About the company

PICOSATS is a company committed to the research, development and commercialisation of cutting-edge telecommunications systems for the small satellite market and beyond.
The increasing use of small satellites in low orbits for satellite communications and the spectrum congestion has demanded the development of high-frequency, miniaturized telecommunications systems, and PICOSATS has seized the opportunity to enter this rapidly expanding market.
With the founders’ more than 20 years of experience in telecommunications and space mission management, PICOSATS has all the prerequisites to become a market leader in providing SATCOM equipment for the new space frontier: small satellites.
 In PICOSATS we offer an agile working environment, in a highly dynamic sector such as the aerospace industry today, in which it is possible to interact both with innovative start-ups and with established and structured Italian and international companies, as well as with several universities with which there are long-standing collaborative relationships.
The context is young with a strong orientation to cutting-edge technologies and open to multiple research, development and innovation projects.
Despite the still small size of the company, the technical department can count on an already significant endowment of laboratory instrumentation, for the development of which further specific investment programs are planned.
Individual development paths with postgraduate training are also possible and encouraged.
