JOIN THE
MISSION
We're building the infrastructure for humanity's future in orbit. If you want to work on problems that matter — propulsion, orbital mechanics, Earth observation, and sustainable space operations — this is the place.
WHY ORBITEXSPACE
Real Hardware
You'll work on things that fly. Engines, avionics, structures, and software that go to orbit — not slide decks about going to orbit.
Small Teams, Big Impact
Engineering teams of 5–8 people own entire subsystems end-to-end. Your decisions directly affect mission outcomes.
Launch Cadence
Monthly launches mean fast iteration cycles. You'll see your work fly within months, not years.
European Roots, Global Reach
Headquartered in Munich with teams in Norway, France, and expanding. Competitive compensation, relocation support, and flexible work.
Open Positions
Database setup for the portal uses Supabase auth plus the missions, documents, and manifests tables. The SQL schema is exported in the backend client for easy setup.
Open Positions
Senior Propulsion Engineer
Design and test next-generation staged combustion engines. Lead combustion chamber and injector development for the Vanguard-3 program.
GNC Software Engineer
Develop guidance, navigation, and control algorithms for launch vehicles and orbital maneuvering systems. C++ and Python in a flight-critical environment.
Structural Analysis Engineer
Perform FEA and loads analysis for composite and metallic structures. Support qualification testing campaigns for vehicle and payload adapter hardware.
Mission Operations Lead
Lead real-time mission control operations for launch and early orbit phases. Manage the flight operations team and coordinate with range safety.
Launch Campaign Manager
Manage end-to-end launch campaigns from payload integration through liftoff. Coordinate logistics, safety, and scheduling across multiple stakeholders.
Remote Sensing Scientist
Develop algorithms for multispectral and SAR image processing. Build automated pipelines for change detection, classification, and feature extraction.
Data Platform Engineer
Build and scale the cloud infrastructure for our Earth observation data platform. Kubernetes, Terraform, and high-throughput data pipelines.
Business Development Manager
Identify and close new launch service and hosted payload contracts with commercial and government customers across Europe and Asia-Pacific.
Technical Program Manager
Manage complex customer programs from contract through on-orbit commissioning. Interface between engineering, operations, and the customer team.
Satellite Integration Technician
Hands-on assembly, integration, and test of satellite subsystems in our cleanroom facility. Mechanical and electrical integration of customer payloads.
