Shape your career and
the future of science and
technology

It all starts with an application

At ResearchSat, we are innovative problem solvers, just like you. No operation on earth has our unique
blend of portfolio diversity, stability and mobility. Here, you get much more than a one-and-done
job. You work across four mission-critical disciplines united by a common cause: translating microgravity biology into pharmaceutical development decisions.

_Disciplines

Four disciplines.
One mission.

ResearchSat sits at the intersection of pharmaceutical development, space engineering, and data science. Every function contributes directly to the mission: making microgravity a routine part of drug and formulation development decisions.

01

Payload Engineering

Design and qualify autonomous biological payload systems for sub-orbital and orbital environments. Work spans thermal management, closed-loop fluidics, sensor integration, and launch-qualification testing to ESA and NASA payload standards.

02

Space Biology

Experimental design, cell culture and microbial assay protocols, protein formulation studies — all adapted for microgravity hardware constraints. Data deliverables are CMC-grade and structured for IND/BLA regulatory submission.

03

Business Development

Partner development with pharma and biotech sponsors, government agencies, and academic institutions. Mission scoping, feasibility assessment, contract structuring, and sponsor relationship management across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America.

04

Data & Bioinformatics

Post-flight data pipelines, sequencing and omics analysis, formulation stability modelling, and structured data-package preparation for regulatory submissions. Tools include Python, R, and custom instrument telemetry integration.

_How we work

What working at ResearchSat means.

Real missions, real data

Your work goes to orbit. Payloads you help build fly on sounding rockets and orbital platforms. The data they produce informs pharmaceutical development decisions for named sponsors — not internal prototypes or demos.

Small team, large surface area

ResearchSat is a small, senior team. There is no siloing by role — you will touch experiment design, sponsor communication, hardware integration, and mission reporting across a single mission lifecycle.

Pharmaceutical-grade rigour

We publish in peer-reviewed journals (npj Microgravity, Nature portfolio; Frontiers) and produce CMC-grade data packages. The bar for experimental documentation and chain-of-custody is pharmaceutical, not academic.

Adelaide-based, globally connected

Headquartered in Adelaide, South Australia — a growing aerospace and defence hub. You will work with sponsors, space agencies, and launch partners across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America from day one.

_Applications

How to apply

Open positions are listed on LinkedIn. If no current role matches your background but your expertise is directly relevant — payload engineering, space biology, pharma business development, or bioinformatics — send a brief introduction and CV to info@researchsat.space. We review all applications and respond to those that are a genuine fit.
