Senior Software Engineer, Hardware Test

About the role

Muon seeks a Senior Software Engineer to join our Hardware Reliability & Test organization as the technical lead for our hardware test frameworks — the software, standards, results databases, and tooling used to test Muon hardware from module level through fully assembled spacecraft.  The ideal candidate is a hands-on engineer who bridges hardware and software: equally comfortable architecting clean Python frameworks and debugging test instruments at the bench.

This position is hybrid and requires working on-site in our San Jose, CA office three days per week.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the technical lead for Muon's hardware test frameworks: own architecture, standards, and the technical roadmap
• Design and build Python-based test frameworks and tooling used from module-level through fully assembled spacecraft testing
• Write drivers and abstractions for test instruments and ground support equipment (power supplies, DAQs, oscilloscopes, environmental chambers, RF test equipment)
• Architect test results databases and user interfaces, selecting the right technologies for Muon's scale
• Build standard, shared spacecraft-level tests that can be tailored per mission
• Pa
