Electrical Manufacturing Engineer

At ispace U.S., were not just going to the Moonwere redefining how we get there. Our missions push the boundaries of human and robotic exploration, driven by our belief: Expand our Planet. Expand our Future. By providing cost-effective lunar transportation, we are pioneering a future where space is within reach for scientific discovery, commercial ventures, and sustainable exploration.
With locations in Japan, Luxembourg, and the United States, ispace is rapidly growing and leading the way in lunar exploration and development. Our U.S. branch is based in Englewood, Colorado, and focuses on high-capacity payload lunar landers designed to support future lunar missions. Our team is made up of innovators, problem-solvers, and visionaries committed to making space more accessible and fostering the next generation of space exploration.
Lets go to the Moon together! Our team is growing, and we are actively seeking talented individuals who share our passion for space.

ispace US is on a mission to make the Moon accessible for humanity, and the Electrical Manufacturing Engineer is central to making that vision real. In this role, you'll own the design, assembly, and quality assurance of electrical systems for lunar landers and spacecraft — ensuring every wire, harness, and component meets the rigorous demands of spaceflight. You'll partner closely with mechanical, systems, and avionics engineering teams to translate designs from concept to flight-ready hardware. Your work sits at the intersection of precision manufacturing and cutting-edge space exploration, directly influencing mission success and the reliability of hardware that will one day land on the Moon.

Key Respponsibilities

• Develop test solutions (hardware and software) for characterization and production test of integrated circuits, circuit card assemblies, subcomponent modules, top level modules as well as box module builds for product.

• Coordinate with component vendors to ensure compliance with technical specifications.
• Coordinate with systems engineering team to author and manage avionics requirements and verification plans.
• Develop test plans for receiving, in-process, and box assembly phases of product lifecycle
• Develop and review schematics, assembly drawings and manufacturing process flows to assure electrical outcomes throughout the product build cycle.
• Design, model, build, debug, and verify physical hardware for test fixtures, setups, and test interfaces.
• Ability to integrate and operate a variety of lab equipment for testing and debug purposes throughout the process cycle.
• Leverage knowledge to improve electrical manufacturability of product through proficiency and efficiency.
• Assist and mentor junior engineers as appropriate.
• Collaborate in team meetings and activities.
