About NewOrbit Space

NewOrbit Space is a pioneering company developing revolutionary air-breathing ion propulsion systems that enable satellites to operate in ultra-low Earth orbits. Our mission is to unlock new possibilities in space exploration and global connectivity.

Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Thermal Control Systems Specialist to join our team. As a key member of our engineering team, you will play a crucial role in designing and implementing the thermal control system of our spacecraft and air-breathing propulsion system.

Key Responsibilities
  • Perform steady-state and transient thermal analysis of spacecraft thermal systems and track system performance during ground operations, TVAC testing, launch, and Earth orbit.
  • Advise hardware development teams on design decisions, leveraging your expertise in materials, thermal properties, and thermal dissipation approaches.
  • Develop thermal systems, including system architecture definition, thermal system modeling, component sizing, and design.
  • Provide thermal engineering leadership and support for developing thermal vacuum (TVAC) test procedures, scripts, and installation designs.
  • Collaborate with mechanical and electronics engineers to ensure the stable operation of our satellite and engine, with temperatures exceeding 300°C.
Requirements
  • Understanding of the fundamentals (theory and practice) of thermal control design for satellites.
  • Proficiency in FEM analysis tools (e.g., Ansys) and experience with programming languages.
  • Extensive experience using lab equipment.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and contribute to the daily operation, growth, and R&D planning of the company.
What We Offer

NewOrbit Space offers a competitive salary, equity, and the opportunity to work on a groundbreaking technology that will redefine satellite operations in ultra-low Earth orbits. As a member of our team, you will have the chance to contribute to a historic space mission that will leave a lasting legacy in space exploration.
