Rover Thermal Control Systems Engineer (GNC/ Software)

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 seeking a control systems engineer to support development and software implementation of active thermal control systems and algorithms for extra-terrestrial rovers with highly constrained power and energy budgets.

Thermal control system development will include simulation, analysis, and design of vehicle thermal controls and algorithms; identification and sizing of thermal control system sensors and actuators (heaters or other); analysis, characterization, verification, and validation of thermal control system and algorithm performance; gain tuning; and supporting integrated hardware/software testing to verify thermal control system performance.
