## Description

Astrolab is looking for a Sr. Integration Engineer to be a technical leader for how our CLV-1 crewed lunar rover is integrated and proven ready for test, launch, and lunar mission operations. You will define the vehicle-level integration flow and system integration and test (SI&T) approach, lead the most complex integration operations and anomaly investigations, and help establish integration engineering as a discipline at Astrolab. This role bridges Manufacturing Engineering and our Test team, owning the vehicle from build through functional checkout and handoff to test.

What you'll do:

 * Own large portions of the vehicle-level integration flow for our rover builds, including build sequence, integration levels, and verification at each step through final closeout and ship
 * Define the SI&T approach with Systems Engineering and the Test team: what is verified during integration versus environmental and qualification testing, and how functional checkouts repeat between campaigns
 * Lead complex integration operations and integrated vehicle tests, including first vehicle power-on, end-to-end functional tests, mobility checkouts, and hardware-in-the-loop testing
 * Lead investigations into anomalous vehicle behavior across mechanical, electrical, and software boundaries; represent integration at quality review boards
 * Lead integration and manufacturing readiness reviews for major program milestones
 * Develop and institutionalize integration standards, including procedure templates, safe-to-mate practices, hazardous operations (high-voltage batteries, critical lifts), and workmanship
 * Define requirements for integration GSE/EGSE, vehicle handling equipment, and integration facility layout
 * Outline detailed integration plans and drive cross functional execution
 * Mentor earlier career engineers and technicians, and serve as technical lead for cross-disciplinary integration efforts
