## 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
