San Francisco, California, United States Astranis Full time

Astranis is dedicated to closing the digital gap by connecting the four billion individuals globally who currently lack internet access. We are achieving this by developing the next generation of compact, cost-efficient spacecraft to bring connectivity to the world.

As a cohesive unit, we have successfully launched two satellites into orbit, secured ten commercial agreements totaling over $1 billion in revenue, raised upwards of $500 million from leading global investors, and assembled a team of over 300 exceptional engineers. Our operations are based in our historic San Francisco office, which was once a shipbuilding site during the World Wars.

Our satellites, operating from geostationary orbit (GEO), weigh merely 400 kg and utilize a proprietary software-defined radio payload. Each satellite has the capacity to connect over two million individuals, and we are eager for the positive impact we will soon have in regions such as the Philippines, Peru, and Mexico.

Supported by significant funding and a passionate, collaborative team, we provide a fulfilling work environment where you will learn and make a substantial impact, regardless of your career stage.

  • Foster a culture of safety and quality throughout the workplace.
  • Assess proposed designs for manufacturability and integration, collaborating closely with design engineering teams to develop new designs and processes that support factory output growth targets of up to 24 vehicles annually.
  • Develop, maintain, and communicate detailed schedules, ensuring your team and other stakeholders are informed of tasks and deadlines, including resource identification and acquisition.
  • Manage both internal and external manufacturing processes, including vendor management and ROI analysis for insourcing any processes.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Direct management experience of engineers, technicians, and/or welders.
  • Experience with fluid and gas system component design.
  • Specific experience with low thrust monopropellant, green monopropellant, and electric propulsion systems.
