Orbitworks is scaling its satellite manufacturing and test capabilities and is seeking
Manufacturing Software Engineers
to join its Test Engineering team. This role focuses on developing robust, lean, and scalable test software frameworks that support satellite subsystem and system-level testing in a production environment.
The Manufacturing Software Engineer translates test requirements into efficient, automated scripts and tools, improves troubleshooting workflows, and enhances test repeatability, reliability, and execution speed across manufacturing builds. This is a hands-on engineering role requiring strong coding skills, structured troubleshooting, and the ability to operate close to hardware in an AIT/manufacturing setting.
About This Role:
Must Haves:
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or related field
3–7 years of experience in Test software development, embedded systems, or hardware-in-the-loop environments
Strong proficiency in Python (required)
Experience with Hardware interfacing and instrumentation control, Serial/Ethernet communication protocols, and Data logging and structured test reporting
Strong debugging and structured problem-solving skills
Experience working close to hardware in test, integration, or manufacturing environments
Clear and structured documentation skills
Nice To Haves:
Experience in aerospace, satellite AIT, or high-reliability industries
Familiarity with ECSS or similar verification standards, CI/CD pipelines and version control (Git), and Automated test frameworks (PyTest, Robot, custom frameworks)
Experience with Power systems testing, Environmental test software support (TVAC, vibration instrumentation), and Database integration for test result traceability
Exposure to LabVIEW, MATLAB, or similar tools
Orbitworks' mission is to make space simple for organizations that want to deploy physical and virtual missions to space. Building on Loft Orbital's heritage, Orbitworks will be the first commercial firm in the United Arab Emirates to mass-manufacture satellites. Orbitworks aims to manufacture tens of satellites annually and operates out of a 50,000-square-foot facility in Abu Dhabi.
