Remote Staff Software Engineer - Simulation Systems

About the Role

We are looking for a Remote Staff Software Engineer to lead our simulation systems at Muon Space. Simulation is a core piece of how we get things done, and as a key player in our team, you will enable simulation as a vital component in the planning, development, production, and scaling of our spacecraft hardware and software. This is an exciting opportunity to work on high-fidelity simulations that directly impact spacecraft design and operations.

What You'll Do

• Lead the simulation vision at Muon and ensure its integration into all phases of spacecraft development.
• Develop high fidelity simulations of spacecraft hardware and software interactions with the physical environment.
• Scale simulations to operate on demand in a massively parallel cloud environment, simulating a wide range of scenarios.
• Oversee the integration of simulation in various systems including software-in-the-loop, hardware-in-the-loop, and operations-in-the-loop.
• Define requirements for major simulation software initiatives and execute on them effectively.
• Push the boundaries of spacecraft simulation, keeping Muon at the forefront of advanced design and operational capabilities.

Requirements

• Minimum of 8 years of experience in software engineering and simulation.
• Substantial experience modeling different classes of dynamics across mechanical, electrical, and aerospace engineering.
• Ability to apply various modeling philosophies including data-driven, first-principle, and parameter-fitting.
• Broad knowledge of computational mathematics: differential equations, statistics, optimization, and geometry.
• Expertise in distributed system design, cloud computing, and API design.
• A deep understanding of numerical methods and high productivity in a fast-paced environment.

Nice to Have

• Experience with spacecraft systems and operations.
• Familiarity with advanced simulation tools and technologies.
• Strong collaboration skills in multidisciplinary teams.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary ranging from $120,000 to $160,000 per year.
• Fully remote work environment, allowing you to work from anywhere.
• Opportunities for professional growth and development.
• Collaborative and innovative work culture.
• Health and wellness benefits.
