Full job description

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 Overview

Responsible 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 requirements into manufacturable designs and validate them through prototyping and environmental testing.

Key Responsibilities

Design 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 Skills & Experience

Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, aerospace, or related engineering discipline.
5+ years’ experience in satellite mechanical design, including primary structure, pipe routing, electromechanics, and MGSE for aerospace applications (satellites, payloads, launch vehicles).
Proficiency in CAD software such as SolidWorks.
Practical application of GD&T and experience producing manufacturing-ready drawings.
Solid grounding in mechanical design principles, materials, structural mechanics, FEA ,and thermal management.
Demonstrated ability to design, build, and test hardware, including troubleshooting and iteration.
