About the Role

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

This role involves designing and optimizing the architecture, algorithms, and integration of sensors and actuators to maintain precise satellite orientation. Key tasks include developing advanced control algorithms, modeling system performance, integrating ADCS hardware, and validating functionality through simulations and testing. Post-launch, the role supports on-orbit operations, including calibration, manoeuvre planning, and troubleshooting to ensure mission success.
