Role Summary
At NewOrbit, we are focused on developing satellites for very low orbits using air-breathing propulsion systems that will revolutionise the space industry as soon as tomorrow. As a Test/Facility Engineer at NewOrbit, you'll assist in engineering, conducting tests, and managing test campaigns. You'll also construct and upkeep the hardware for customer missions and the test stands essential for validating our technology. Your role is crucial in developing and enhancing our product lineup.
About NewOrbit
NewOrbit is developing the first hybrid of an aircraft and a satellite using Air-breathing Electric Propulsion (ABEP). While aircraft operate at altitudes of up to 20km and conventional satellites above 450km, there exists no technology which can consistently operate at altitudes between 20 km and 450 km. NewOrbit addresses this by developing the first satellite capable of bridging this gap.
At NewOrbit, we have developed a revolutionary air-breathing ion propulsion system that allows satellites to operate in ultra-low Earth orbits of 180km, three times lower than the current lowest operational altitude of the satellites. This unique technology enables us to access and explore a layer of the atmosphere previously deemed inoperable.
Operating much closer to the Earth's surface offers significant improvements in observation and connectivity. This proximity allows for much better resolution in satellite imaging, enabling new applications in high-precision environmental monitoring and wildfire prevention. It also opens possibilities for global direct-to-phone satellite internet coverage, among other game-changing applications, at self-cleaning altitudes free of space debris.
Core Responsibilities
Facility
Setting up a new equipment (vacuum chamber, machine shop, tables)
