Design, build, and operate mission-optimized satellite constellations with Muon Space. Backed by Air Street.
About the role
Muon seeks an early-career Hardware Test Engineer to join our Testbeds & EGSE team — the group that builds the Hardware-In-The-Loop (HITL) testbeds behind every Muon mission and the electrical ground support equipment (EGSE) used to interface with our satellites during assembly, integration, and test. You'll help build and design this infrastructure alongside the team's senior engineers: assembling and bringing up testbeds for each mission, and contributing to the design of our next generation of EGSE.
What they're looking for
- 2+ years of hands-on experience building, testing, or debugging hardware in a complex electromechanical system (internships and substantial project work considered)
- Background in electrical engineering, embedded software, mechanical engineering, or industrial controls
- Hands-on hardware skills: assembly, wiring, and basic troubleshooting with tools like multimeters and oscilloscopes
- Understanding of electronics fundamentals and common communication interfaces (e.g., UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, Ethernet)
- Basic scripting or programming ability (Python or Bash)
- Strong problem-solving skills and a hands-on approach to engineering challenges

This team sits at the crossroads of disciplines, and so can you: engineers with electrical, embedded software, mechanical, or industrial controls backgrounds all thrive here. What matters most is hands-on instinct, curiosity about how the whole system works, and eagerness to learn fast.
Due to the hands-on nature of this role, it requires onsite work at our San Jose location 5x days a week.
- Build, integrate, and bring up HITL testbed hardware — racks, avionics modules, harnessing, and external interfaces — for each mission
- Assist in the design of testbed hardware and next-generation EGSE used to power, command, and monitor satellites during integration and test
