Satellite Electrical Power Systems Engineer

Confidential | reading, United-Kingdom | Posted May 31, 2026

Position Overview

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. Thanks to our propulsion system AURA, we can compensate for the atmospheric drag at ultra-low altitudes.

Your Role

We are seeking a Satellite Electrical Power Systems Engineer to lead the design, development, and delivery of the electrical power subsystem for our satellite missions. You will own the end-to-end power system architecture — from energy generation and storage to power conditioning and distribution — ensuring reliable, efficient operation throughout the mission lifecycle. Your expertise in smallsat-class spacecraft will enable you to optimise performance under tight mass, volume, and schedule constraints in a fast-paced, agile environment.
