  • 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.
