Description About NewOrbit Space NewOrbit is engineering the lowest-orbiting satellites on Earth to rapidly advance global connectivity and insight. Our engineering teams are tackling one of the toughest challenges in the field: building satellites that can breathe air and operate at an altitude of just 200 km - one-third that of conventional satellites. This isn’t for everyone, as the conditions can be hard, and we are seeking only the highest-performing candidates who excel at solving unprecedented challenges. However, the hard work pays off. Through our satellites, humanity will benefit from improved satellite imagery, direct-to-phone internet, and a self-cleaning orbit free from space debris. Please note that this is not a regular 9-to-5 job. You are expected to be able to work extended hours on-site. Your Role You will be responsible for driving recruitment efforts to expand our teams, analysing data to develop strategic insights, collaborating with senior members of the Management Team, and engaging with external stakeholders. If you’re looking to fast-track your career, this role offers a unique opportunity to gain invaluable experience working closely with top-level leadership and to learn about various aspects of the rapidly growing space industry. We are seeking a skilled and versatile Founder’s Associate with the ability to manage multiple projects effectively. You will play a critical role in key initiatives and projects led by the Founders and the business team. Why NewOrbit Pioneering Space Technology Join NewOrbit and contribute to launching groundbreaking technology into space next year. Your work on our revolutionary air-breathing ion propulsion system will redefine satellite operations in ultra-low Earth orbits. Unmatched Ownership and Impact At NewOrbit, you'll experience a level of ownership that's rare in the industry. You will participate in the full lifecycle of satellite technology development and face diverse challenges in preparing our propulsion for space.
