Muon Space is seeking an Engineering Manager to lead the Compute Components team within the High Performance Compute (HPC) organization. This is a people-management role responsible for leading engineers who build FPGA and GPU compute blocks powering Muon spacecraft.
Key responsibilities include:
- Serve as an empathetic, hands-on people manager: conduct 1:1s, own performance and career development, and foster healthy team culture
- Partner with the Staff Architect and Platform Engineer to translate architecture and roadmap into predictable, high-quality deliveries
- Clear blockers and shield the team from organizational overhead so engineers can focus on building
- Own the team's design-flow robustness by strengthening module and integration testing practices to reduce rework and late-cycle surprises
- Maintain and continuously improve technical environments including build systems, simulation, lab benches, and delivery pipelines
- Support hiring efforts including sourcing, interviewing, and closing candidates to scale the team responsibly
- Partner with technical leadership on direction and planning while managing roadmap tracking and reporting
- Support long-term team scaling through structure, mentorships, and knowledge sharing
Required qualifications include a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field. You'll need 3+ years of engineering management experience built on a solid individual contributor background in FPGA, embedded, GPU, or hardware-adjacent software engineering. Direct hands-on implementation experience in FPGA, GPU, or software development is essential, along with a track record of shipping complex hardware-integrated systems on time and to quality. You must demonstrate ability to grow and retain engineering talent, strong knowledge of modern engineering delivery practices (design reviews, testing, delivery pipelines, incident review), and excellent communication skills.
Nice-to-have skills include extensive hands-on FPGA/GPU/embedded compute background, experience managing teams in space/aerospace/mission-critical environments, and experience scaling teams through growth phases.
The role is hybrid, requiring three days per week on-site in San Jose, CA. This position reports to the head of the HPC team.
