    Job Description
    Description
    Astrolab is The Lunar Operations Company. We design and build the systems and hardware the lunar economy will come to depend on — rovers, power, and data networks for sustained operations on the Moon. We are focused on the problems that must be solved before the next chapter of human exploration can scale. The Moon does not forgive untested assumptions. The people who work here know that, and they wouldn't have it any other way.
     
    Astrolab is seeking a Senior Network Engineer to own the design, implementation, and security of our enterprise and mission critical network infrastructure. This role requires hardening networks to meet NIST 800-171/53 and integrate on-premises environments into our cloud platforms. This position reports to the IT Manager, Cloud & Infrastructure.

    • Act as the subject matter expert and primary escalation point for networking, cloud connectivity, and performance issues 
    • Mentor and coach entry/mid-level engineers interested in expanding their skillsets 
    • Participate in on-call rotations, troubleshoot infrastructure issues, and perform root-cause analysis (RCA) for system outages 
    • Maintain clear, up-to-date documentation of architectural diagrams, deployment processes, and runbooks
