About The Position

At ispace U.S., we’re not just going to the Moon—we’re 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. Let’s 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.
