Base pay range

$120,000.00/yr - $150,000.00/yr

As a team, we’ve launched five satellites into orbit, signed ten commercial deals worth over $1 billion in revenue, raised over $750 million from top global investors, and recruited a team of over 400 world-class engineers. We all work out of our (legendary) San Francisco office, which was once used to build ships during the World Wars.

Our satellites, which operate from geostationary orbit (GEO), weigh only 400 kg and utilize a proprietary software-defined radio payload. Each satellite can connect over two million people, and we’re very excited for the impact we’ll soon have in the Philippines, Peru, Mexico, and more!

Backed by substantial funding and a passionate, collaborative team, we offer a rewarding work environment where you'll learn and make a significant impact, no matter where you are in your career.

We are seeking a highly capable Full-Stack Engineer to build the software systems that enable automated testing, manufacturing, and real-time control of our flight hardware and spacecraft. You will work across disciplines—hardware, embedded, operations, production, and software—to design full-stack applications that automate and validate critical flight components and support test, integration, and ground control.

This is a high-impact, multidisciplinary role. You’ll own the development of internal tools used to test, operate, and monitor spacecraft—ranging from low-level hardware interfaces to web-based control panels for telemetry and command operations.

Role:

  • Design and implement software systems that support automated testing of hardware components and spacecraft systems.
  • Own UI and backend development for internal tools used in test infrastructure, manufacturing and spacecraft operations.
  • Write robust, scalable software interfaces for electrical and embedded systems, including drivers for test instrumentation and ground support equipment.
  • Develop component- and system-level automated test infrastructure using Python and full-stack tools.
  • Work closely with satellite operators and manufacturing technicians to build UI workflows that streamline mission operations, command execution, and telemetry visualization.
  • Drive cross-functional collaboration on software architecture, technical design, and hardware/software test strategy.
  • Contribute to recruiting and interviewing efforts as we scale the team.

Requirements:

  • 3+ years of professional experience as a full-stack software engineer (excluding internships).
  • Strong proficiency with Python and experience developing tools for hardware or embedded systems.
  • Experience building and maintaining REST APIs and backend services.
  • Comfortable working in Linux, using shell tools, and managing source control with Git.
  • Experience with SQL/relational databases (e.g., Postgres).
  • Experience with test instrumentation, schematics, and debugging interfaces between software and hardware.
  • Strong understanding of automated test strategies and validation workflows for embedded or hardware-integrated systems.

Bonus:

  • Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or containerized deployments.
  • Familiarity with design systems and rapid UI prototyping for internal tooling.
  • Background in satellite operations, aerospace, or real-time telemetry systems.
  • Experience building and deploying sw for a manufacturing environment.
  • Experience reading datasheets, debugging analog/digital interfaces, and working with tools like oscilloscopes or logic analyzers.

What we offer:

All our positions offer a compensation package that includes equity and robust benefits.

Base pay is a single component of Astranis's total rewards package, which may also include equity in the form of incentive stock options, high quality company-subsidized healthcare, disability and life insurance benefits, flexible PTO, 401(K) retirement, and free on-site catered meals.

Astranis pay ranges are informed and defined through professional-grade salary surveys and compensation data sources. The actual base salary offered to a successful candidate will additionally be influenced by a variety of factors including experience, credentials & certifications, educational attainment, skill level requirements, and the level and scope of the position.

$120,000 - $150,000 USD

U.S. Citizenship, Lawful Permanent Residency, or Refugee/Asylee Status Required

(To comply with U.S. Government space technology export regulations, applicant must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the United States, or other protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3))

Our mission and our products are meant to connect the world and everyone in it, regardless of gender, race, creed, or any other distinction. We believe in a diverse and inclusive workplace, and we encourage all people to join our team and bring their unique perspective to help make us stronger.
