Ground Software Engineer

<h1>About the role</h1><p>Muon seeks a Senior Systems Engineer to join our spacecraft engineering team in Mountain View, CA.  At Muon, we are developing multiple missions to help understand and act on climate impacts. In this role you will span the full lifecycle of spacecraft design - from initial formulation with the Business Development team, through execution with the spacecraft hardware and software teams, to on-orbit validation and mission performance monitoring with the Operations team. You will be responsible for interacting with customers and cross functional team leads to develop requirements and ICDs, work with other Systems Engineers to perform system modeling, develop test plans with AI&amp;T teams, and identify and reduce risk across the program with Technical Program Managers. Muon is a lean and agile team, so keys to success in this role are your ability to “right-size” analysis and processes for differing levels of system maturity and risk, your flexibility to work with changing demands and schedules, and your effective communication of technical content to a diverse audience.
