Job summary

Muon Space in San Jose seeks a Manufacturing Engineer to join the Testbeds & EGSE team, owning procedures and the knowledge-base that makes builds repeatable across missions.

You’ll work hands-on with hardware, read schematics, and document software-driven test flows, shadowing engineers and technicians on the floor to capture steps at the source. This onsite role emphasizes rigorous documentation and cross-functional collaboration.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in manufacturing, test, or hardware engineering with ownership of procedures and documentation.
• Electrical engineering or embedded software background with the ability to read schematics, block diagrams, and software-driven test flows.
• Excellent technical writing skills: 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, with experience administering documentation, PLM, or knowledge-base tools.
• Excellent communication and cross-functional coordination skills.
• B.S. 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.
• Shadow engineering builds to capture steps at the source.
• Keep existing procedures current as designs evolve, driving updates to closure.
• Own the team's internal knowledge base and keep it authoritative.
• Maintain testbed block diagrams and system documentation as configurations change.
• Own HITL maintenance communications: announcements, downtime coordination, and status updates.
• Assist and iterate on procedures with technicians on the floor until proven, and train the team on documentation standards.
• Identify process and buildability improvements from build feedback and channel design-for-assembly input back to design engineers.
