Job Description

Electronics Engineer for Electric Propulsion


Role Summary


This is an exciting opportunity to join a rapidly growing space startup company and play a key role in the development of air-breathing electric propulsion technology. We are seeking for enthusiastic, creative and hard-working electronic engineers to join our power and propulsion scientists and engineers in the development of our flagship satellite to ultra-low Earth Orbit (ULEO).


Applicants should be able to design, build and test electronic circuits for sensing, real-time monitoring, communicating and controlling various subsystems of the air-breathingpropulsion system from the ground-up.


Fundamental Requirements:


  • Excellent understanding of the fundamentals (theory and practice) of digital and analogue electronics and control
  • An advanced university degree MEng, MSc, or preferably a PhD in electronics or a relevant field
  • Applicants will be assessed in line with relevant work experience.
  • Be capable of designing, developing, testing and troubleshooting circuits involving
  • FPGAs and MCUs from scratch, with little supervision and assistance.
  • Experience using electronics lab equipment (oscilloscopes, network analysers etc)
  • Excellent communication, leadership and team-working skills
  • Enthusiasm to be involved in groundbreaking space science


Additional requirements:


  • Research and development projects (PhD research is considered).
  • Digital signal processing in noisy environments, preferably with
  • FPGAs.
  • Implementing complex control algorithms using FPGAs, MCUs etc.
  • PID control tuning.
  • PCB design, schematic and layout (preferable using Altium).
  • Experience in the aerospace industry is preferable.


About NewOrbit Space


NewOrbit is developing the first air-breathing electric propulsion (ABEP) system to be trialled in ULEO. Operating in ULEO comes with game-changing benefits to most satellite applications; however, it hasn’t been exploited yet, since a propulsion system to counteract drag from air particles present at these altitudes is required. Practically, for years-long missions, this can only be achieved using these air particles already present in space as the propellent for the propulsion system.


We are aiming to perform the first proof-of-concept mission next year.


Why NewOrbit?


  • Pioneering Space Technology: Join NewOrbit and contribute to launching groundbreaking technology into space next year. Your work on our air-breathing propulsion system will redefine satellite operations in ultra-low Earth orbits.
  • Unmatched ownership and impact: You'll experience a level of input that's rare in this industry. You’ll participate in the full lifecycle of satellite technology development and face diverse challenges in preparing our propulsion system for space
  • Join an exceptional team: Work with some of the brightest scientists and engineers in the space technology sector.
  • Great culture: You’ll be part of an exciting, collaborative work culture with engineering at heart.
  • Equity and competitive salary: NewOrbit offers competitive salaries and company ownership stakes. Dedication and hard work are rewarded with a stake in the business you are helping to build.
