ORBITEC provides propulsion, life support, thermal, science systems, and engineering development solutions for aerospace markets while transitioning specific valuable products into commercial markets.
 
Over the past 26 years, ORBITEC has matured technologies, developed validated products, and delivered and operated flight systems. We continue to work with several customers and partners to deploy next generation products. These developments require a dedicated team of intelligent, innovative, and thorough personnel in the following areas:

• Mechanical Engineers – thermal transfer systems, fluid flow systems, structures, design, technical analyses
• Electrical Engineers – analog systems for instrumentation and control, digital systems for control and data collection
• Software – embedded systems for control and monitoring, graphical user interfaces, database, operational systems
• Technicians – mechanical assembly, electronics layout and assembly, component/subsystems testing, troubleshooting
• Systems Integration and Analyses – requirements definition and tracking; test and validation planning and tracking; risk assessment and management; reliability assessment and analyses; configuration management; systems integration planning, analyses and validation

ORBITEC recently became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sierra Nevada Corporation.  It was a natural progression for the two companies to come together after years of teaming on SNC's Dream Chaser spacecraft program.  The combined capabilities and products of SNC's Space Systems and ORBITEC provide customers with a comprehensive product line/suite of services.  SNC is committed to continuing ORBITEC's excellent relationships with its government and commercial customers.  All of which serves to provide excellent aerospace-related career opportunities.

Beyond great career opportunities, ORBITEC offers an excellent benefit package including: health, dental, life, and disability insurances; retirement plan; holiday, vacation, and sick paid time off; tuition reimbursement program; and employee social activities.

ORBITEC is conveniently located on the west side of Madison/Middleton, within a premier business park area, in the Space Center building.
