Test Engineer

Role Overview

You'll own the day-to-day operation of Orbital's next-generation Direct-to-Chip test rigs — running the tests, troubleshooting the hardware, and turning raw rig output into data the engineering team can act on. Starting with the final design of our tray-level test rig, you'll take it through component selection, build and commissioning, then do it again with a full rack-scale validation unit..

What We’re Looking For

• Experience operating test rigs or lab hardware, ideally in a thermal, fluids or electronics cooling context

• Confident with data — able to spot bad readings, sanity-check results and structure output for downstream analysis

• Comfortable with low-voltage wiring, thermocouples and sensor signals

• Practical troubleshooter who works the problem on the rig rather than from a desk

• Able to size and specify components and see procurement through to delivery

• Hands-on capability with 3D printers, CNC or workshop tooling is a genuine bonus

Why Join Orbital?

• Competitive salary and equity package - the ability to own part of Orbital as we grow

• Flexible and generous paid time off

• Excellent health, dental and vision insurance plan

• Regular company offsites

• The experience of working in a cutting-edge organisation dedicated to a better future

Orbital is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
