About the job
At NewOrbit Space, we are dedicated to revolutionizing global connectivity and insight through the engineering of the world's lowest orbiting satellites. Our innovative propulsion system, AURA, enables satellites to operate at an altitude of just 200 km, significantly lower than traditional satellites, while effectively countering atmospheric drag.
Your Role
As a Satellite AIT Engineer, you will be instrumental in developing and implementing rigorous testing protocols, diagnosing integration issues, and verifying system performance. Your expertise will ensure seamless operation of all satellite subsystems in alignment with mission goals.
Key Responsibilities
Satellite Assembly: Collaborate on the assembly of satellite components, ensuring precise integration of mechanical, electrical, and electronic subsystems according to design specifications.
Integration Management: Oversee the integration of various subsystems, including payloads, propulsion, and communications systems, ensuring their unified functionality.
Testing and Validation: Formulate and conduct thorough testing procedures, functional, environmental, thermal, mechanical, and vibration, validating satellite performance under real-world conditions.
Test Procedure Development: Design comprehensive test and verification plans for all development phases, including subsystem and full spacecraft assessments.
Troubleshooting and Debugging: Methodically identify, diagnose, and resolve issues during integration and testing, ensuring compliance with stringent standards.
Documentation: Keep meticulous records of assembly, integration, and testing processes, including test plans, results, and any procedural deviations, documenting lessons learned and ensuring industry standard compliance.
Quality Assurance: Enforce and maintain high-quality assurance protocols throughout the AIT process, guaranteeing the satellite meets all performance and safety criteria prior to launch.
Spacecraft Operations Support: Assist in spacecraft operations, including the acceptance of spacecraft hardware and participating in service delivery as required.
Fundamental Requirements
An advanced degree (MEng, MSc, or PhD) in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, with a strong emphasis on satellite systems.
