Moon Hotel -> The Intergalactic Construction Company of Earth

Tech

We’re building the first hotel on the Moon, so our tech is focused on off‑world habitation: inflatable, pressurized habitats that can survive vacuum, regolith, radiation, and extreme thermal swings.

The role

**Your product will land on the Moon next year.**You’ll design, build, and test our 2027 Lunar Payload: the one that manufactures humanity’s first bricks on the Moon and deploys an inflatable habitat bladder. This is hands-on, full-lifecycle hardware engineering at a pace most aerospace companies can’t keep up with.**What you’ll do:*** Own the mechanical design of the payload from concept through flight hardware.* Rapidly prototype, test, break things, and iterate.* Manage ICD with the lunar lander provider and be the primary point of contact.* Run and interpret structural/mechanism analysis to support design trades.**What we’re looking for:*** Deep fluency with CAD and FEA tools: you think in 3D and can back it up with analysis.* Experience designing spaceflight hardware end-to-end (build, test, deploy).* Comfort with mechanisms: actuators, seals, deployables, pressure systems, end effectors, and more.* You’re using the latest AI tools every day (i.e., Opus 4.6/GPT 5.4, in appropriate harness) to massively increase your output and do things you otherwise couldn’t.* You’ve built flight hardware before.If you want to maximize the probability that humanity becomes interplanetary in your lifetime, apply and share a portfolio of the technical work you’re most proud of.
