latches and precision mechanisms Drive design for excellence (DFx) throughout all stages of the product life cycle Develop and institutionalize fabrication and assembly standards Champion implementation of technology, processes, and methodologies to accelerate hardware development, build, test, and operation Lead investigations and determine solutions for non-conformances Perform hands-on troubleshooting and root cause analysis Hands-on work. Fabrication, assembly, test, and integration. Develop work instructions and documentation for build and test processes Outline detailed project plans and drive cross functional execution. Key supporter of these areas: Design of the rover and other lunar hardware Collaborate with the cross functional team to develop the product, processes, facility, and supply chain simultaneously championing concurrent engineering Supplier development Quality systems, data, and records management Development of internal design, construction, and verification specifications Configuration management Procurement and production planning
