About the role

About the role Muon seeks a Senior Mechanical Engineer who pairs strong design skills with a deep analysis background to join our new Solar & Deployables hardware group. You'll design the deployable structures that carry our solar arrays — mission-critical, single-point-failure hardware — and own the structural, dynamic, and thermoelastic analyses that prove those designs will survive launch and perform on orbit. Design and analysis go hand-in-hand in this role: the engineer who designs the hardware is the engineer who understands its margins.
