We protect critical satellites, like GPS and Military communication satellites, from adversarial threats, like China and Russia. Our vehicle will use the exact same propulsion systems that launch vehicles have used for decades by implementing a cryogenic management system. This will give us over 100x the thrust or current in-space propulsion. Ross and I have over 15 years of combined aerospace experience across NASA, Aerojet Rocketdyne, SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Relativity Space. We’ve worked side by side for more than 3.5 years developing propulsion systems, turbomachinery, and building our own respective engineering teams. We are currently working on the first demo of our unique cryo management system and intend to launch an operational vehicle by 2027. ## About the role **About Orbital Operations** At Orbital Operations, we’re building the future of dynamic space maneuvering. Our mission is to enable rapid-response orbital capabilities, executing maneuvers without hesitation and without regret. Our flagship technology, the Cryogenic Propulsion Management System (CPMS), is redefining what’s possible in space mobility. Designed for military and commercial spacecraft, CPMS delivers sustained, high-thrust maneuverability in geosynchronous and cislunar orbits. It integrates low-loss cryogenic storage, reverse Brayton cycle (RBC) thermal control, and turbomachinery-driven propulsion to make spacecraft more agile, resilient, and responsive. Beyond defense, CPMS is poised to transform commercial orbital logistics. By powering next-generation orbital transfer vehicles (OTVs), it can slash LEO-to-GEO transit times from six months to just eight hours—unlocking new possibilities for satellite servicing, deployment, and beyond. Join us in building the infrastructure for a more maneuverable and mission-ready space domain. **About the role** Don't see what you're looking for in our other positions? No problem. Are you a rockstar? We’re looking for incredible people who love tackling all elements of a problem, no matter the field or experience level. If you love owning a challenge from end-to-end, then we want to hear from you! We’re looking for people curious, driven, and ready to move fast. You’ll need to be self-directed, adaptable, and eager to learn in a fast-paced environment where the stakes are high and the mission is clear. **Qualifications** - Exceptional command of fundamentals - Demonstrated history of building amazing things, start to finish - Excellent written and verbal communication Opportunities are available across our engineering teams, including: - Cryogenic Propellant Management - Turbomachinery - Fluids Design and Analysis - Liquid Rocket Propulsion - Space Vehicle Structures - Test and Integration - Manufacturing and Assembly If you’re ready to help build the future of orbital operations, we’d love to hear from you. --- Source: Orbital Operations's own career page, read by RemJobs.
