Orbitworks is significantly increasing the level of our satellite production and therefore we require an Environmental Test Engineer to join the team at our newly opened, state-of-the-art satellite production facility in the UAE.

This role provides the opportunity to work across the full lifecycle of environmental verification and test —from early program feasibility, to planning, SOP creation, infrastructure readiness, maintenance oversight, right through to the hands-on execution of Vibration, TVAC, Thermal, and EMC/EMI campaigns.

This role is vital as it ensures our satellites are tested reliably, on schedule, and to the high standards required for us to launch.

Responsiblities

  • Operate and maintain environmental test equipment (thermal vacuum, vibration, acoustic chambers)
  • Set up test articles and install sensors (e.g., thermocouples, accelerometers, strain gauges)
  • Execute environmental tests per procedure and engineering direction
  • Monitor test progress, identify and report anomalies or failures
  • Collect and analyze test data; prepare accurate technical reports
  • Perform routine maintenance, troubleshooting, and calibration of test equipment
  • Ensure compliance with safety protocols and cleanroom procedures
  • Collaborate with AIT, QA, and engineering teams to improve test processes

    • Must-have Skills & Experience

  • 2–5 years of environmental test experience
  • Proficiency operating test equipment (thermal vacuum chambers, vibration shakers, etc.)
  • Ability to read and interpret test plans, schematics, and engineering drawings
  • Technical diploma or Associate’s degree in a relevant field (e.g., mechanical or electrical technology)
  • Strong attention to detail and a commitment to safety in high-stakes environments
  • Solid understanding of instrumentation and data acquisition systems

    • Nice-to-have Skills & Experience

  • Experience with environmental test standards (e.g., GEVS, Mil-Std-1540, CEQATR)
  • Familiarity with RF testing setups or tools
  • Basic scripting or programming skills (Python preferred)
  • Certified forklift and/or crane operator
  • Experience working in cleanroom or ISO-classified environments
    • 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.
