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 experienc
