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 scale the production, launch the first constellation plane of 8 systems and develop our own satellite platform. We are looking for talented engineers to support us with the design and testing of our newly developed satellite platform. They will be joining a very motivated and highly enthusiastic team of experts in the fields of mechanical, optics, electronics, spacecraft, and software engineering.

• Build spacecraft software operating satellites and infrared cameras.
• Write software components for microcontroller firmware in C++ and MicroPython.
• Write low level drivers for interfacing with various sensors, actuators etc.
• Debug development hardware with GDB and logic analyzers.
• Write automated tests for embedded systems.
• Support the hardware team with new board bring-up.
• Occasionally use a soldering iron to fix hardware issues.
• Write software components for embedded Linux software in C++ and Python.
