Design, build, and operate mission-optimized satellite constellations with Muon Space. Backed by Air Street.
About the role
Muon seeks an Engineering Manager to lead a team of electrical engineers who tailor Muon's spacecraft platforms to specific missions. This team owns all electrical customization a mission requires. This includes adapting our flight-proven avionics, power, and payload-interface hardware to mission requirements. As a result this team and role is more customer facing than other engineering roles.
What they're looking for
- 8+ years of experience designing, integrating, or testing complex electrical systems that operate in harsh environments (spacecraft, aviation, automotive, robotics, or similar)
- 2+ years managing or technically leading engineering teams
- Strong ability to read, understand, and debug electrical designs
- Solid understanding of spacecraft or complex-system electronics: avionics, power distribution, harnessing, and hardware/software integration
- Experience with electrical harness design, documentation, and integration
- Proficiency with schematic capture and PCB design tools (e.g., Altium, Cadence/OrCAD) and standard lab equipment (oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies)
More about this role
Muon seeks an Engineering Manager to lead a team of electrical engineers who tailor Muon's spacecraft platforms to specific missions. This team owns all electrical customization a mission requires. This includes adapting our flight-proven avionics, power, and payload-interface hardware to mission requirements. As a result this team and role is more customer facing than other engineering roles. The work is closer to application engineering than new-product development: design work is focused and targeted, and the ability to deeply understand and debug existing designs is essential. This is a hands-on management role weighted toward leadership. You'll spend most of your time managing and developing your team, while staying technically engaged - reviewing designs, debugging hardware, and unblocking the team. The role reports to the Senior Director of Spacecraft Structures & Missions.
This position is hybrid and requires working on-site in our San Jose, CA office three days per week.
