Company Description Inorbii is building orbital data center infrastructure, creating a new compute tier engineered to operate above Earth’s atmosphere. The company focuses on workloads such as frontier AI training, batch inference, scientific simulation, and archival compute that benefit from near-continuous solar power, radiative cooling, and zero terrestrial footprint. Its modular payload integrates solar generation, compute, and radiative cooling into a single, serviceable platform deployed in low-Earth orbit and operated from the ground.

Inorbii emphasizes engineering realism, explicitly addressing launch economics, radiation, in-orbit servicing, latency, and debris through modularity, graceful degradation, and radiation-hardened design. The roadmap spans foundational subsystem and mission engineering, an on-orbit demonstrator, and scaling to a production orbital compute fleet with deep collaboration across aerospace, HPC, and infrastructure partners.

Role Description As Co-Founder & Chief Technology Officer (Aerospace / Hardware), you will lead the end-to-end technical strategy and implementation of Inorbii’s orbital compute platform. This full time, on-site role in Bengaluru involves owning system architecture for integrated payloads, defining interfaces between solar generation, compute, thermal management, and communications subsystems, and guiding hardware and firmware design decisions. You will oversee engineering teams across aerospace, mechanical, electrical, and embedded domains; review detailed designs, simulations, and test plans; and ensure that reliability, safety,



and mission-critical performance requirements are met.

Day-to-day responsibilities include coordinating with launch and satellite partners, managing technology roadmaps from subsystem prototypes to orbital demonstrators, and building processes for design validation, environmental testing, and in-orbit operations. You will collaborate closely with fellow founders on fundraising and technical due diligence, contribute to customer and partner conversations, and help recruit and mentor a mission-aligned engineering organization.

Qualifications

- Strong background in aerospace systems engineering, including experience with satellite or spacecraft platforms, payload integration, and mission architecture.
- Hands-on expertise in hardware design and development, such as mechanical structures, power systems, and thermal management for space or high-reliability environments.
- Experience leading multidisciplinary engineering teams across domains like electrical, mechanical, embedded, and test engineering, with a track record of shipping complex hardware.
- Familiarity with high-performance computing or data center hardware (servers, accelerators, power distribution, cooling) and its adaptation to constrained or remote environments.
- Knowledge of space environment constraints, including radiation effects, orbital debris, launch loads, and in-orbit servicing considerations, and strategies for mitigation.
- Proficiency with engineering tools and workflows such as CAD, simulation (thermal, structural, orbital), design reviews, and verification and validation processes.
- Comfort
