Job Description:

At NewOrbit Space, our mission is to engineer the lowest orbiting satellites on Earth to rapidly advance global connectivity and insight. We are currently building satellites that can operate at an altitude of just 200 km - one-third that of conventional satellites. Thanks to our propulsion system AURA, we can compensate for the atmospheric drag at ultra-low altitudes. Your Role: You'll develop and execute testing protocols, troubleshoot integration issues, and validate system performance. You will ensure that all satellite subsystems work cohesively to meet mission objectives.

Job Responsibility:

  • Satellite Assembly: Work on the assembly of satellite components, ensuring all mechanical, electrical, and electronic subsystems are correctly integrated and meet design specifications
  • Integration Management: Manage the integration process of various subsystems, including payloads, propulsion systems, and communication systems, ensuring they function cohesively as a single unit
  • Testing and Validation: Develop and execute comprehensive testing procedures, including functional, environmental, thermal, mechanical, and vibration tests, to validate satellite performance under operational conditions
  • Test Procedure Development: Create detailed test and verification plans for various development stages, including subsystem and full spacecraft verification
  • Troubleshooting and Debugging: Identify, diagnose, and resolve issues that arise during the integration and testing phases, utilizing a methodical approach to ensure all systems meet the required standards
  • Documentation: Maintain detailed records of the assembly, integration, and testing processes, including test plans, results, and any deviations from standard procedures. Document any lessons learned and ensure compliance with industry standards
  • Quality Assurance: Implement and uphold rigorous quality assurance protocols throughout the AIT process, ensuring the satellite meets all safety and performance criteria before launch
  • Spacecraft Operations Support: Support spacecraft operations, including acceptance of spacecraft hardware (platform and payload), and participate in mission/service delivery as needed

Requirements:

  • Advanced degree ( MEng, MSc, or PhD) in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related field, with a focus on satellite systems or space technology
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in satellite assembly, integration, and testing within the aerospace industry, with experience in the build and test of spacecraft components and subsystems
  • Comprehensive understanding of satellite programs, preferably across the full project lifecycle
  • Proficiency in conducting a wide range of satellite tests, including thermal, vibration, mechanical, and functional tests, with experience in using environmental testing chambers, vibration tables, and MGSE/EGSE
  • Familiarity with tools and software used in satellite assembly and testing, such as CAD tools for mechanical integration, electrical testing equipment, and test automation software
  • Strong understanding of quality assurance principles and experience implementing QA protocols in aerospace or similarly regulated industries
  • Willingness to be hands-on with the assembly and testing of satellite systems, including working in clean room environments and operating specialized testing equipment
What we offer:
  • Equity and Competitive Salary
  • Comprehensive Benefits Package – Including private health insurance with dental and optical coverage, annual healthcare check-ups etc
  • Hybrid Work - A hybrid setup with one dedicated remote day per week
  • We provide a relocation package and sponsor your visa if you’re joining us from abroad
