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.

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.

Responsibilities

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

Work with the electrical missions team to translate flight hardware designs (block diagrams, schematics, drawings) into each mission's testbed configuration

Debug hardware and interface issues across testbeds, working alongside electrical, software, and systems engineers …
