Reading Berkshire, United Kingdom NewOrbit Space Full time

Senior Mechanical Engineer
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. 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. 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.

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.

Please note that it’s not a usual 9-5 work and requires a lot of passion and dedication for space technology.

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., Experience in high-tolerance design, selecting manufacturers, and conducting basic quality control is essential.
# 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.
