At Loft Orbital, we just successfully launched our first 2 satellites that we fly and operate ourselves. With a number of smallsats scheduled to launch in the near future, we are actively looking for a Test Engineer to help us carry out those missions! 🛰️🛰️🛰️
*We are ideally looking for someone able to work on-site in our Golden, CO facility.
About Loft Orbital
Loft Orbital provides the fastest and simplest path to orbit for organizations that require information from space. We operate satellites, fly customer payloads onboard, and handle the entire mission from initial concept through in-orbit operations. This service is powered by our hardware and software products that enable any payload to fly on a standard satellite, reducing the lead-time and risk of a traditional space mission. Our standard interfacing and mission operations products enable us to fly any kind of payload, such as imagers, RF systems, scientific experiments, national security missions, in-orbit demonstrations, and weather and climate sensors. Our customers trust us to manage their space infrastructure, so they can focus on what matters most to them: operate their mission and collect their data.
We build “shareable” satellites to make it easier and faster for our customers to access space.
This means that we embark multiple customers on the same satellite to do things like take pictures, support IoT connectivity, act as blockchain nodes, etc. By doing so, we can fit customers into both missions already planned for launch, or satellites already deployed in space!
This service is powered by our hardware and software products that provide standardized interfaces to our customers, reducing the lead-time and risk of a traditional space mission.
At Loft, you'll be given the autonomy and ownership to solve significant challenges, but with a close-knit and supportive team at your back. We believe that diversity and community are the foundation of an open culture. We are committed to hiring the best people regardless of background and make their time at Loft the most fulfilling period of their career. With a wave of exciting customer traction, we are scaling up quickly across our teams and within our three offices located in San Francisco, CA; Golden, CO; and Toulouse, France.
Wanna join the adventure?
Loft Orbital's mission is to make space simple for organizations that need to collect information about the Earth. We provide space infrastructure as a service where multiple customer payloads are flown on a single spacecraft platform through Loft's in-house Payload Accommodation Module.
The Test Engineer will be responsible for conducting hands-on AIT operations for Loft's spacecraft. You will work with Loft Orbital’s engineering, software, and mission management teams to verify the performance of internal avionics and customer payloads through preparation, implementation, and participation in electrical, functional and environmental testing for each mission.
*Even if you don't "check all the boxes", we strongly encourage you to still apply.
