Job summary

Muon Space is seeking an Engineering Manager to lead the Compute Components team within the High Performance Compute (HPC) group. This hands-on people manager will mentor engineers, drive deliveries, and partner with architects to translate roadmaps into reliable, high-quality outputs.

You will coach, manage performance, and remove blockers while collaborating with the Platform Engineer to maintain build systems and delivery pipelines.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• 3+ years of engineering management experience on top of a solid IC background in FPGA, embedded, GPU, or hardware-adjacent software engineering.
• Direct prior hands-on implementation experience in FPGA, GPU or general software development.
• Track record of shipping complex hardware-integrated systems on time and to quality.
• Demonstrated ability to grow and retain engineering talent, including hiring, coaching, performance management, and career development.
• Strong training in modern engineering delivery practices: design reviews, unit and integration testing, delivery pipelines, incident review, and continuous improvement.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to represent the team's work and needs to executive leadership, adjacent teams, and external partners.

Responsibilities

• Be an empathetic, hands-on people manager: coach engineers, run 1:1s, own performance and career growth, and create a healthy team culture.
• Together with your team, agree on deliveries and ensure they land on time and to quality.
• Clear the path for your engineers so they can focus on building: removing blockers, absorbing organizational overhead, and shielding the team where needed.
• Own the team's design-flow robustness: strengthen module- and integration-test practices to reduce rework and late-cycle surprises.
• Ensure all of the team's technical environments (build systems, simulation, lab benches, delivery pipelines) are maintained and continuously improved, in partnership with the Platform Engineer.
• Support with hiring (sourcing, interviewing, and closing) to scale the team responsibly as the company grows.
• Partner with the Staff Architect on technical direction and with the Platform Engineer on planning, reporting, and roadmap tracking.
• Support the long-term scaling of the team: team structure, mentorships, and knowledge sharing.
