Role Overview

This is an exciting opportunity to join NewOrbit Space, a pioneering company in the field of space technology, and contribute to the development of cutting-edge propulsion systems. As a Mission and Satellite Systems Engineer, you will be responsible for the completion of the final mission design and component-level architecture.

About NewOrbit Space

NewOrbit Space is developing a revolutionary hybrid of an aircraft and a satellite using Air-breathing Electric Propulsion (ABEP). This technology enables consistent operation at altitudes between 20 km and 450 km, allowing for high-resolution satellite imaging and enabling new applications in environmental monitoring and wildfire prevention. It also opens possibilities for global direct-to-phone satellite internet coverage and other game-changing applications.

Your Responsibilities

We are seeking an enthusiastic and experienced expert in satellite systems and mission design. You will work alongside our mechanical and electronics engineers to ensure the success of our first mission. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Delivering a mission design from scratch and taking full ownership of it.
  • Collaborating with our team to ensure the success of our first mission.
  • Developing and implementing satellite systems and propulsion technologies.
  • Participating in the daily operations, growth, and R&D planning of the company.

Requirements

We are looking for a highly skilled and experienced engineer who has been involved in building several satellites or missions from scratch, which are currently operating in space. You should have:

  • Basic knowledge of all satellite subsystems with a focus on mission design and systems engineering.
  • Experience in propulsion system integration or operation.
  • Deep expertise in at least one satellite subsystem, such as attitude control, electronics design, structures, thermal control, flight dynamics, or other areas.
  • Good knowledge or awareness of orbit analysis (GMAT, STK), RF link analysis, mass and power budgets, redundancy planning, single-point failure studies, operations, ground segments, space environments, and satellite mechanical and electrical architectures.
  • Experience with component selection and vendor outreach.

What We Offer

NewOrbit Space offers a competitive salary and equity in the company. As a member of our team, you will be part of a dynamic and innovative company that is shaping the future of space technology.
