Avionics Engineer

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. Thanks to our propulsion system AURA, we can compensate for the atmospheric drag at ultra-low altitudes.

Your Role

You’ll own the spacecraft’s avionics integration: the electrical architecture, harnessing and interfaces that connect OBC, EPS, radios, ADCS, payload, and sensors/actuators into a coherent, testable system. You’ll take COTS subsystems and make them work together reliably in a harsh VLEO environment—defining ICDs, managing power and data paths, building EGSE/flatsat test setups, and driving bring-up through qualification, launch, and on-orbit support.

Key Responsibilities
