We're hiring a Muon Beamline Engineer to own how our muon beam travels from converter to scanned object. You'll design capture and transport optics, model shielding against background without a full Geant4 run on every iteration, and carry that work from today's PRIMA beamline to our own LPA-based muon source. Direct ownership of the physical link between muon production and the image.The role\nAs Muon Beamline Engineer, you'll own how the muon beam gets from converter to scanned object. That spans capture, transport, and shielding. You will:Develop concepts for efficient muon capture and controllable transport. Start with our current beamline's 35° tunnel bend. Extend the work to our own LPA-based muon source next.\nDevelop a holistic model for beamline shielding. More shielding cuts background, but it cuts muon signal too. Treat that tradeoff as the core design constraint. Account for scattering in the converter and shielding, without a full G4 run on every design iteration.\nBuild fast simulation tools for beamline optimization. Use them on today's beamline and on our LPA-based one.\nOptimize the beamline's collection and transport optics. The configuration comes out of one design study: permanent magnets vs electromagnets, weighed on achievable field strength, demagnetization risk, cost, supply chain reliability, serviceability, and tunability. Lead the procurement that follows from that decision.\nWhat you'll bring\nGEANT4 fluency. Our full-scale reference models run in G4. You validate your fast models against it directly.\nShielding and background physics. You know what shielding stops gamma, electron/positron, and neutron background. You know that more shielding also cuts muon signal. You treat that tradeoff as the central design constraint, not an afterthought.\nBeam optics experience. You've designed magnetic transport lines inside constrained geometries, like a 35° tunnel bend. Our beam is polychromatic, with energy spread well above the sub-percent level standard optics assume. You design for the chromaticity that creates, not around it.\nFast-model development. Our energy spread means numerically integrating every particle's path through the real fields. You've built faster approximations before. You've proven they hold up.\nRadiation-aware magnet engineering. Neutron flux demagnetizes permanent magnets. You weigh that against cost, tunability, and supply chain when picking and procuring magnets.\nHow we work\nSkunkworks approach: We work in small teams with full ownership. We keep it simple, stupid.\nMove fast: a shiny prototype means we spent too long on it. We build to learn. We polish later.\nDisagree together, commit together: we debate and challenge, regardless of title. Then we deliver the decision as one team. We win as a team. We pivot as a team.\nCourage: we always make the call. A mistake isn't a failure: it's proof we're improving. Either way, we own the outcome.\nHonesty and transparency: we share what's really happening, good or bad. That lets everyone make the right call. We stay open. We stay honest.\nWhat we offer\nImpact: you'll own the physical link between muon production and the image. Every efficiency gain you find becomes scan time, resolution, or both.\nPace: your beamline design reaches a real experiment fast. Within a few years, that work is inside a shipped product, not a paper.\nNetwork: research collaborators include DESY, DLR, CERN, and Imperial College London. Commercial partners include Siemens Energy, Airbus, Caelora, and ZAL.\nInfrastructure: MuRay has on-demand time at multi-GeV beamlines, including DESY's PRIMA. Collaboration pathways extend to ELI Beamlines, EPAC, and ATLAS.\nOwnership: an equity plan gives you a meaningful stake in the company.\nCompensation: a salary that reflects your contribution to MuRay's growth.\nRelocation: we support your move. If you're relocating from outside the EU, we help with the paperwork.\nContact\nFor any additional questions, feel free to reach out to  or apply directly through our application form!We are looking forward to hearing from you.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4154,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["3D Printers & Additive Manufacturing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-07T14:36:36Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":22,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.488,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":35,"expected_fill_days":21,"reasons":["conf:33","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T06:34:16Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/muray-muon-beamline-engineer-mfd","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/muray-muon-beamline-engineer-mfd.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T07:57:09Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":9133,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3875867},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3875867"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmuray-muon-beamline-engineer-mfd"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmuray-muon-beamline-engineer-mfd"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmuray-muon-beamline-engineer-mfd"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/muray-muon-beamline-engineer-mfd\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmuray-muon-beamline-engineer-mfd"}]}
