Careers at Cislune
Build lunar systems that leave the slide deck
Cislune brings mechanical systems, robotics, controls, simulation, materials, and field operations together in a small Southern California team working on practical lunar surface infrastructure.
The work
Move between ideas, hardware, evidence, and operations.
Cislune projects can involve mechanism design, fabrication, regolith interaction, rover mobility, controls, autonomy, digital twins, thermal and vacuum testing, material processing, technical writing, and field demonstrations.
We value people who can learn quickly, make the work legible to others, and help turn an uncertain technical question into a useful test.
What helps here
Curiosity with follow-through.
Build and test
Comfort moving from CAD, code, or a test plan into hardware and measurable evidence.
Work across disciplines
Interest in the connections among excavation, mobility, materials, autonomy, simulation, and mission operations.
Communicate clearly
Document assumptions, decisions, results, and open questions so a fast-moving team can build on them.
Own the next step
Notice what is missing, propose a bounded experiment, and carry useful work through to completion.
Start here
Show us what you can make clearer, faster, or more real.
The internship application is the best starting point for student and early-career interest. For experienced technical collaboration, contracting, or a role that does not fit the form, contact Cislune with a concise note about the work you want to do.
