R&D; Thermal Engineer

Location: Turin, Italy

Full-Time

Salary Range: €40,000 - €70,000

Join ORiS and help build the future of energy in space.

At ORiS, we are building the technologies that will power the next generation of space missions. Through laser-based wireless power transmission, we aim to overcome the energy limitations of today’s satellites and enable longer, more capable, and more resilient operations in orbit.

As a R&D; Thermal Engineer, you will be responsible for the thermal design, analysis, and verification of spacecraft subsystems, ensuring optimal performance across all mission phases, from concept to in-orbit operations. This is mostly an R&D; position.

You will work within a multidisciplinary team on pioneering missions, including our flagship demonstration of laser-based Wireless Power Transmission between satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO).

What You Will Do

- Design and develop thermal control systems for spacecraft and payloads

- Lead the maturation of the Thermal Control System (TCS) from TRL 4 to TRL 7, validating performance first in laboratory conditions and then in a representative environment (parabolic flight, 0g)

- Perform thermal analyses (steady-state and transient) using industry-standard tools

- Support thermal vacuum testing and model correlation activities

- Support the integration of the TCS with the WPT satellite, working closely with the space team

- Define thermal requirements and contribute to system-level trade-offs

- Collaborate with mechanical,



electrical, and systems engineering teams

- Contribute to design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR) and verification activities

What We Are Looking For

- Degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Energy or Physics Engineering

- Proficiency with thermal analysis tools (ESATAN-TMS, Thermal Desktop, or equivalent)

- Knowledge of ECSS standards and space qualification processes

- Fluent English (C1/C2 mandatory)

Nice to Have

- Experience with thermal vacuum test campaigns

- At least 3 years of experience in spacecraft thermal engineering

- Previous work on LEO satellite programs

Why ORiS

- Work on innovative satellite missions and advanced space technologies

- Play a key role in shaping system-level decisions that directly impact mission success

- Collaborate with highly skilled engineers across multiple technical disciplines

- Gain exposure to cutting-edge space programs and emerging technologies

- Grow professionally within a fast-growing and ambitious space company

- Be part of a culture driven by innovation, ownership, and technical excellence

Our Offer

- Salary Range: €40,000 - €70,000

- EUR 1,000 per year in fringe benefits

- EUR 8 meal vouchers per working day

- Flexible lavoro da remoto arrangements, subject to project needs

- Stock option plan

If you want to help create the future of energy in space and contribute to technologies that could transform the way humanity operates beyond Earth, join ORiS.
