Original job description

Vast is developing next-generation space stations and space infrastructure using an incremental, hardware-rich, and low-cost approach. Vast is rapidly developing its multi-module Haven Station to ensure a continuous human presence in space for America and its allies, enabling advanced microgravity research and manufacturing, and unlocking a new space economy for government, corporate, and private customers. Haven Demo’s 2025 success made Vast the only operational commercial space station company to fly and operate its own spacecraft. Next, Haven-1 is expected to become the world’s first commercial space station when it launches in 2027, followed by additional Haven modules. Additionally, the company recently announced Vast Satellite, a high-power satellite product line leveraging its space station components and the heritage of Haven Demo.

Headquartered in Long Beach, California, and with more than 1,000 employees and over a billion dollars in private capital, Vast has built the facilities required to manufacture and operate America’s next space station. The company plans to develop future habitats and systems for the Moon and Mars, dedicated space stations for government partners, and other crewed systems that will unlock the expanding long-term space economy.

Vast is looking for a Senior Avionics Engineer to support our Lunar Program, reporting to the Senior Vice President, Lunar Programs. As the first dedicated avionics engineer on the program, you will serve as a Responsible Engineer for flight avionics hardware, owning design, development, qualification, and integration from early architecture through flight. You will help define how the Lunar program builds avionics: setting the architecture, design standards, and verification practices that the team will inherit as the program scales.

This will be a full-time, exempt position located in our Long Beach location.

Responsibilities:

Serve as Responsible Engineer for avionics subsystems and components, owning requirements, design, analysis, build, test, and flight readiness
Define and develop avionics architecture for lunar vehicles and systems, including flight computers, power distribution, data handling, communications, sensors, and harnessing
Design and develop flight electronics, including schematic capture, PCB layout oversight, component selection, and box-level design, with attention to radiation, thermal, and environmental constraints beyond LEO
Write and manage avionics requirements and interface control documents, and work closely with GNC, flight software, propulsion, power, thermal, and structures teams to close interfaces
Lead design reviews (CoDR, PDR, CDR) and present technical trades, analyses, and risks to program and engineering leadership
Plan and execute development, qualification, and acceptance test campaigns for avionics hardware, including functional, EMI/EMC, random vibration, shock, thermal cycling, and TVAC testing
Build and maintain avionics test benches, hardware-in-the-loop setups, and ground support equipment for checkout and integration
Support integration of avionics into vehicle-level systems, and troubleshoot hardware, firmware, and interface issues through integrated testing
Partner with suppliers on procurement, design reviews, and acceptance of avionics components and assemblies
Drive reliability, parts selection, derating, and failure analysis practices, and own corrective actions on non-conformances
Help scope and grow the Lunar avionics team, mentoring engineers and technicians as new hires join

Minimum Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related engineering discipline
6+ years of experience designing, developing, and testing avionics or electrical hardware for aerospace, defense, or similarly demanding applications
Demonstrated ownership of hardware from design through test and integration

Preferred Skills & Experience:

Experience serving as Responsible Engineer for spaceflight avionics through qualification and flight
Experience with embedded systems, flight computers, power electronics, and data bus architectures (e.g., RS-422, CAN, SpaceWire, Ethernet, MIL-STD-1553)
Experience designing for radiation environments, including part selection, single-event effects mitigation, and total ionizing dose considerations for beyond-LEO or lunar missions
Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB design tools (e.g., Altium) and the ability to read and interpret schematics, harness drawings, and interface documentation
Experience with environmental and EMI/EMC testing for spaceflight hardware
Experience with coding languages (Python, C/C++, MATLAB) for test automation, firmware support, and data analysis
Experience standing up new hardware capability, labs, or teams in a fast-paced, resource-constrained environment
Demonstrated experience mentoring or leading engineers and technicians, formally or informally
Ability to work in multi-disciplinary teams and operate independently with limited direction, thriving in a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment

Additional Requirements:

Willingness to travel to test sites, including Mojave and supplier or outside test facilities, as required
Willingness to work evenings and/or weekends to support critical mission milestones

Pay Range: California

$147,000 - $249,000 USD

We calibrate level and compensation to the selected candidate's experience and demonstrated capability. We welcome applicants across a range of experience levels to apply.

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

Base salary will vary depending on job-related knowledge, education, skills, experience, business needs, and market demand. Salary is just one component of our comprehensive compensation package. Full-time employees also receive company equity, as well as access to a full suite of compelling benefits and perks, including: medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and dependents, generous paid time off; up to 20+ days of vacation for exempt staff and up to 10+ days of vacation for non-exempt staff with the ability to cash-out unused vacation annually, paid parental leave, short and long-term disability insurance, life insurance, access to a 401(k) retirement plan, ClassPass credits, personalized mental healthcare through Spring Health, and other discounts and perks. We also take pride in offering exceptional food perks, with snacks, drip coffee & onsite barista, cold drinks, and dinner meals remaining free of charge, and lunch subsidized as part of Vast’s ongoing commitment to providing high-quality meals for employees.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY

Vast is an Equal Opportunity Employer; employment with Vast is governed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications and will not be influenced in any manner by race, color, religion, gender, national origin/ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, mental or physical disability or any other legally protected status.
