As this infrastructure scales across more missions, its repeatability lives or dies on documentation - and this role owns it: the procedures that make builds repeatable, and the knowledge base that makes the whole system understandable.\nYou'll bring an electrical or embedded software background strong enough to understand the systems you document - reading schematics and block diagrams, and following software-driven test flows. You'll stay close to the hardware: shadowing engineering builds, assisting on the floor, and iterating procedures side-by-side with the technicians who run them.\nDue to the hands-on nature of this role, it requires onsite work at our San Jose location 5x days a week.\nResponsibilities\nOwn the team's procedure and work-instruction system, including templates, standards, and the release process\nWrite new assembly, checkout, and maintenance procedures for testbeds and EGSE - shadowing engineering builds to capture steps at the source\nKeep existing procedures current as designs evolve, driving redlines and updates to closure\nOwn the team's internal knowledge base: structure it, maintain it, and keep it authoritative\nMaintain testbed block diagrams and system documentation as configurations change across missions\nOwn HITL maintenance communications: announcements, downtime coordination, and status updates to the teams that depend on testbed availability\nAssist and iterate on procedures with technicians on the floor until they're proven, and train the team on documentation standards\nIdentify process and buildability improvements from build feedback, and channel design-for-assembly input back to the design engineers\nRequired Qualifications\n5+ years of experience in manufacturing, test, or hardware engineering, with significant ownership of procedures, work instructions, or engineering documentation\nElectrical engineering or embedded software background, with the ability to read schematics, block diagrams, and software-driven test flows\nExcellent technical writing skills: clear, precise, and usable by someone other than the author\nHands-on hardware fluency: comfortable at a bench with assemblies, harnesses, and basic test equipment\nSystematic and organized, with experience administering documentation, PLM, or knowledge-base tools\nExcellent communication and cross-functional coordination skills\nB.S. in an engineering discipline or equivalent hands-on experience\nNice-to-have Skills\nExperience in HITL, test lab, or production test environments\nExperience standing up documentation systems or templates from scratch\nFamiliarity with knowledge-base and PLM platforms (e.g., Confluence, Duro, or similar)\nScripting skills (Python or similar) for documentation automation or diagram generation\nAerospace or other high-reliability industry experience\nFamiliar with a Linux development environment\nSalary\nThe salary range for this role is $159,000 - $178,000, plus a competitive equity grant and comprehensive benefits package. Final compensation will be determined based on skills, qualifications, experience, and geographic location as assessed during the interview process. \nAbout Muon Space\nFounded in 2021, Muon Space is an end-to-end Space Systems Provider that designs, builds, and operates LEO satellite constellations delivering mission-critical data.
