About Starpath

Starpath Robotics is developing a full stack solution for commercial-scale rocket propellant production on the Moon and Mars. We are building one of the key enabling technologies that will make humans a multi-planet species. If high ownership, fast pace, working with space-hardware, and solving challenging problems sounds like a dream come true, come join the team


Senior Thermal Engineer - Rover

Starpath’s Rover team is building a set of high-speed, high-throughput mining Rovers for the Moon. These machines are designed to be the fastest, most powerful, and most capable in their class. On the Rover team, you’ll own subsystems from defining requirements through to manufacturing and testing. Starpath’s Rover team is a unique opportunity to design and build a critical and exciting part of humanity’s first industrial base in space.


Responsibilities

  • Own the thermal systems of Rover components, from design and analysis through to verification and testing
  • Define & justify thermal architecture requirements, conduct trade space analysis, create spreadsheet/MATLAB/Python first order models, and document decision processes
  • Create and manage thermal FEA models along with detailed component level design
  • Validate architecture and modeling via testing in a simulated lunar environment (TVAC)
  • Interface with adjacent teams to cohesively integrate hardware with supporting subsystems


Required Qualifications

  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or a related field
  • 5+ years of experience designing thermal control systems
  • 5+ years of experience using engineering simulation software
  • Experience with CAD and detailed engineering calculations/analysis
  • A desire to make humans a multi-planet species


Preferred Qualifications

  • Post-graduate degree in a technical field
  • 10+ years of experience in design of thermal control systems for space applications
  • Experience with industry standard thermal analysis software (Thermal Desktop, or similar)
  • A strong desire to make humans a multi-planet species


Position Details

  • Location: Los Angeles - Hawthorne
  • Salary base rate is $120k-$180k/yr, plus equity package; compensation scales with candidate experience
  • PTO & health/dental/vision coverage included
