Positions
Attitude Determination and Control Engineer
Overview
The Attitude Determination and Control subsystem (ADCS) is the navigational core of AcubeSAT. Not only is it responsible for stabilizing AcubeSAT for the safety of the spacecraft, but it also handles determining and controlling its attitude in orbit for establishing a reliable downlink with the Ground Station.
Positions
Biological Engineer
Overview
AcubeSAT’s Payload is a novel autonomous and miniaturized biological laboratory, designed to perform multiple high-throughput biological/biochemical experiments in-orbit.
Positions
Embedded Software Engineer
Overview
The Embedded Engineer for the AcubeSat project plays a critical role in developing the low-level software infrastructure that enables the nanosatellite’s core functionality. This position focuses on creating reliable, resource-efficient firmware that controls the satellite’s various subsystems. Working at the intersection of hardware and software, this role is crucial for the integration of the various subsystems into one functional satellite.
Positions
FPGA Engineer
Subsystem Summary:
The Communications (COMMS) subsystem is responsible to reliably transfer the largest possible volume of scientific and diagnostic data between the satellite and the Earth, by developing the necessary On-Board and Ground Station hardware and software. COMMS is also in charge of performing system-level electromagnetic analyses on AcubeSAT. In that context, our members are occupied with
Positions
Fund Raising & Outreach
Overview
The Fund Raising & Outreach team works to support the AcubeSAT project creatively, socially, and financially. Behind each social media post, presentation template, brochure, and sponsor partnership, you’ll find an outreach team member using their skills to amplify the project’s impact. This multifaceted position combines social media management, graphic design, and fundraising activities to deliver AcubeSAT’s message to the world and secure vital partnerships. Come to the dark side; we have Photoshop and Illustrator.
Positions
Hardware Engineer
Overview
The Hardware Engineer for the AcubeSAT project is responsible for designing and implementing the electronic systems that control all basic functions of the satellite. This role focuses on developing hardware, creating electrical interfaces between subsystems, and ensuring reliable operation in the space environment. The Hardware Engineer designs PCBs, implements digital communication protocols, and conducts rigorous testing to verify functionality under mission conditions. Working closely with all subsystems, this position requires both technical expertise in electronics and the ability to integrate complex systems, including the specialized hardware needed for the satellite’s biological payload featuring microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip technologies. Through this position, you will learn how to create space-grade electronic designs, perform thorough functional and environmental tests, and contribute to a real space mission.
Positions
Mechatronics Engineer
Overview
A Mechatronics Engineer for the AcubeSAT project is responsible for integrating mechanical, electronic, fluidic and optical systems across multiple subsystems of the nanosatellite. This role focuses on bridging disciplines together to develop solutions for the complex in-house Payload (including imaging, fluidics and lab-on-a-chip technologies) as well as for the rest of the satellite system. The Mechatronics Engineer will play a crucial role in creating test setups (e.g. microarraying robots, imaging setups), and conducting subsystem and system-level testing to ensure all integrated components function properly in the space environment.
Positions
Structural Engineer
Overview
The Structural Engineer for the AcubeSAT project leads the hands-on development of the nanosatellite’s physical architecture, with particular emphasis on practical manufacturing solutions. The Structural Engineer not only designs the satellite structure but actively transforms concepts into reality through prototype development, mockup creation, and extensive manufacturing oversight. Working directly with machinists and fabrication specialists, this position ensures that all components can be manufactured to precise specifications while meeting the challenging constraints of space missions. The engineer leads iterative physical testing of structural mockups and develops comprehensive assembly procedures critical for integrating the satellite’s various parts.
Positions
Systems Engineering — AIV Engineer
Overview
The Systems Engineering subteam is tasked with ensuring the correct and reliable functionality of the spacecraft and the system level design coordination of all subsystems, while also ensuring compliance with a wide array of standards. Considering that AcubeSAT is in the Manufacturing, Assembly, Integration and Verification (MAIV) phase, the team is seeking an individual to assist in these activities.
Positions
Telecommunications & Operations Engineer
Overview
The Communications & Operations subsystem is responsible to reliably transfer the largest possible volume of scientific and diagnostic between the AcubeSAT satellite and the Ground Station. Furthermore, we are responsible for maintaining the ground mission control software, implementing the Telemetry & Telecommand services and automating the nominal pass procedures to ensure smooth operations while AcubeSAT is in orbit.
Positions
Thermal Engineer
Overview
The Thermal Subsystem ensures that all satellite components remain within their designated operating and non-operating temperature limits. To determine these temperature ranges and verify material tolerances, we perform detailed thermal analyses using specialized software. Additionally, we conduct physical tests by subjecting the satellite to a range of controlled thermal stresses to simulate on-orbit conditions.
