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. We are seeking a Senior / Lead Electronics Engineer to design, build, and qualify electronics for our VLEO space mission. You will take technical ownership of electronics development across the full lifecycle — from early concept and architecture through design, test, qualification, and flight readiness — ensuring the success of our upcoming satellite missions. You will work closely with systems, mechanical, propulsion, software, and AIT teams, and play a key role in setting technical direction and best practices for electronics development.
Job Responsibility:
Own end-to-end development of space-qualified electronics, from requirements and architecture to flight hardware
Design, prototype, and review analog, digital, and mixed-signal electronics and PCB layouts
Lead schematic capture, component selection, PCB design, and design-for-manufacturing/test
Define and execute test, validation, and qualification plans for space electronics (functional, environmental, and reliability testing)
Ensure designs meet space requirements including radiation tolerance, EMI/EMC, reliability, and derating
Collaborate closely with systems, mechanical, software, and AIT teams to integrate electronics into satellite subsystems
Provide technical leadership through design reviews, mentoring, and guidance of junior engineers
Contribute to process improvement, technical standards, and architectural decisions across the electronics domain
Requirements:
Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field
5+ years of professional experience developing electronics for demanding environments
Demonstrated experience with space electronics or similar high-reliability systems (e.g. aerospace, defense)
Strong fundamentals in analog and digital electronics
Proven experience with schematic design, PCB layout, and board bring-up
Solid understanding of space-specific constraints such as radiation, EMC/EMI, thermal behavior, and reliability
Experience taking hardware from concept through testing and qualification
EMI/EMC design, testing, and compliance for space hardware
Reliability analysis, including derating, worst-case analysis, and FMECA
Interface electronics for sensors, actuators, RF, or avionics subsystems
Nice to have:
Prior experience in a technical lead or team lead role, including mentoring or guiding other engineers
Electronics development for satellites, spacecraft, or other space systems
Radiation-tolerant design, component selection, and mitigation techniques
