Muon Space

Systems Engineer

• Support the conceptualization, design and development of multi-mission spacecraft systems, providing technical expertise and driving cross-functional decision making and trades
• Tailor the Muon mission design process to specific mission/program needs, with a focus on understanding and meeting the development needs of flight software (FSW), ground software (GSW), data product, and data pipeline teams
• Translate mission and system-level requirements into clear, verifiable, and actionable requirements and capabilities for software teams, and identify opportunities for building platform capabilities that can be applied across multiple-missions
• Collaborate with software teams to map capabilities against architectures to identify re-use vs technology deltas, generating high-level documentation such as system states/modes, operational concepts for software-driven functionality, and data flow diagrams
• Drive clarity in the definition and documentation of key software interfaces, both internal and external facing (e.g. onboard processing ICDs, customer tasking APIs)
• Define mission CONOPS and manage subsystem budgets, including not just traditional power/mass/data, but also software resources (e.g. compute utilization, data bus loading)
• Support the development and execution of software V&V and end-to-end test plans, including the use of simulation and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test environments
• Identify and mitigate internal and external mission risks, communicating impacts effectively
• Assess and coordinate design changes across disciplines throughout the program lifecycle
• Plan and prepare for design, test readiness, and flight readiness reviews
• Monitor on-orbit spacecraft and ground systems to ensure mission success and that customer requirements are met
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of engineering processes, tools, and methodologies to enhance efficiency and effectiveness in mission development and operations
