We are currently building satellites that can operate at an altitude of just 200 km - one-third that of conventional satellites.


Your Role


Establish and own NewOrbit’s mission operations capability from the start, defining how our spacecraft are commanded, monitored, and operated from the ground.


You will lead the setting up of mission control, define spacecraft-ground and ground-station interfaces, develop real-time flight operations concepts, and support LEOP, commissioning, manoeuvres, nominal operations, and anomaly response alongside Mission Design and Communications.
