Job Description

Electronics Engineer for Electric Propulsion

Role Summary

This is an extraordinary opportunity to join a rapidly growing space startup company and play a key role in the development of NewOrbit’s cutting-edge electric propulsion technology.

We are seeking for Electronics Engineers to design and build analogue and digital electronic circuits for sensing, communicating and controlling various subsystems of the air-breathing propulsion system under development.

About NewOrbit

NewOrbit is developing the first air-breathing electric propulsion (ABEP) satellite, which will operate at ultra-low Earth orbit (ULEO). ULEO is a range of altitudes under 250 km, which is three times closer to Earth than the current lowest operational altitude of traditional satellites. Operating at ULEO comes with game-changing benefits to most satellite applications.

ULEO has not yet been exploited since it requires using a propulsion system to counteract drag from air particles present at these altitudes, and 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. NewOrbit has developed an air-breathing electric propulsion system that is capable of counteracting ULEO drag, and is scheduled to perform the first proof-of-concept mission next year.

The Role

We are seeking for enthusiastic, creative and hard-working world-class experts in the field of electronics to work alongside our power and propulsion scientists and engineers on developing electronic systems for real-time monitoring, control and communication for our flagship ULEO satellite and our pioneering mission to ultra-low Earth orbit. Applicants should be capable of designing circuits from scratch and take its total ownership, covering design testing, debugging and optimisation.

Requirements

  1. Excellent understanding of the fundamentals (theory and practice) of digital and analogue electronics, and control.
  2. An MEng, MSc, or preferably a PhD in electronics or a relevant field.
  3. Be capable of designing, developing and testing circuits involving FPGAs and MCUs from scratch, with little supervision or assistance.
  4. Experience in digital signal processing, preferably in an FPGA environment.
  5. Experience implementing complex control algorithms in FPGA/MCU environments.
  6. The role requires designing, building and testing hardware, and therefore requires experience using lab equipment.
  7. PCB design, schematic and layout (preferable using Altium) is a big plus.
  8. Experience in the aerospace industry is preferable.
  9. As a member of an early-stage startup, you will be expected to actively participate in the daily operation, growth, and R&D planning of the company.

Why NewOrbit

1. Pioneering Space Technology Join NewOrbit and contribute to launching groundbreaking technology into space next year. Your work on our 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 contributions 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.
