About Orbital Materials

At Orbital, we're reinventing the way advanced materials are discovered — using AI to replace slow, trial-and-error R&D with fast, rational design. Our technology powers breakthroughs across sustainability, clean energy, and high-performance materials.

Now, we’re looking for a Science Writer to help us translate cutting-edge science into compelling, clear, and engaging content for a technical audience.

What You’ll Do

  • Write and edit long-form scientific content (e.g. blogs, explainers, thought leadership) related to AI for science, materials chemistry, and deep tech.
  • Translate complex research into accessible narratives for scientists, engineers, and domain-aware stakeholders.
  • Collaborate closely with Orbital’s science and engineering teams to surface insights and shape storytelling.
  • Track developments in scientific AI, materials innovation, and related fields to help position Orbital as a thought leader.
  • Contribute to content across our blog, social media, investor comms, and conference presence.

What We’re Looking For

  • Demonstrated experience in science writing, technical communication, or research storytelling.
  • A strong grasp of one or more of the following areas: materials science, chemistry, physics, biotechnology, or AI for science.
  • Ability to write for a technically literate audience — think researchers, engineers, or investors in deep tech.
  • Excellent editorial judgment, structure, and attention to scientific accuracy.
  • A proactive, curious mindset — you’re excited by new ideas and able to dive into unfamiliar topics.

Nice to Have

  • Background in science journalism, research, or content roles in deeptech/biotech/AI startups.
  • Experience working with subject matter experts to produce content.
  • Understanding of SEO, digital publishing, or analytics (optional).

What We Offer

  • Flexible working — remote, hybrid, freelance or permanent considered
  • The chance to help shape the public narrative around AI for materials discovery
  • Direct collaboration with scientists and founders at the forefront of innovation
  • Competitive compensation tailored to experience and contract type
