About the role

Today, satellites cannot be refueled, which severely constrains their mobility and inhibits the development of economic activities in space.
The possibilities are unprecedented, opening the doors to unimagined operational strategies and business models.
Since our establishment in 2018, we have already achieved the successful launch of three tankers to space.

Orbit Fab breaks the single-use paradigm, pioneering our Gas Stations in Space™ refueling infrastructure and RAFTI™ technology to deliver propellant in space, enabling lower-cost satellite construction, increased maneuverability, precise control, and extended lifespans.

The core function of the Fluids & Propulsion Engineer is to design and test fluid subsystems.
This role will require balancing the technical, schedule and cost trades of the product and work closely with the system engineer and program manager on meeting requirements and delivery dates.
We strongly encourage you to apply if you feel you would succeed in the role above.
Eligibility Some job roles may be limited to US Persons (22 CFR 120.62 "U.S. person").
The estimated salary range for this position is 91,000 - 144,000 USD per year

We offer fully covered benefits, discretionary time off, and flexible work hours.
Location and Benefits Orbit Fab is based out of Lafayette, Colorado and all roles are based in Colorado.

Orbit Fab's mission is to create the foundational infrastructure that will fuel a bustling in-space economy, capable of sustaining permanent jobs in space.
