About the role
Simulation is a core piece of how Muon gets things done. We have a simulation ecosystem thatâs used for systems engineering, GNC (Guidance, Navigation and Control) development, operations planning, ground system planning, spacecraft scheduling, model fitting, flight software testing, and hardware testing. The same power model used when proposing a vehicle design to a customer is what weâll use when running hardware-in-the-loop on nightlies of flight software once we have the real hardware in house, and itâs the same system the automated scheduler will use when deciding if a schedule is power-positive. Leading the development of a system this flexible is a challenge with a lot of leverage.
Responsibilities
Lead the simulation vision at Muon and enable simulation as a key component in the planning, development, production, and scaling of the hardware and software components of running spacecraft
Develop high fidelity simulation of spacecraft hardware and software and how they interact with the physical environment
Scale simulation to work on demand in a massively parallel cloud environment to simulate a broad range of scenarios
Oversee the integration of simulation in other systems: software-in-the-loop, hardware-in-the-loop, operations-in-the-loop, scheduling, maneuver planning, ground system planning, monitoring and mission analysis
Define requirements for, propose, design, scope, plan, and execute on major simulation software initiatives
Push the boundaries of the state of the art in spacecraft simulation, developing systems that can keep Muon at the forefront of advanced spacecraft design and operation
Required Qualifications
Minimum of 8 years of experience
Substantial experience modeling different classes of dynamics across mechanical, electrical, and aerospace engineering
Ability to apply different modeling philosophies as-needed including data-driven, first-principle, and parameter-fitting
Broad knowledge of computational mathematics: differential equations, statistics, optimization, and geometry
Software engineering expertise in distributed system design, cloud computing, API design, web APIs and reusable components
A deep understanding of numerical methods
High productivity in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment with many collaborating teams
