## 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
