At Orbital Operations, we’re developing a high thrust space vehicle for satellite defense. Our mission is to enable rapid-response orbital capabilities, executing maneuvers without hesitation and without regret.
Don't see what you're looking for in our other positions? No problem.
Are you a rockstar?
We’re looking for incredible people who love tackling all elements of a problem, no matter the field or experience level. If you love owning a challenge from end-to-end, then we want to hear from you! We’re looking for people curious, driven, and ready to move fast. You’ll need to be self-directed, adaptable, and eager to learn in a fast-paced environment where the stakes are high and the mission is clear.
Our Cryogenic Propellant Management System (CPMS) allows us to store liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen out in orbit. Designed for our Astraeus spacecraft, the CPMS paired with a 10,000 lbf engine enables high efficiency, high-thrust maneuverability in low earth, geosynchronous, and cislunar orbits.
Beyond defense, Astraeus is poised to transform commercial orbital logistics. It can slash LEO-to-GEO transit times from six months to just eight hours—unlocking new possibilities for satellite servicing, deployment, and beyond.
