About the Role

This is a unique opportunity to join NewOrbit Space, a rapidly growing space startup, and contribute to the development of cutting-edge satellite propulsion technology. We are seeking a highly skilled Physicist specialized in rarefied gas dynamics to lead the research and development efforts related to our air-breathing electric propulsion system for our satellites operating in Ultra-Low Earth Orbit (ULEO).

Key Responsibilities
  • Apply expertise in rarefied gas dynamics to optimize the interaction between the satellite's air-breathing propulsion system and the sparse atmospheric particles at ULEO altitudes, ensuring efficient propulsion performance and contributing to the success of long-duration satellite missions.
  • Conduct in-depth research on the behavior of gases in rarefied conditions, applying kinetic theory and statistical mechanics to model gas flow and interaction with satellite surfaces.
  • Investigate gas-surface interactions within our propulsion system to enhance material selection and surface design for optimal performance.
Requirements
  • Ph.D. in Physics, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field, with a strong focus on rarefied gas dynamics, kinetic theory, or related areas.
  • Proven experience in modeling and simulating rarefied gas dynamics, particularly in aerospace or related fields.
  • Proficiency in numerical simulation techniques, particularly DSMC, and experience with relevant software tools and programming languages (e.g., MATLAB, Python, C++).
What We Offer
  • Competitive salary and company ownership stakes, rewarding dedication and hard work with a tangible stake in the company's success.
  • Opportunities to influence mission-critical systems and experience a rare level of involvement in the full lifecycle of satellite technology development.
