Design, build, and operate mission-optimized satellite constellations with Muon Space. Backed by Air Street.
About the role
You will serve as a technical expert and guide for the customer throughout the early phases of their mission, ensuring that they can test their code and payload long in advance of launch. You will set up appropriate simulations and tests with them to help them gain confidence in what will happen on orbit. You will ensure a seamless transition such that the systems can work the same in test as they will work in orbit, allowing the customer to much more quickly get real data from their spacecraft.
What they're looking for
- B.S. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent experience
- Strong fluency in modern C++ and Python
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including shipping software that external customers depend on
- Excellent coding and design skills
- Excellent written and verbal communication
- Spaceflight flight software experience, or other safety/mission-critical embedded software experience
