Job summary

Muon Space, Inc. is seeking a Manufacturing Engineer for the Testbeds & EGSE team in San Jose, CA. You will own documentation, procedures, and the knowledge base that enables repeatable builds for HITL testbeds and EGSE interfacing with satellites.

The role is hands-on, onsite five days a week, with a strong emphasis on documenting workflows, updating diagrams, and collaborating with technicians to ensure accuracy and efficiency across missions.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in manufacturing, test, or hardware engineering with ownership of procedures, work instructions, or engineering documentation.
• Electrical engineering or embedded software background with ability to read schematics, block diagrams, and software-driven test flows.
• Excellent technical writing: clear, precise, and usable by someone other than the author.
• Hands-on hardware fluency: comfortable at a bench with assemblies, harnesses, and basic test equipment.
• Systematic and organized; experience administering documentation, PLM, or knowledge-base tools.
• BS in an engineering discipline or equivalent hands-on experience.

Responsibilities

• Own the team's procedure and work-instruction system, including templates, standards, and the release process.
• Write new assembly, checkout, and maintenance procedures for testbeds and EGSE — shadowing engineering builds to capture steps at the source.
• Keep existing procedures current as designs evolve, driving redlines and updates to closure.
• Own the team's internal knowledge base: structure it, maintain it, and keep it authoritative.
• Maintain testbed block diagrams and system documentation as configurations change across missions.
• Own HITL maintenance communications: announcements, downtime coordination, and status updates to the teams that depend on testbed availability.
• Assist and iterate on procedures with technicians on the floor until they’re proven, and train the team on documentation standards.
• Identify process and buildability improvements from build feedback, and channel design-for-assembly input back to the design engineers.
