Wanna join the adventure?

You will contribute to the development, integration, and optimization of Loft’s Ultimate Edge SDK, which provides unified compute capabilities across various embedded platforms. Your primary focus will be on NVIDIA Orin–based systems, while also assessing portability and performance on additional hardware targets.

Your mission will include:

- Integrating ONNX-based inference runtimes and image-processing frameworks (e.g., ONNX Runtime, OpenCV) into Loft’s SDK.

- Configuring and optimizing GPU-accelerated and heterogeneous runtime environments, ensuring efficient use of available resources.

- Profiling, benchmarking, and performance tuning across multiple embedded platforms.

- Collaborating with other teams in Loft to ensure smooth deployment of edge applications.

- Supporting the continuous improvement of Loft’s onboard compute stack through structured testing, documentation, and validation.

Your work will directly contribute to flight software robustness, system performance, and future onboard computing capabilities for Loft missions.

 *Research shows that while men apply to jobs where they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other underrepresented people tend to only apply when they meet 100% of the qualifications. At Loft, we value respectful debate and people who aren’t afraid to challenge assumptions.  We strongly encourage you to apply, even if you don’t check all the boxes.

Who We Are

Loft: Space Made Simple. 

Founded in 2017, Loft provides governments, companies, and research institutions with a fast, reliable, and simple way to deploy missions in orbit.

We integrate, launch, and operate spacecraft, offering end-to-end missions as a service across Earth observation, IoT connectivity, on-orbit AI, national security missions, and more. Leveraging our existing space infrastructure and an extensive inventory of satellite buses, Loft is reducing years-long integration and launch timelines to months. With more than 30 missions flown, Loft’s flight heritage and proven technologies enable customers to focus on their mission objectives.

With a growing fleet on track to reach 30 satellites by 2027, we are scaling up quickly across our offices in San Francisco, CA | Golden, CO | and Toulouse, France to meet accelerating demand for space infrastructure.
