Muon Space

Systems Engineer

• Serve as the ultimate technical authority for your designated mission, leading the conceptualization, design, and development of the mission.
• Lead the tailoring and implementation of the Muon mission design process for your designated mission, ensuring alignment with program needs, while contributing to process refinement across all missions.
• Own the translation of customer objectives and stakeholder needs into clear, verifiable, and actionable technical requirements for your designated mission.
• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for your designated mission, interfacing with customers, partners, and internal stakeholders on all technical matters.
• Manage requirements traceability, verification, and validation
• Define mission CONOPS and manage subsystem budgets (e.g., power, data, mass, pointing/stability).
• Identify and mitigate internal and external mission risks, communicating impacts effectively.
• Assess and coordinate design changes across disciplines throughout the program lifecycle.
• Lead design, test readiness, and flight readiness reviews.
• Monitor on-orbit spacecraft and data pipelines to ensure mission success and that customer requirements are met.
• Foster deep collaboration with and provide technical direction to systems, hardware, software, data, ground segment, and operations teams for your designated mission, and support these interactions across other missions.
• Effectively serve as the Mission Lead Systems Engineer for one mission while contributing general systems engineering expertise and support to other Muon missions, potentially deputizing for other Mission Lead Systems Engineers as needed.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of engineering processes, tools, and methodologies to enhance efficiency and effectiveness in mission development and operations.

Senior Mission Lead Systems Engineer

• 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.
