• Strong written and spoken English

• Experience working on space applications or satellite systems.

• Experience developing, delivering or presenting proof-of-concepts, prototypes or demonstrators to internal or external stakeholders.

• Knowledge of distributed systems using open standards and protocols.

• Exposure to telemetry systems, messaging layers, networking, simulation frameworks or system-control software.

• Experience working with multidisciplinary teams across software, systems, hardware, test or operations.

What does ReOrbit do?

ReOrbit builds the foundation for the next generation of space applications by transforming satellites into truly intelligent, interconnected platforms, defined by software. Our satellite design philosophy revolves around the idea that satellites must network, communicate with each other and thus improve mission efficiency. How can this be achieved? Thanks to a flexible software-first architecture, where all these aspects are dealt with upfront in the mission concept, as integrated functionalities.

ReOrbit’s top notch team of software engineers and system architects develop inhouse software, procure hardware from the best in class suppliers, and seamlessly integrate the components to create flexible and secure satellites. Today, we are a rapidly growing company building a very strong multidisciplinary team to support our activities. We are headquartered in Helsinki, Finland with subsidiaries in Bristol, UK, Bariloche, Argentina and Bengaluru, India.

Working at ReOrbit

At ReOrbit, we are focused on building a strong team as we believe nothing can be accomplished without innovative, humble and curious minds working together on a common goal. We’re all about fostering an inclusive, dynamic environment where equality and diversity are our strength.

We offer

• Challenging but rewarding environment – you will thrive if you are always reflecting on how to make things better. Your ideas will be heard.

• Ambitious and supportive network of people, who are motivated to change the space industry, bringing expertise from both classic and new space .

• Benefits such as lunch vouchers, events, parties, occupational health care and additional health insurance - but most importantly a possibility to be a part of a unique and diverse team, connected by similar mindset and sense of humor.

• We like to spend time together! You can choose activities whichever is to your liking – runOrbit, climbOrbit; become ping pong or board games champion.

• We support relocation and integration into Finnish society.

Join us in our journey of building software enabled satellites for secure communications
and, thus, creating the most compelling in space data flow company of the new space era.
