Your mission Join us in shaping the future of safe and sustainable space operations. At OKAPI Orbits, we develop innovative technologies and data-driven solutions to protect the space environment and empower decision-makers across the space industry. Whether you're building intelligent software, analyzing orbital dynamics, or designing user-friendly tools, your work will contribute to minimizing risks, enhancing operational safety, and enabling responsible space exploration for generations to come. Your tasks and responsibilities We have a variety of topics in which you can contribute. Some of them are: Orbit determination Covariance realism Atmospheric modelling Conjunction risk assessment Maneuver optimization Maneuver detection and pattern extraction Space debris environment modelling Your profile Must haves: Possibility to relocate to Brunswick from within the EEA with a valid working permit Enrolled student (BSc or MSc) in a study program related to Space Engineering Strong knowledge of orbital mechanics Exceptional academic track record Independent working style English intermediate (at least B2) Nice to have: Proven analytical thinking through past research projects Programming experience in Fortran,Python and/or Java Why us? With a lean hierarchy and small working groups, you define your own way of work including flexible work hours. Work on groundbreaking space sustainability challenges with a team of top-tier engineers and scientists. After your on-boarding time in Braunschweig, you can choose between staying in our office, working remote (within Germany) or a hybrid approach. Enjoy technical freedom. Influence system architecture, research methodologies, and data integration approaches. Grow continuously with access to training budgets, industry conferences, and networking opportunities. Be part of a strong engineering culture, with regular knowledge-sharing sessions, technical deep dives, and innovation sprints. Great team spirit, with company-wide events such as monthly all-hands lunches, and social activities like laser tag, dinners, and team-building outings. About us OKAPI:Orbits is at the forefront of space sustainability, addressing some of the most pressing challenges of the space industry: the growing problem of crowded orbital regimes, and the need for more efficient satellite operations. We're providing end-to-end solutions that help various space industry players cover their Space Situation Awareness (SSA), and Space Traffic Management and Coordination (STM & STC) needs. We are committed to safeguarding space missions and access to space for all humanity. Join us on our mission.
