Job Opportunity at NewOrbit Space

Role Summary

This is an exciting opportunity to join a rapidly growing space company and contribute to pioneering, cutting-edge propulsion technology unmatched anywhere in the world. Your personal responsibility will include completion of the final mission design and component-level architecture.

About NewOrbit Space

NewOrbit Space 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.

Your Role

We are seeking an enthusiastic, creative, and hard-working expert who has been involved in building satellites and missions that are currently flying in space. You will work alongside our mechanical and electronics engineers to ensure the success of our first mission. You should be capable of delivering a mission design from scratch and taking full ownership of it.

Key Responsibilities

  1. Develop and implement mission design and systems engineering expertise for satellite systems.
  2. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure successful mission execution.
  3. Design and develop satellite subsystems, including attitude control, electronics design, structures, thermal control, flight dynamics, and other areas.
  4. Conduct orbit analysis, RF link analysis, mass and power budgets, redundancy planning, single-point failure studies, operations, ground segments, space environments, and satellite mechanical and electrical architectures.
  5. Source and select components, and establish relationships with vendors.
  6. Participate in daily operations, growth, and R&D planning of the company, and contribute to the development of pioneering technology.

What We Offer

NewOrbit Space offers competitive salaries and 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.
