About the Role

NewOrbit Space is a pioneering company that is pushing the boundaries of satellite technology. We are seeking a highly skilled Physicist to join our team and contribute to the development of our air-breathing electric propulsion system.

The successful candidate will have a strong background in rarefied gas dynamics and kinetic theory, with experience in modeling and simulating rarefied gas behavior. They will be responsible for conducting research on the behavior of gasses in rarefied conditions, developing and implementing advanced computational models, and designing and conducting experiments to validate theoretical models and simulations.

The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. in Physics, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field, with a strong focus on rarefied gas dynamics, kinetic theory, or related areas. They will also have proven experience in modeling and simulating rarefied gas dynamics, particularly in aerospace or related fields, and proficiency in numerical simulation techniques, particularly DSMC, and experience with relevant software tools and programming languages.

We offer a competitive salary and company ownership stakes, rewarding dedication and hard work with a tangible stake in the company's success. Our interview process consists of four stages, including a call with Alex, two interviews with our founders, Anatolii and Ruslan, and a set of technical tasks to be completed and reviewed during the final interview.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Conduct research on the behavior of gasses in rarefied conditions
  • Develop and implement advanced computational models
  • Design and conduct experiments to validate theoretical models and simulations
  • Analyze and model the thermal effects of rarefied gas interactions within the propulsion system

Requirements:

  • Ph.D. in Physics, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field
  • Proven experience in modeling and simulating rarefied gas dynamics
  • Proficiency in numerical simulation techniques, particularly DSMC
  • Hands-on experience with experimental setups for studying rarefied gas behavior
