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 an experienced Senior Mechanical Engineer to lead the design and development of the next generation of our air-breathing ion propulsion system and satellite. The ideal candidate will possess a strong understanding of building complex systems, including expertise in CAD, technical drawings, tolerances, and structural analysis. You should be capable of developing an entire subsystem from the ground up and taking full ownership of the design process, ensuring the success of our upcoming mission.
Job Responsibility:
Own the design and development of next generation structures and mechanisms
Rapid design, testing and prototyping (R&D) of satellite subsystems
Perform hand calculations and FEA to develop, assess, and optimize designs
Conduct trade studies to optimise for cost, schedule, safety, and performance, among other considerations
Requirements:
3+ years of experience in mechanical design and analysis
Exceptional skills in CAD modelling and drawing preparation
Demonstrated understanding of structural analysis and failure modes of complex mechanical systems
Experience in using FEM software (e.g. ANSYS) is required
Demonstrated experience in rapid design, testing and prototyping (R&D) in your current field
Solid understanding and application of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T)
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
