Role Summary

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the development of pioneering, cutting-edge propulsion technology that will revolutionize satellite operations in ultra-low Earth orbits.


As a vital member of our team, you will play a crucial role in launching the world's first air-breathing ion propulsion system into orbit.


Your Responsibilities

  • Design and manufacturing of our air-breathing ion propulsion system
  • Ensure the flawless execution of our maiden in-orbit demonstration mission
  • Identify opportunities for improvements in future design iterations, ensuring the successful delivery of the demonstration mission

This is more than a job – it's a chance to write your name in one of the most important spacecraft missions in space technology, unlocking currently inaccessible ultra-low orbits for satellites and becoming the world's first in-situ resource utilization in the history of spaceflight.


About NewOrbit

NewOrbit is developing the first hybrid of an aircraft and a satellite using Air-Breathing Electric Propulsion (ABEP).


While aircraft operate at altitudes of up to 20km and conventional satellites above 450km, there exists no technology which can consistently operate at altitudes between 20 km and 450 km.


NewOrbit addresses this by developing the first satellite capable of bridging this gap.


At NewOrbit, we have developed a revolutionary air-breathing ion propulsion system that allows satellites to operate in ultra-low Earth orbits of 180km, three times lower than the current lowest operational altitude of the satellites.


Why NewOrbit

  • Pioneering Space Technology – Join NewOrbit and contribute to launching groundbreaking technology into space next year.
  • Historical Milestone in Space Exploration – Be part of a historic space mission that will leave a lasting legacy in space exploration.
  • Unmatched Ownership and Impact – At NewOrbit, you'll experience a level of ownership that's rare in the industry.
  • Join Exceptional Team – Work with some of the brightest engineers in the space technology sector at NewOrbit.
  • Equity and Competitive Salary – NewOrbit offers not just competitive salaries but also company ownership stakes.
