- Orbital is an AI-first industrial company building hardware from the atoms up. Our goal is to lead an industrial renaissance to advance critical technologies and secure our planet for generations to come.
- We’re starting with critical hardware for AI data centers to make them more performant and sustainable. Every Orbital product is invented with our AI platform — uniting AI-automated hardware engineering with AI-designed material science to achieve breakthrough real-world performance.
- We have an ambitious mission and need excellent people in all our teams - AI research, operations, advanced materials, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering and manufacturing.
- Working at Orbital means working in tightly integrated, vertically integrated teams. We’re looking for people who have a love of physical technology, curiosity in AI and a desire to learn.
- You'll be the hands that turn our designs into working hardware — running the workshop, building the test rigs, and getting them commissioned and into service. You'll own the mechanical build of our next-generation Direct-to-Chip platforms from bare frame to first test.
- Run and maintain our 3D printers, CNC machine and workshop tooling
- Digital Fabrication - create and review CAD models. Produce parts, jigs and test fixtures to drawing
- Manage tooling, consumables and machine servicing
- Lead the mechanical build of our upcoming Direct-to-Chip testing and validation rigs
- Support commissioning — leak checks, function testing, fault-finding, and generic troubleshooting
- Deliver mechanical and electrical modifications to existing rigs as needed
- Comfort with low voltage wiring - build control panels and instrumentation to schematic
- High degree of mechanical aptitude - Assemble mechanical sub-systems to specification and tolerance
- Function test completed builds and document the results
- Take over day-to-day mechanical operation of test rigs
- Set up, run and reset test configurations for each campaign. Review data and recommend iterative improvements
- Source and order rig components, managing suppliers and lead times
- Hands-on experience running 3D printers, CNC machines and workshop tooling
- Comfortable across both mechanical assembly and electrical build work
- A background in prototype, R&D or low-volume build environments
- Practical problem-solver who diagnoses and fixes rather than waits
- Experience with fluid systems or test instrumentation is a strong plus
