Security Engineering Intern (Summer 2027)

Summer internships will range between the months of May and September depending on university schedules. Internship is full-time and on-site in Mountain View, CA.

The Security team at Muon protects the systems, data, and infrastructure behind everything we build — from engineer laptops to the cloud and on-prem systems that power our spacecraft programs. As a Security Engineering Intern, you will get hands-on experience with practical IT security: helping implement standard security controls, tracking down security findings, and working with the team to resolve vulnerabilities. It is a hands-on way to build real cybersecurity skills while learning how a fast-moving aerospace company keeps itself secure.

Muon is a small and fast growing startup which offers interns the experience to get direct mentorship and have real impact on our programs. As an intern, you'll collaborate with a dynamic team in a startup environment and have the chance to learn from some of the most accomplished and experienced aerospace professionals in the industry. We're committed to offering an experience where your decisions and contributions play a pivotal role in driving Muon's success.
