NewOrbit is a pioneering space technology company that is engineering the lowest-orbiting satellites on Earth to rapidly advance global connectivity and insight.
Our engineering teams are tackling one of the toughest challenges in the field: building satellites that can breathe air and operate at an altitude of just 200 km - one-third that of conventional satellites.
This requires innovative solutions to heat dissipation problems, and we are seeking an expert who has solved challenging thermal control issues for satellites.
As a Thermal Engineer for Satellite Development, you will work alongside our mechanical and electronics engineers to ensure the stable operation of our satellite and engine, with temperatures exceeding 300°C.
Responsibilities:
- Performing steady-state and transient thermal analysis of spacecraft thermal systems and tracking system performance during ground operations, TVAC testing, launch, and orbit.
- Advising hardware development teams on design decisions, with a strong understanding of materials, thermal properties, and main approaches for thermal dissipation.
- Providing thermal engineering leadership and support for developing thermal vacuum test procedures, scripts, and installation designs.
- Driving the development of thermal systems, including system architecture definition, thermal system modeling, component sizing, and design.
Fundamental Requirements:
- Understanding of the fundamentals (theory and practice) of thermal control design for satellites.
- Extensive experience using lab equipment, as this role includes a hardware-based element.
- Proficiency in FEM and thermal analysis tools (e.g., Ansys, Thermal Desktop or ESATAN)) and experience with programming languages.
Why NewOrbit?
Pioneering Space Technology Join NewOrbit and contribute to launching groundbreaking technology into space next year. Your work on our revolutionary air-breathing ion propulsion system will redefine satellite operations in ultra-low Earth orbits.
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.
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.
Application Process
Our interview process consists of four stages. The initial stage involves a call with Alex, followed by two interviews with our founders, Anatolii and Ruslan. If you progress successfully through these stages, you will be invited to complete a set of technical tasks, which will be reviewed and discussed during the fourth and final interview. If feasible, we would also like to invite you to our facilities in Reading as part of the final interview. Here you will get the chance to meet the rest of our team and tour our laboratories and office spaces.
