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 breathe air and operate at an altitude of just 200 km - one-third that of conventional satellites. Thanks to our proprietary propulsion system, we can compensate for atmospheric drag at ultra-low altitudes using the air as propellant.
Please note that as we prepare for our maiden satellite mission, we are in a critical growth phase. Our roles will often require extended hours and are not typical 9-to-6 positions.
Your Role
You will be responsible for developing the control systems of various satellite subsystems.
Key Responsibilities
* Control System Development: Design, simulate, and test control systems to ensure stable and reliable operation in space environments.
* System Integration and Testing: Integrate control systems with propulsion and other subsystems, performing rigorous testing under simulated space conditions (thermal vacuum, vibration, and radiation).
* Autonomous Fault Management: Develop fault detection and correction strategies to enhance satellite resilience and autonomous operations.
* Iterative Development: Work in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment to produce and refine rapid design iterations.
* Modelling and Analysis: Use MATLAB/Simulink and other tools to model complex systems, analyze performance, and validate control algorithms.
* Circuit and Firmware Development: Collaborate with electronics engineers to design circuits and implement control algorithms for microcontroller-based systems, ensuring space-grade reliability.
* Code Generation: Create isolated MATLAB/Simulink control modules for embedded system deployment, separating control logic from simulation code and defining clear interfaces considering microcontroller resource constraints.
Fundamental Requirements
* MEng, MSc, or PhD in Electronics, Mechatronics, Automation, Control Systems, Robotics, Aerospace, Mechanical, or related disciplines.
* Strong understanding and hands-on experience with control design, tuning, and implementation.
* Familiarity with power electronics and electrical power converters, with experience in PPU systems highly desirable.
* Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink for control system design and analysis.
* Experience developing firmware for microcontroller-based embedded systems.
