Now, we’re looking for a Science Writer to help us translate cutting-edge science into compelling, clear, and engaging content for a technical audience.
What You’ll Do
* Write and edit long-form scientific content (e.g. blogs, explainers, thought leadership) related to AI for science, materials chemistry, and deep tech.
* Translate complex research into accessible narratives for scientists, engineers, and domain-aware stakeholders.
* Collaborate closely with Orbital’s science and engineering teams to surface insights and shape storytelling.
* Track developments in scientific AI, materials innovation, and related fields to help position Orbital as a thought leader.
* Contribute to content across our blog, social media, investor comms, and conference presence.
What We’re Looking For
* Demonstrated experience in science writing, technical communication, or research storytelling.
* A strong grasp of one or more of the following areas: materials science, chemistry, physics, biotechnology, or AI for science.
* Ability to write for a technically literate audience — think researchers, engineers, or investors in deep tech.
* Excellent editorial judgment, structure, and attention to scientific accuracy.
* A proactive, curious mindset — you’re excited by new ideas and able to dive into unfamiliar topics.
Nice to Have
* Background in science journalism, research, or content roles in deeptech/biotech/AI startups.
* Experience working with subject matter experts to produce content.
* Understanding of SEO, digital publishing, or analytics (optional).
