At Muon Space, we are building a world‑class team to transform data from our custom low‑Earth orbit satellite constellation into high‑value insights.
We are looking for an expert RF Signal Processing Specialist to join our Science Team. You will be the crucial link between our satellite instruments and our data products, architecting the algorithms that turn raw RF signals into high‑quality, low‑latency scientific data. You will work cross‑functionally with our instrument engineering and data systems teams to master the end‑to‑end data flow, ensuring the integrity and speed of our data pipelines.
While your initial focus will be on RF instruments, you will also get opportunities to apply your skills across a variety of sensor data as our constellation grows. If you thrive on complex challenges and want to build the future of Earth observation, we want to hear from you.
Responsibilities
Support the algorithmic and software development of data processing pipelines
Build operational data products from remote sensing observations
Work with scientists and the data team to continually refine data products
Willingness to learn new topics as needed (measurements techniques, retrieval concepts, data platforms/tools, etc.)
Qualifications
Experience with digital signal processing techniques related to RF instruments
Experience processing wide band RF scenes for applications related to spectrum monitoring and signal intelligence.
Exceptional skills in python‑based development and analysis
Familiarity with modern software development tooling and best practices
Ability to work with a distributed, interdisciplinary team (scientists, engineers, data support, all working at different locations)
Preferred Qualifications
Familiarity with software defined radio
Experience leveraging open source software tools (e.g. GNURadio) to accelerate development
Experience processing a variety of RF wireless communication standards
Experience processing RF signals observed from LEO
Experience with problems requiring precision timing
Experience with geolocation of RF transmitters
Familiar with the principles of measurement and estimation theory
Familiarity with cloud native systems (AWS, Flyte)
The salary range for this role is $130,000 - $194,000 plus a competitive equity grant and comprehensive benefits package. Final compensation will be based on skills, qualifications, experience, and geographic location as assessed during the interview process.
