Job Description
Are you ready to design the cradles of humanity beyond Earth?
Aether Dynamics is pioneering the next era of human expansion, targeting the 2026 lunar landing objectives. We are seeking a visionary Senior Space Habitat Architect to lead the design and engineering of sustainable, closed-loop living environments for our first generation of lunar and Martian settlers.
In this high-impact role, you won't just be drawing blueprints; you will be architecting the foundation of human survival off-world. You will bridge the gap between aerospace engineering and sustainable architecture, ensuring that our habitats are not only structurally sound in microgravity but also psychologically nurturing for the crew.
If you are passionate about the future of space exploration and possess the technical prowess to build life in hostile environments, we want to hear from you.
Responsibilities
- Lead the conceptualization and detailed design of pressurized living modules for lunar and Martian surface operations, adhering to 2026 mission timelines.
- Develop innovative closed-loop life support systems, integrating air revitalization, water recycling, and waste management into the architectural structure.
- Perform rigorous structural analysis for zero-gravity environments, ensuring habitat integrity against micrometeoroid impacts and thermal cycling.
- Collaborate with propulsion and logistics teams to optimize habitat mass and volume for efficient launch vehicle integration.
- Define and enforce safety protocols and human factors standards to maximize crew efficiency and well-being in confined spaces.
- Mentor junior architects and engineers, fostering a culture of innovation and rigorous technical excellence.
Qualifications
- Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Architecture, or a related field with a focus on space systems.
- Minimum of 5 years of experience in spacecraft design, pressure vessel engineering, or zero-gravity habitat architecture.
- Proficiency in advanced CAD software (e.g., CATIA, SolidWorks) and parametric modeling tools.
- Deep understanding of closed-loop ecological life support systems (CELSS) and regenerative technologies.
- Experience with thermal control systems and radiation shielding methodologies for deep space habitats.
- Strong project management skills with a proven track record of delivering complex engineering projects on schedule.
