The Mission
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 already successfully launching 15 payloads and spacecrafts, the next step is to refine our systems and scale the production, launching the next planes of thermal infrared satellites to continuously monitor Earth.
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.
