Job Description
Systems Engineer managing mission success and performance for spacecraft at Muon Space. Collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure technical integrity and operational objectives during mission design and execution.
Responsibilities:
- Enable the Muon Mission Foundry by driving processes and architectural decisions that allow Muon to scale spacecraft production and mission operations reliably and repeatably, moving beyond legacy quality assurance paradigms.
- Partner with Mission Systems Engineers to own and track V&V compliance, verification progress, and test coverage campaigns.
- Streamline AI&T workflows by identifying V&V bottlenecks and championing pragmatic Test Like You Fly (TLYF) standards.
- Analyze on-orbit telemetry and platform operations to squeeze maximum utility and capacity out of deployed assets
- Drive predictable outcomes by ensuring on-orbit performance closely matches pre-flight models, understanding and proving the accuracy of the specifications we sell to customers.
- Actively close the loop by feeding on-orbit performance data back into the early-phase design of the next platform iteration.
- A tactical focus on increasing autonomy and resilience of our platforms, driving efforts that maximize customer uptime while minimizing the number of operators
- Act as a key technical stakeholder supporting product roadmaps for internal tooling (e.g., MuSim, power analysis, data throughput), and utilizing your own software skills to build upon and extend baseline code, ensuring the tools enable the scaling of the Foundry.
- Business-Driven "Right-Sizing": Make pragmatic decisions that balance engineering pain points against direct business outcomes, prioritizing work that moves the needle on revenue over simply policing internal processes.
Requirements:
- M.S. or higher degree in an engineering field plus 8+ years of experience working in a multi-disciplinary environment, ideally with exposure to mission design, spacecraft operations, and systems architecture
- Experience with deployed systems in the field, operating in high reliability, performance critical environments
- Proven business acumen within an engineering context, understanding how asset capacity, uptime, and system resilience directly impact gross margins and revenue generation.
- Extensive experience in AI&T workflows and V&V strategies, specifically tracking defect escape rates, and test coverage
- Deep understanding of spacecraft autonomy, fault management architectures, and the operational integration of FSW and GSW.
- Strong software skills (e.g., Python, Julia) with the ability to build upon existing codebases, coupled with a collaborative approach to supporting internal tooling roadmaps.
- Demonstrated ability to model system performance (power, thermal, data throughput) and validate those models against real-world, on-orbit data.
- Excellent communication and prioritization skills, with the ability to confidently balance technical risk with agile business constraints.
- Ability to rapidly change roles/responsibilities while working in a high-paced, rewarding work environment
Benefits:
- Equity compensation
- Medical insurance
- Dental insurance
- Vision insurance
- 401k retirement plan
- Short & long term disability insurance
- Life insurance
- Three weeks paid vacation
- 12 paid holidays
- Unlimited sick time
- Paid parental leave
