SystemsEngineer,MissionSuccess&Performance

About the role Muon seeks a Systems Engineer, Mission Success you will ruthlessly prioritize engineering efforts, balancing the need to fix painful internal processes against the drive to improve gross margins and overarching business outcomes. Responsibilities Enable the Muon Mission Foundry by driving processes and architectural decisions that allow Muon to scale spacecraft production and mission operations reliably and repeatably, moving beyond legacy quality assurance paradigms. Partner with Mission Systems Engineers to own and track V&V compliance, verification progress, and test coverage campaigns. Streamline AI&T workflows by identifying V&V bottlenecks and championing pragmatic Test Like You Fly (TLYF) standards. Analyze on-orbit telemetry and platform operations to squeeze maximum utility and capacity out of deployed assets Drive predictable outcomes by ensuring on-orbit performance closely matches pre-flight models, understanding and proving the accuracy of the specifications we sell to customers. Actively close the loop by feeding on-orbit performance data back into the early-phase design of the next platform iteration. A tactical focus on increasing autonomy and resilience of our platforms, driving efforts that maximize customer uptime while minimizing the number of operators Act as a key technical stakeholder supporting product roadmaps for internal tooling (e.g., MuSim, power analysis, data throughput), and utilizing your own software skills to build upon and extend baseline code, ensuring the tools enable the scaling of the Foundry. Business-Driven "Right-Sizing": Make pragmatic decisions that balance engineering pain points against direct business outcomes, prioritizing work that moves the needle on revenue over simply policing internal processes. Qualifications M. S. or higher degree in an engineering field plus 8+ years of experience working in a multi-disciplinary environment, ideally with exposure to mission design, spacecraft operations, and sys
