Teams at NewOrbit Space

Plan and execute electric propulsion test campaigns for RF gridded ion thrusters. Design and maintain test rigs, vacuum facilities, electronics, gas systems, and diagnostics; operate propulsion test equipment; collect and analyze performance data; identify failures; support iterative design improvements; and maintain traceable verification and qualification documentation. Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, controls, and propulsion engineers to integrate and test flight-ready hardware.

Own the design, construction, testing, and verification of RF gridded ion thrusters for very-low-Earth-orbit satellites. Responsibilities include performance calculations, test-rig and equipment development, vacuum-facility operation, propulsion testing, results analysis, iterative design improvements, and traceable qualification documentation. The role requires hands-on expertise in RF plasma systems, ion optics, vacuum equipment, high-voltage supplies, diagnostics, and propulsion test campaigns.

Lead government and enterprise satellite sales, owning the full sales cycle from sourcing through contract close. Build senior relationships with government agencies, primes, and major operators; shape commercial strategy; represent the company externally; manage forecasting and board reporting; partner with engineering and delivery; and grow the sales function. The role requires extensive satellite sales experience, major contract wins, and a strong space-industry network.
