Senior Mechanical Engineer
Role Summary
This is an exhilarating opportunity to join a rapidly growing space company and contribute to pioneering, cutting-edge propulsion technology unmatched anywhere in the world. As a vital member of our team, you will play a crucial role in launching the world's first air-breathing ion propulsion system into orbit. Your personal responsibility will include design and manufacturing of our air-breathing ion propulsion system. Your role is vital in ensuring the flawless execution of our maiden in-orbit demonstration mission.
This is more than a job – it's a chance to write your name in one of the most important spacecraft missions in space technology, which will unlock currently inaccessible ultra-low orbits for satellites and become the world's first in-situ resource utilisation in the history of spaceflight.
About NewOrbit
NewOrbit is developing the first hybrid of an aircraft and a satellite using Air-breathing Electric Propulsion (ABEP). While aircraft operate at altitudes of up to 20km and conventional satellites above 450km, there exists no technology which can consistently operate at altitudes between 20 km and 450 km. NewOrbit addresses this by developing the first satellite capable of bridging this gap.
At NewOrbit, we have developed a revolutionary air-breathing ion propulsion system that allows satellites to operate in ultra-low Earth orbits of 180km, three times lower than the current lowest operational altitude of the satellites. This unique technology enables us to access and explore a layer of the atmosphere previously deemed inoperable.
Operating much closer to the Earth's surface offers significant improvements in observation and connectivity. This proximity allows for much better resolution in satellite imaging, enabling new applications in high-precision environmental monitoring and wildfire prevention. It also opens possibilities for global direct-to-phone satellite internet coverage, among other game-changing applications, at self-cleaning altitudes free of space debris.
Your Role
NewOrbit's flagship product is a satellite capable of operating at extremely low orbits, with the first propulsion demonstration mission coming soon. We’re looking for an experienced Senior Mechanical Engineer to lead the design and development of the next generation of our air-breathing ion propulsion system alongside other mechanical, test and simulation engineers. You need to have strong knowledge in building complex systems, CAD, drawings, tolerances and structural analysis.
You should be capable to deliver an entire subsystem from scratch and take full ownership of the design work, ensuring the success of our upcoming mission.
Please note that it’s not a usual 9-5 work and requires a lot of passion and dedication for space technology.
Who we're looking for:
- We are looking for an engineer who can design complex mechanical products from scratch.
- You need to possess exceptional skills in CAD modelling, drawing preparation, and have knowledge of manufacturing capabilities and materials.
- You should have a solid understanding of engineering principles, materials, structures, loads, joints, and other mechanical components.
- Experience in using FEM software for structural analysis (e.g., ANSYS) is required.
- Experience in high-tolerance design, selecting manufacturers, and conducting basic quality control is essential.
- Previous space experience is ideal.
- You should be accustomed to working at a high pace in a highly collaborative environment to produce rapid product iterations.
Why NewOrbit
1. Pioneering Space Technology
Join NewOrbit and contribute to launching groundbreaking technology into space next year. Your work on our revolutionary air-breathing ion propulsion system will redefine satellite operations in ultra-low Earth orbits.
2. Historical Milestone in Space Exploration
Be part of a historic space mission that will leave a lasting legacy in space exploration. Your efforts at NewOrbit will play a crucial role in this pioneering satellite mission, setting new benchmarks in earth observation and global connectivity.
3. Unmatched Ownership and Impact
At NewOrbit, you'll experience a level of ownership that's rare in the industry. You will participate in the full lifecycle of satellite technology development and face diverse challenges in preparing our propulsion for space.
4. Join Exceptional Team
Work with some of the brightest engineers in the space technology sector at NewOrbit. Our team, driven by passion and skill, provides an environment for your constant growth.
5. Equity and Competitive Salary
NewOrbit offers not just competitive salaries but also company ownership stakes. Your dedication and hard work are rewarded with a share in the pioneering technology you help build, ensuring you're a part of our collective success.
