Director, Real Estate & Facilities

About the role

Muon seeks a Director of Facilities to lead the team responsible for the infrastructure that our spacecraft are designed, built, and tested on. You will own the strategy, capital plan, and day-to-day performance of every facility Muon operates — from cleanroom and AIT space to environmental test infrastructure, critical power and process utilities. This is a hands-on executive role: you will set multi-year site and capacity strategy with the leadership team, defend and manage a capital and operating budget, and then personally drive the projects and vendor relationships that deliver it. You will build and develop the facilities engineering and maintenance organization and act as the single accountable owner for facility uptime against an aggressive spacecraft production ramp. Success in this role looks like spacecraft production never waiting on the building.

This position is fully onsite and requires working in our San Jose, CA office five days a week.
