Avionics/ Electronics Engineer

Full-time

Avionics / Embedded Systems Engineer (Space Systems)

Your work could be operating on the lunar surface within the next 12-18 months.

We’re partnering with a cutting-edge aerospace team developing advanced payload systems for an upcoming lunar mission. This role sits at the intersection of electronics design, embedded software, and real-time system control, with direct impact on mission-critical hardware.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Designing and developing mixed-signal electronics and avionics systems
  • Writing embedded flight software for autonomous operations and fault management
  • Integrating hardware with external systems (power, data, telemetry)
  • Supporting test, integration, and ground support equipment
  • Working across hardware/software boundaries in a fast-paced, build-test-learn environment

What We’re Looking For:

  • Strong experience with PCB design and embedded C/C++ development
  • Hands-on debugging using lab equipment (oscilloscope, JTAG, etc.)
  • Experience with real-time systems and hardware-in-the-loop testing
  • Familiarity with harsh environment design (thermal, EMI/EMC, radiation) is a plus
  • Builders who thrive in high-ownership, mission-driven teams

Ideal for engineers who want to move beyond incremental work and contribute to something truly groundbreaking in space systems.

Darwin Recruitment is acting as an Employment Agency in relation to this vacancy.
