Orbitworks’ mission is to make space simple for organizations that want to deploy physical and virtual missions to space. Building on Loft Orbital’s heritage, Orbitworks will be the first commercial firm in the United Arab Emirates to mass-manufacture satellites. Orbitworks aims to manufacture tens of satellites annually and operates out of a 50,000-square-foot facility in Abu Dhabi.
At Orbitworks, the Space Infrastructure team is responsible for ensuring the reliable, efficient, and standardized satellite operations & flight management. Our team works at the intersection of automated SatOps, ground and flight software, and solving on-orbit problems.
As a Space Infrastructure Software Engineer, you are responsible for scaling our ability to operate a heterogeneous fleet of satellites-spanning dedicated, rideshare, and constellation missions. You’ll support program testing (functional -> DITL), SatOps process definition for a new startup, and interface with program customers for mission deployment and execution.
