Alongside its own development programmes, ArcSpace leads work in collaborative European R&D projects with industrial and research partners. We are looking for a systems engineer with experience leading collaborative R&D projects to run this work day to day, from hardware development and testing to demonstration, and to take a hands-on role in integration and testing.

As ArcSpace moves its technology from the laboratory towards flight, we are looking for a confirmed mechatronics engineer to develop, operate and improve our vacuum test infrastructure, and to strengthen the electronics and control of our hardware development.

Wanna join the adventure? Loft’s Onboard Software group provides the on-orbit software that powers our core products. This is responsible for monitoring and control of major space program elements, including: Flight Products computational environments (including physical and virtual processors); Interfaces with external equipment (imagers, RF , ISL); and Interfaces with the spacecraft bus. Hyperdrive is the common platform powering every onboard service across our spacecraft. The team builds the core capabilities other onboard services need to run mission logic—from interactions and housekeeping to events, automated fault detection and recovery, and lifecycle management. By making complex spacecraft software consistent, observable, and resilient, Hyperdrive helps teams move faster while keeping missions safe in orbit.     About this role: Design, implement, and refine software with a high degree of ownership, driving impactful features from...

Wanna join the adventure? Loft’s Onboard Software group provides the on-orbit software that powers our satellite fleet — from the Linux services running on the Hub’s onboard computers, to the containerized workloads executing customer applications in low Earth orbit. The Peripheral Services team owns the software that integrates third-party devices and payloads into Loft’s standardized satellite platform. We enable the control and monitoring of many key spacecraft components, including optical payloads, radios, power controllers, and GNSS receivers. Many of these components are reused across all satellite programs and form the building blocks of our onboard architecture. The applications developed by our team handle the low-level communication protocol details, exposing the connected devices behind standardized APIs used across mission operations. The team is also responsible for the automation and orchestration that allows Loft to safely and reliably operate the...

Wanna join the adventure? Loft Orbital's mission is to make space simple.

The Customer Delivery team turns signed contracts into working missions on orbit and supports our customers from start to finish. As a Technical Program Manager, Customer Delivery, you maintain the engine that drives the Customer Delivery team forward. You connect Loft's product development efforts to our customer value stream, ensuring the team has the right capabilities, tools, and plans to execute customer missions. You will work alongside our Customer Delivery Engineers (CDEs), who design and execute each customer mission, by building the development plans and capability portfolio they draw on to deliver value to our customers. You will own Mission Development Plans that coordinate work across engineering, product, and operations teams; manage the...

Wanna join the adventure? Loft Orbital is redefining how satellites are built and deployed. We provide a fast, simple, and reliable path to orbit by combining standardized space vehicles, mission-specific payload integration, and end-to-end mission execution. As a Harness Design Engineer, you’ll help design the electrical harnesses that connect spacecraft systems, avionics, payloads, and test equipment. You’ll work across electrical systems, mechanical engineering, manufacturing, and integration & test to turn electrical interfaces into reliable, production-ready hardware. This is a great opportunity for an earlier career candidate with a strong electrical engineering foundation and an interest in developing expertise in spacecraft harness design.     About this role: Design electrical harnesses for spacecraft, payloads, and test systems. Translate schematics, ICDs, pinouts, and electrical interfaces into harness designs. Create harness schematics...

Wanna join the adventure? Loft Orbital flies other people's payloads and software on standardized satellites, and we are building the first marketplace for space-based AI applications: the store where partners publish, deploy, and monetize AI solutions that run on satellites in orbit. We are hiring the founding developer of that marketplace. You will work directly with the Director of Marketplace to take the platform from MVP to the system behind dozens of partner solutions, on a small team where you own features end-to-end and ship weekly.   About this role: Build the Marketplace storefront, partner portal, and admin tooling. Design and implement the APIs and services behind them: catalog, onboarding, entitlements, and metering. Integrate with our mission platform for authentication, workflow triggers, and solution deployment in close collaboration with engineering teams. Build connectors for third-party constellations and data providers. Own quality: tests,...

Wanna join the adventure? At Loft, we are convinced that space programs should not have to be rebuilt from scratch every time. Our philosophy has been to productize them: we develop our own proprietary technology blocks, hardware and software, so that a customer payload can be integrated faster and more reliably than any bespoke program allows. That approach has delivered — it is why our customers reach orbit in months rather than years, and it is what makes working here different from working in the rest of the industry. We are now taking the next step: launching and operating our own constellations, and building a new set of services on top of them. That includes a full product suite enabling third-party AI applications to run directly onboard our satellites, and a growing ecosystem of partners whose needs we have to understand and design for. Loft is expanding at a very high pace, and the range of what we build is expanding just as fast. This is why Product Management...

Wanna join the adventure?   Customer Delivery Engineers (CDEs) own the end-to-end deployment and execution of customer satellite missions at Loft. We serve as the primary technical interface to our customers and translate mission objectives into operational reality, from early requirements and ConOps development through commissioning, on-orbit operations, and continuous improvement.   CDEs operate real spacecraft and work directly with customers to build mission applications on top of Loft’s API and operational infrastructure. You will translate mission objectives into executable workflows, configurations, and tooling that ensure reliable, scalable on-orbit execution. You will sit at the intersection of satellite operations, customer engineering, software development, systems engineering, and program execution, delivering meaningful outcomes for every mission you support.       About this role: Serve as the primary technical interface for customer missions,...

Wanna join the adventure?   As a Site Reliability Engineer with strong networking skills in our Cloud Infrastructure (SRE) team, you help the team own the networks that keep Loft running: cloud networking, VPN and site-to-site connectivity, segmentation, and routing across our offices, test equipment, and ground stations. You keep them reliable, observable, and secure as we scale. You coordinate with IT on the network components that interface with the physical infrastructure used by employees. You coordinate with the Test-Infrastructure team to ensure our test equipment is securely accessible. You’ll work the way an SRE team works: defining reliability in measurable terms (SLOs for connectivity and ground-station availability), instrumenting the systems that prove it, managing the network as code, and automating away toil so on-call load doesn’t grow with the fleet. Beyond the network, you’ll help the SRE team across its broader scope by participating in all the...
