**About NewOrbit Space**

NewOrbit Space is a rapidly growing space startup dedicated to developing cutting-edge satellite technology. We are seeking a skilled and motivated ADCS Engineer to lead the design, implementation, testing, and operation of ADCS systems for our satellites, including those intended for Ultra-Low Earth Orbit (ULEO) missions.

Key Responsibilities
  • **Simulation and Modeling**: Perform detailed sensor and actuator characterization, modeling, and simulation to predict system performance and optimize the design.
  • **Testing and Validation**: Develop and execute hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) tests, ground-based simulations, and in-orbit commissioning to validate ADCS performance. Troubleshoot and resolve issues during the integration and testing phases.
  • **On-Orbit Operations**: Support on-orbit guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) system calibration, commissioning, and operations, including maneuver planning and fault management.
  • **Documentation and Reporting**: Produce and maintain detailed documentation for ADCS design, development, testing, and operations.
Requirements
  1. **Educational Background**: Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. A Master's degree is preferred.
  2. **Industry Experience**: Minimum of 2-5 years of experience in spacecraft attitude determination and control, with hands-on experience in the development, testing, and operation of ADCS systems.
  3. **Programming Skills**: Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems development, with experience in Python and MATLAB for simulation and data processing. Ability to conduct detailed trade-off analyses to optimize ADCS design.
  4. **Simulation and Testing**: Experience with hardware-in-the-loop testing, satellite simulation, and ADCS algorithm validation.
  5. **Innovation and Problem-Solving**: A creative and analytical mindset, with the ability to solve complex technical challenges and propose innovative solutions.
  6. **Impact and Ownership**: Experience a rare level of involvement in the full lifecycle of satellite technology development, with opportunities to influence mission-critical systems.
  7. **Equity and Competitive Salary**: NewOrbit Space offers competitive salaries and company ownership stakes, rewarding dedication and hard work with a tangible stake in the company's success.
