We're hiring a Muon Tomography Engineer to build the algorithms that turn raw track data into 3D density reconstructions for our Active Muon Imaging system. You'll take reconstruction from POCA and ASR through to likelihood-optimization methods, fuse in optical priors, and solve the statistics of high-flux track pile-up. Direct ownership of the tool a customer's pass/fail decision runs on.The role\nAs Muon Tomography Engineer, you'll own how raw track data becomes a 3D density reconstruction. That spans algorithm development, multi-modal data fusion, and the statistical methods that make it work at scale. Concretely, you will:Implement density reconstruction methods, taking inspiration from likelihood-optimization-based methods. Package the result as a standalone tool.\nExplore adaptive reconstruction grids to reduce memory requirements and increase reconstruction speed.\nOptimise reconstructionalgorithms to leverage the muon beam's narrow energy bandwidth, using spectral width as a per-track error estimate.\nExplore fusing optical images of the scan volume and DUT geometry into the reconstruction, as constraints that further limit the solution space.\nDevelop statistical methods to resolve track pile-up at high muon flux, where one-track-at-a-time assumptions break down.\nWhat you'll bring\nTomographic reconstruction expertise. You've implemented POCA, ASR, or comparable scattering-tomography algorithms. You move to likelihood optimization when point-based methods run out of accuracy.\nNumerical methods for performance. You've built adaptive or multi-resolution grids before. You've traded resolution against memory and speed to do it.\nUncertainty modeling. You turn a beam's energy spectrum into a per-track error weight, not a single global constant.\nMulti-modal data fusion. You've combined tomographic data with an external prior before, like an optical image or object geometry. You've used it as a hard constraint on the solution, not just a reference.\nHigh-flux track statistics. You've solved pile-up or hit-ambiguity problems in tracking detectors before, where more than one particle can be in the detector at once.\nProduction software engineering. You take a reconstruction method from research code to a maintained, standalone tool with a fixed input/output format.\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 own the tool that turns raw tracks into density maps. That output is what a customer bases a decision on: pass or fail, repair or replace.\nPace: commercial scanning services launch within a year. Your reconstruction tool makes that possible from day one.\nData: MuRay has on-demand time at multi-GeV beamlines, including DESY's PRIMA. That gives you dense, controlled-source track data to develop and validate against.\nNetwork: research collaborators include DESY, DLR, CERN, and Imperial College London. Commercial partners include Siemens Energy, Airbus, Caelora, and ZAL.\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":4006,"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":34,"expected_fill_days":20,"reasons":["conf:8","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-13T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/muray-muon-tomography-engineer-mfd","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/muray-muon-tomography-engineer-mfd.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-13T10:52:16Z","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":16733,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-14T00:00:00Z"}},"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-tomography-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-tomography-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-tomography-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-tomography-engineer-mfd\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmuray-muon-tomography-engineer-mfd"}]}
