Satellite imagery is a historically-scarce resource, whose adoption has been slowed by an unbalanced relationship between price and resolution. In theory, frequent, ultra-high-resolution imagery of Earth has near-infinite applications; in reality, only a sliver of that potential has been realized.
Albedo aims to be the catalyst in unlocking satellite imagery’s latent potential, hoping to expand current applications and propel the discovery of new use cases. Whether our imagery is being used to reduce wildfire risk, assess the environmental impact of global forestry, contribute to timely 3D reconstructions of urban areas, or monitor carbon emissions from industrial power plants, our mission is to get better data into the hands of decision-makers fast. We’re modernizing how satellite imagery is used by providing near real-time access to our ultra-high resolution data.
What We’re Up To: Albedo is developing a novel approach to the earth observation industry, both in space and with our business model. We are intentionally doing things differently by taking (calculated) risks, trying new things, and moving with speed. Our team believes satellite imagery is a valuable resource that should be made accessible, in every sense of the word. We are committed to our customers, ensuring that what we’re building is what they want. We are playing at the edges of how traditional New Space technologies have been approached, and we want to shake up the industry as it stands today.
Who We’re Looking For: Albedo is launching next-generation, ultra-high-resolution imaging satellites to service a global audience through a modern, cloud-based product interface. In order to achieve this goal, we are looking for a team of people who are both passionate about our mission and are willing to put in the work to design, develop, and test an innovative earth observation concept in the commercial industry. The times ahead will be set in a fast-paced, often uncertain environment, but if you are hard-working, kind, and team-oriented, you can expect a rewarding and purposeful experience.

What You'll Do

  • Build emulation and simulation systems for proving out our VLEO, high-resolution imager
  • With a fast-paced, hands-on mindset, you’ll make the stuff that makes stuff work. More specifically - in order to bring Albedo’s test beds to life, you will:

  • Apply your deep understanding of real-time control systems, including emulation and simulation principles and practices
  • Create, maintain or interpret engineering schematics, interface control documents, and pinout diagrams for complex test systems
  • Integrate electrical support equipment with flight hardware: plan and execute end-to-end testing, debug and safe-to-mate test procedures
  • Support spacecraft test and verification activities
  • Operate with a strong safety mentality - plan and conduct safety-critical operations

Your Ideal Skills and Experience

  • Background in controls, electrical, computer software, robotics, avionics, or mechatronics engineering with a strong electrical skill set
  • Ability to build complex electronics equipment used in multiple vehicle test environments
  • Exposure to the launch vehicle, aircraft, or spacecraft test and verification activities
  • Experience designing and/or operating vehicle test hardware or RF communications systems
  • Experience using multi-meters, signal generators, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and power equipment
  • Experience with Zuken, PSPICE, LTSPICE, MATLAB, MATHCAD, LabVIEW, TestStand, or similar products is desirable
  • Experience or coursework in circuit design and circuit analysis is a plus

Compensation and Benefits

  • Employee friendly equity compensation
  • Remote-first, asynchronous culture with flexible working hours
  • 4% direct matching 401k
  • Insurance: Medical, Vision, Dental, Mental Health
  • Parental leave and childcare coverage
