The posting

Wanna join the adventure?

Orbitworks' mission is to make space simple for organizations that want to deploy physical and virtual missions to space. Building on Loft Orbital's heritage, Orbitworks will be the first commercial firm in the United Arab Emirates to mass-manufacture satellites. Orbitworks aims to manufacture tens of satellites annually and operates out of a 50,000-square-foot facility in Abu Dhabi.

As a Senior Satellite Systems Engineer at Orbitworks, you will work as a senior engineer for one or several satellite missions simultaneously, each one flying a single/multi-payload configuration. You will be a technical reference for these missions, working closely with the mission manager and all the Orbitworks and Loft teams: product development teams, flight and ground software, AIT, and operations.

Using flight-proven satellite buses and Loft-designed payload hub infrastructure, you will lead the development activities of the missions you are in charge of.

About this Role:

  • Work with customers to develop and manage system requirements and verification techniques, and flow down to software or hardware teams.
  • Develop, in collaboration with team members, interface specifications and derive overall satellite architecture and design.
  • Work with product and sub-systems engineers to develop and maintain technical budgets for spacecraft performance.
  • Work with flight operations to develop mission CONOPS, supporting the development of Service Level Agreements with Loft's customers.
  • Assist with program management and product management, including interfacing with customers on programmatic and scheduling matters.
  • Support test procedures, and participate in the integration, test campaign, launch and in-orbit commissioning.

Must Haves:

  • You have 10 years or more demonstrated experience as a spacecraft / satellite systems engineer, or equivalent experience in at least two different subsystems (ADCS, Mechanical, Thermal, Power, Avionics, …).
  • You have experience in satellite assembly, integration and test campaigns from a systems perspective and/or in spacecraft delivery to orbit.
  • You challenge norms in aerospace engineering and testing activities and are experienced in fast-paced development environment.
  • You handle pressure positively and are always ready to get hands-on.
  • You have strong communication and organizational skills.

Nice to Haves:

  • Experience working on small sats (less than 500kg).
  • Experience in Electrical sub-systems.
  • Proficient with STK.
  • Knowledge of Python.
  • International experience.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
