2 of 2 Permanent Lead Systems Engineer Jobs in Berkshire

At NewOrbit Space, our mission it to engineer the lowest orbiting satellites on Earth to rapidly advance global connectivity and insight. We are currently building satellites that can breathe air and operate at an altitude of just 200 km - one-third that of conventional satellites. Thanks to our proprietary propulsion system we can compensate for the atmospheric drag … a critical growth phase. Our roles will often require extended hours and are not typical 9-to-6 positions. Your Role We are seeking a Lead Satellite Systems Engineer to steer our demonstration mission architecture from phase A studies through on-orbit operations. You will own the end to end systems definition, translating customer … teams. Drive requirements flow down to subsystem teams and oversee interface integration. Perform system level modelling, FMEAs, and risk assessments to identify and mitigate technical and schedule risks. Lead cross disciplinary design reviews across the system lifecycle (PDR, CDR, TRR) and ensure compliance with standards and customer expectations.

Thanks to our proprietary propulsion system we can compensate for the atmospheric drag … a critical growth phase. Our roles will often require extended hours and are not typical 9-to-6 positions. Your Role We are seeking a Lead Spacecraft Systems Engineer to define and guide the architecture of our spacecraft missions from concept through on-orbit operations. You will own the end-to-end systems definition … integration of all spacecraft subsystems into a coherent, reliable, and high-performance system. Key Responsibilities Develop and maintain system requirements, interface control documents (ICDs), and verification & validation plans. Lead requirements flow-down to subsystem teams and oversee compliance across the engineering lifecycle. Conduct system-level modelling, performance analysis, FMEAs, and risk assessments to identify and mitigate mission risks. More ❯
