Electronics Engineer for Electric Propulsion

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the development of air-breathing electric propulsion technology at NewOrbit Space.

We are seeking a skilled Electronics Engineer to join our team of power and propulsion scientists and engineers in the development of our flagship satellite to ultra-low Earth Orbit (ULEO).

The successful candidate will design, build, and test electronic circuits for sensing, real-time monitoring, communicating, and controlling various subsystems of the air-breathing propulsion system from the ground-up.

Fundamental Requirements:

  • Excellent understanding of digital and analogue electronics, and control.
  • Advanced university degree in electronics or a relevant field.
  • Ability to design, develop, test, and troubleshoot circuits involving FPGAs and MCUs with minimal supervision.
  • Experience using electronics lab equipment (oscilloscopes, network analysers, etc.).
  • Excellent communication, leadership, and team-working skills.

Additional Requirements:

  • Research and development projects (PhD research is considered). Digital signal processing in noisy environments, preferably with FPGAs.
  • Implementing complex control algorithms using FPGAs, MCUs, etc.
  • Experience with PID control tuning.
  • PCB design, schematic, and layout (preferable using Altium).

About NewOrbit Space

NewOrbit is developing the first air-breathing electric propulsion (ABEP) system to be trialled in ULEO. Our technology has game-changing benefits to most satellite applications, but it hasn't been exploited yet due to the lack of a propulsion system to counteract drag from air particles present at these altitudes.

We are aiming to perform the first proof-of-concept mission next year.

Why NewOrbit

Pioneering Space Technology: Join NewOrbit and contribute to launching groundbreaking technology into space next year. Your work on our air-breathing propulsion system will redefine satellite operations in ultra-low Earth orbits.

Unmatched ownership and impact: You'll experience a level of input that's rare in this industry. You'll participate in the full lifecycle of satellite technology development and face diverse challenges in preparing our propulsion system for space.

Join an exceptional team: Work with some of the brightest scientists and engineers in the space technology sector.

Great culture: You'll be part of an exciting, collaborative work culture with engineering at heart.

Equity and competitive salary: NewOrbit offers competitive salaries and company ownership stakes. Dedication and hard work are rewarded with a stake in the business you are helping to build.
