Software engineer jobs in San Jose, CA

About the role

Muon seeks a Senior Software Engineer to join our Hardware Reliability & Test organization as the technical lead for our hardware test frameworks — the software, standards, results databases, and tooling used to test Muon hardware from module level through fully assembled spacecraft.

This position is hybrid and requires working on-site in our San Jose, CA office three days per week.

• B.S. in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or a related technical field
• 8+ years of software engineering experience, with demonstrated technical leadership of complex, multi-engineer projects
• Expert-level Python, including designing frameworks or libraries adopted by other engineering teams
• Working knowledge of electronics and lab test equipment
• comfortable debugging at the bench
• Experience with databases and building tooling and user interfaces
• Excellent communication and presentation skills
• Excited to work in a fast-paced environment with new challenges each week
• Experience testing spacecraft, launch vehicles, or other aerospace hardware
• Experience with reading & modifying embedded C/C++ applications
• Experience with hardware-in-the-loop simulation or production/acceptance test systems
