Where builders
belong.
Small teams own the hardest
problems. Every subsystem powers a mission that counts.

problems. Every subsystem powers
a mission that counts.
We believe in ownership: if you design it, you see it fly. Pride comes from real hardware, not slide decks. Our teams move fast with autonomy, balancing pace with integrity.
Careers →Greenfield challenges await
Every subsystem contributes to bigger missions, different orbits, and new science. Every design challenge is a doorway to the future.
