Why Alba Orbital?
Alba Orbital is a fast growing, Y Combinator backed, high-tech startup whose products are designed for the final frontier… space! Our team designs, builds and tests the world’s most advanced miniaturized spacecraft which are enabling an unprecedented democratization of space to occur. We're looking for engineers, technicians, writers and business professionals who enjoy taking ownership, learning quickly and solving difficult problems.
What makes us special?
Pace - We turn around satellites fast! Our current record from order to shipment is 2 days!
Responsibility - We are small therefore there are a lot of jobs and little time. From your first week, you'll own real projects. You might need to design a new subsystem from scratch or rework existing designs to make a deadline. Senior staff will help you find or make your path to success.
Learning - We are literally inventing a new class of satellite. There is no manual. If you don't know, learn quickly.
Space - You'll work on hardware that's destined for space, something few people can claim with pride.
Perks - Fun and lively office environment, free beers at our social events and regular rocket launches with your hardware on board!
Locations - Our design centre and factory are located in Glasgow, Scotland. We also conduct regular operations with occasional travel to The United States and Germany.
