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.
Role OverviewResponsible for the mechanical design of satellite structures, mechanisms, and related hardware from concept through qualification and on-orbit operation.
Working within a small, multidisciplinary team, you will translate.
Requisitos
into manufacturable designs and validate them through prototyping and environmental testing. Key ResponsibilitiesDesign and develop mechanical systems and components for satellites, including primary structure, thermal-control hardware, secondary structures, and mechanisms.Generate 3D CAD models, fully dimensioned drawings, and interface control documents using GD&T, managing assembly configuration and PLM data.Take hardware from conceptual design through qualification to on-orbit operations, leading design reviews, and planning verification tests.Optimise designs for manufacturability, cost, mass, and reliability, working directly with manufacturers and suppliers.Support prototype builds, assembly, integration, and environmental test campaigns, iterating designs based on results.Collaborate with electrical, software, systems, and thermal engineers to integrate mechanical components into the satellite platform. Required
