Muon Space is hiring a Staff Spacecraft Platform Engineer to be a senior technical owner of our spacecraft bus — the reusable architecture behind every Muon mission.

This position is hybrid and requires working on-site in our San Jose, CA office three days per week.
What you will do
- Own spacecraft platform architecture and its evolution across the mission portfolio.
- Partner with BD, Product, and Engineering to ensure platform architectures align with product roadmaps and near-term customer missions
- Lead cross-disciplinary system trades (mass, power, thermal, data, cost) and platform requirements development and flow-down.
