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. Role Overview Responsible for the mechanical design of satellite structures, mechanisms, and related hardware from concept through qualification and on-orbit operation. Working within a small, multidisciplinary team, you will translate requirements into manufacturable designs and validate them through prototyping and environmental testing. Key Responsibilities Design and develop mechanical systems and components for satellites, including primary structure, thermal-control hardware, secondary structures, and mechanisms. Generate 3D CAD models, fully dimensioned drawings, and interface control documents using GD
