Jobs at Muon Space

Lead development and maintenance of software test infrastructure, including hardware testbeds and simulated test scenarios. Implement CI/CD-driven testing, integrate simulation tools, expand off-nominal test coverage, mentor engineers, and coordinate cross-team testing policy and planning to improve release velocity and mission success.

Contribute to design, development, and testing of spacecraft electrical systems including flight computers, power distribution, sensors, and communications. Perform schematic capture and PCB layout, prototype bring-up, hardware validation, and cross-functional integration. Create design documentation, test procedures, and participate in design reviews.

Lead assembly, alignment, integration, and test of infrared optomechanical instruments. Develop procedures and alignment strategies, perform precision optical alignment and bonding, execute subsystem and environmental testing (vibration, TVAC), support V&V and radiometric calibration, analyze test data and generate reports, drive continuous improvement, and collaborate with cross-functional teams, vendors, and partners.

Hands-on mechanical design, analysis, build-support, and test execution for spacecraft components and subsystems. Responsibilities include CAD design in SolidWorks, structural and thermal analysis, test fixture and procedure development, assembly/integration oversight, supplier coordination, documentation, and configuration management across the product lifecycle.

Serve as technical lead for a designated space mission across concept, development, verification, and on-orbit operations. Translate customer objectives into requirements and ICDs, manage requirements traceability, subsystem budgets, risk, design changes, and reviews. Coordinate cross-functional teams (systems, hardware, software, data, ground, operations), interface with customers, and improve engineering processes and tools.

Develop and document manufacturable assembly and test processes for satellites. Collaborate with design engineers, specify tooling and fixtures, support hands-on assembly/testing, troubleshoot process issues, lead corrective actions, and maintain process documentation to improve efficiency, quality, and safety.

Own the end-to-end commercial capture process: lead customer discovery and lead generation, manage pipeline and deal qualification, collaborate with engineering and product to deliver integrated solutions, produce market sizing and customer insights, implement pricing frameworks, and ensure smooth transition from pre-sales to execution.

Conduct hands-on testing, characterization, and environmental qualification of optical, optomechanical, and moving-mechanism subsystems. Define test strategy, create procedures, execute functional/performance/TVAC/vibration tests, develop GSE/testbeds, analyze data, and generate test reports while collaborating with multi-disciplinary teams.

Lead technical development and delivery of infrared optical subsystems: define and manage optical error budgets and performance metrics, drive assembly/integration/test (AI&T), support environmental testing (vibration, TVAC), collaborate with systems engineering on cross-functional budgets, and champion testing methodology improvements.

Design, implement, and validate spacecraft attitude control architectures and algorithms in embedded C++. Define ACS requirements, perform analysis and simulations, support on-orbit performance trending and anomaly resolution, and plan/execute software and hardware-in-the-loop tests for modular, mission-agnostic GNC subsystems.

Lead design and delivery of Muon's in-house simulation services. Integrate physical simulation models into products, align roadmaps with mission needs, collaborate with stakeholders and test teams, define success metrics, and mentor engineers to improve planning, estimation, and automated testing integration.

Lead first-principles research and prototype development for EO/IR geospatial imagery products. Conduct feasibility studies, analyze pixel-level spectral datasets, build prototype intelligence products, engage customers to derive technical requirements, and collaborate with product, engineering, and business teams to transition novel remote sensing concepts into market-ready offerings.

Lead technical design, analysis, test, and manufacturing of spacecraft structures and components. Mentor engineers, define mechanical standards and roadmaps, optimize mass/cost/ manufacturability, manage vendors, and support prototype and production hardware through environmental testing and on-orbit programs.

Develop and maintain internal, mission-critical software and platforms to automate processes and reduce manual work. Own end-to-end delivery, contribute to systems architecture and technology selection, and assist integration of core systems (ERP, PLM, MES, Supply Chain) to streamline handoffs across teams.

Lead spacecraft mechanical design from requirements through launch integration: tailor platform components, design/build/test mission-specific hardware, produce SolidWorks assemblies and documentation, coordinate cross-functional engineering (structures, thermal, electrical), run analyses and environmental testing, manage vendors, and lead mechanical reviews and build procedures.

Lead customer-focused collection planning, deconflict schedules, and ensure timely data collection and delivery across missions. Develop scalable collection planning, monitoring, and reporting processes, perform capacity planning, onboard and train hires, coordinate prioritization with stakeholders, and ensure customer inquiries meet contractual SLAs.

Lead mission readiness and performance across the Mission Foundry lifecycle: define V&V campaigns, streamline AI&T workflows, analyze on-orbit telemetry, improve autonomy and fault management, feed performance data into design iterations, and support internal tooling roadmaps to scale spacecraft production and operations.

Lead multidisciplinary aerospace programs to deliver satellite systems on schedule and budget. Coordinate stakeholders, manage schedules, budgets, risks, contracts, and support business development and capture activities.

Lead optomechanical design and analysis for infrared remote sensing instruments across full lifecycle. Perform STOP analysis, tolerance stackups, DFM/DFA, and AI&T planning. Support environmental testing (vibration, TVAC), system integration, production, and cross-functional collaboration to deliver complex instrument hardware and test infrastructure.

Lead accounting organization and own monthly/quarterly/annual close, external reporting, technical and cost accounting, controls, audit readiness, ERP/finance systems, and program cost tracking for commercial and government programs. Partner cross-functionally to scale processes, build a high-performing team, and ensure compliance with accounting standards and export-controlled data access requirements.
