Orbital Outpost Italy (OO-IT) is an affiliate company of Space Robotics Workers, and it is part of the Space Infrastructures Ventures Group. Orbital Outpost Italy was founded under the vision that space exploration is about to take humankind on its next great leap into the reaches of our solar system. Starting in Low Earth Orbit and expanding outwards to Cis-Lunar and Mars operations and beyond in the coming decades will require a growth in in-space operations and we are dedicated to solving the problems in making those space-based operations possible via our engineering efforts. OO-IT is at the forefront of developing advanced water electrolyzers (ELZ) and Life Support Systems for space applications. Our innovative solutions provide pressurized hydrogen and oxygen gases for rocket fuel, fuel cells, and life support systems.
We are seeking an Electrochemical Engineer to lead the development and optimization of our space-grade electrolyzers and Life Support System (ECLSS).
