Testing Technician (m/f/d)

Munich-based OroraTech is developing a constellation of nano-satellites with thermal infrared cameras for automated wildfire detection, severe weather warnings and many other applications. After our FOREST-1 mission (launched in Jan. 2022) and FOREST-2 (launch in June 2023), the next step is to launch FOREST-3 (Okt. 2024) and the first constellation plane of 8 systems (early 2025). 

We are looking for talented technicians to support us with the second constellation plane based on our inhouse developed platform FOREST-3. Your tasks will be integration and testing of our cameras and spacecraft, putting together structure parts, electronics, PCBs, and optical parts. You will be joining a very motivated and highly enthusiastic team of experts in the fields of mechanical, optics, electronics, spacecraft, and software engineering.aa

As an Assembly, Integration, and Testing (AIT) Technician you will:

• Support the integration of  components and subsystems containing actual space hardware.

• Assemble and test the satellite’s subsystems, cables, and deployment mechanisms.

• Support the satellite’s on-ground test campaigns (vibration, thermal, vacuum).

• Mechanical (SolidWorks) or electrical (Altium) design for test equipment.

• Prototyping of mechanical and electrical designs using our laboratories. 

• Cooperate with the other disciplines (mechanical, electrical, software) to improve and scale up the production of payloads and satellites.

• Enrolled in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or comparable.

• Skilled handling of small mechanical parts and electronics.

• Highly organized and structured way of working in the laboratories and clean rooms.

At OroraTech you can expect a down to earth, yet high-caliber work environment. You will be part of the OroraTech team - a talented, international, open-minded team that is highly motivated to create impact. OroraTech gives you the opportunity to grow on a professional and personal level. Benefits include:

• You have the opportunity to become part of our firefighting mission from space and deliver the tools to better cope with natural disasters and mitigate climate change - could an internship be any cooler?

• You will gain insights into the most exciting new technologies and business models.

• We value perfect espresso - you'll love our high-grade espresso machine. Additionally, free drinks and snacks are always available at the office.

• Attractive office with modern labs at "Neue Balan" near Ostbahnhof with its own pool (yes!) and access to the rooftop terrace.
