Muon Space
Environmental Test Technician
Muon seeks an experienced Environmental Test Technician with a strong affinity toward multidisciplinary testing, test development, and problem solving. This role will work hand-in-hand with multidisciplinary engineers while supporting satellite hardware testing throughout the design and build processes. The ideal candidate is highly skilled with mechanical trades, hands-on, flexible, a quick learner, works well in a fast-paced environment, and is highly self-motivated. Responsibilities
Commission, evaluate, monitor, and maintain space simulation test equipment (Thermal, Thermal Vacuum, Vibration, EMI/EMC) Assemble, commission and troubleshoot supporting equipment and test racks to increase test lab capability and unit test quality Assist engineering and AI&T teams in preparing for and executing structural test for a variety of large- and small-scale structural and mechanical satellite components Instrument and test satellite flight hardware throughout development, production, and on-orbit correlation testing phases Work with engineering and facilities engineering to plan for, build out, and commission test equipment (mechanical assemblies, gas, cooling water, cryogenic fluid systems, etc.) Install, maintain, troubleshoot and repair instrumentation and harnessing (e.g. pressure transducers, flowmeters, temperature sensors, accelerometers and strain gauges) Support rapid test turnarounds, hardware logistics, and reconfiguration efforts in a startup-paced production environment. Qualifications
Associate degree or equivalent experience 3+ years experience conducting structural vibration/shock tests on spacecraft, aircraft, or similar high reliability systems 3+ years of hands on experience with mechanical/structural/fluid/electrical systems Experience in research and development or other fast-paced technical environment Ability to solve complex problems with minimal supervision on tight schedules Experience with rigging, cranes, and lift operations Strong computer skills, including experience with Google Workspace or Microsoft Office and the ability to navigate and manipulate files Nice-to-have Skills
Familiarity with test standards (e.g., GEVS, MIL-STD, NASA-STD) and interpreting engineering drawings or test requirements. Experience with thermal vacuum and vacuum test equipment Experience with evaluation and testing of propulsion, thermal, electrical or structural systems Experience using oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, power supplies, and soldering equipment Ability to fabricate and repair cable harnesses including: soldering, crimping, assembling connectors Knowledge/experience with cryogenic systems Knowledge of various fittings (NPT, MS, AN, Swagelok, medium pressure) Salary
The non-exempt hourly range for this role is $61 - $89 and will depend on a candidate's skills, qualifications, and experience as defined during the interview process.
