    Junior Electronics Engineer for Electric Propulsion

    Role Summary

    This is an exciting opportunity to join a rapidly growing space startup company and play a key role in the development of air-breathing electric propulsion technology. We are seeking for enthusiastic, creative and hard-working electronic engineers to join our power and propulsion scientists and engineers in the development of our flagship satellite to ultra-low Earth Orbit (ULEO).

    Applicants should be able to design, build and test electronic circuits for sensing, real-time monitoring, communicating and controlling various subsystems of the air-breathing propulsion system from the ground-up.

    Fundamental Requirements:

    • Excellent understanding of the fundamentals (theory and practice) of digital and analogue electronics and control
    • An advanced university degree MEng, MSc, or preferably a PhD in electronics or relevant work experience of 1 year minimum.

    • Enthusiasm to be involved in groundbreaking space science

    Preferable:

    • Research and development projects (PhD research is considered).
    • Digital signal processing in noisy environments, preferably with FPGA's.
    • Implementing complex control algorithms using FPGAs, MCUs etc.
    • PID control tuning.
    • PCB design, schematic and layout (preferable using Altium).
    • Experience in the aerospace industry is preferable.

    About NewOrbit Space

    NewOrbit is developing the first air-breathing electric propulsion (ABEP) system to be trialled in ULEO. Operating in ULEO comes with game-changing benefits to most satellite applications; however, it hasn't been exploited yet, since a propulsion system to counteract drag from air particles present at these altitudes is required. Practically, for years-long missions, this can only be achieved using these air particles already present in space as the propellent for the propulsion system.

    We are aiming to perform the first proof-of-concept mission next year.

    Why NewOrbit?

    • Pioneering Space Technology: Join NewOrbit and contribute to launching groundbreaking technology into space next year. Your work on our air-breathing propulsion system will redefine satellite operations in ultra-low Earth orbits.
    • Unmatched ownership and impact: You'll experience a level of input that's rare in this industry. You'll participate in the full lifecycle of satellite technology development and face diverse challenges in preparing our propulsion system for space
    • Join an exceptional team: Work with some of the brightest scientists and engineers in the space technology sector.
    • Great culture: You'll be part of an exciting, collaborative work culture with engineering at heart.
    • Equity and competitive salary: NewOrbit offers competitive salaries and company ownership stakes. Dedication and hard work are rewarded with a stake in the business you are helping to build.
