Design, build, and operate mission-optimized satellite constellations with Muon Space. Backed by Air Street.
About the role
Muon seeks a Mechanical Engineer to design and build hardware for our new Solar & Deployables group — the team responsible for the solar arrays and deployable systems that power our spacecraft. Working alongside the group's senior and staff engineers, you'll take real ownership of components and assemblies: designing them, releasing them, prototyping them, and proving them out in test.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of experience designing, building, and testing mechanical hardware
- Strong CAD skills (SolidWorks preferred) for component and assembly design
- Solid command of drawings, GD&T, BOMs, and tolerance stacks
- Hands-on prototyping and test experience with a bias for learning through hardware
- Familiarity with common fabrication methods (machining, sheet metal, composites, or additive)
- Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with a strong desire to learn in a fast-paced environment

This is a hands-on design role with a fast build-test-learn loop. You'll see your hardware go from CAD to flight, and you'll help carry designs from first prototypes through constellation-quantity production.
This position is hybrid and requires working on-site in our San Jose, CA office three days per week.
- Design components and assemblies for solar arrays and deployable systems — structures, mechanism components, and supporting hardware — from concept through detailed design and release
- Produce and release engineering documentation: drawings, GD&T, BOMs, and tolerance stacks under configuration control
- Build and test prototypes to evaluate design concepts and retire risk early
- Support qualification and acceptance test campaigns, including deployment testing with gravity offload and...
