Your mission

Make space missions sustainable! Develop the first ever collision avoidance and frequency coordination framework with the most modern technologies and tools the world has to offer for the OKAPI platform. So far, sustainable spaceflight is performed as externality:
Mission plans are derived accounting for payload operations, ground station contacts, loading cycles etc. Interference with third party objects, like space debris, but also other operational satellite are taken as external factor which interrupt the plan of operations and service delivery. Depending on your profile, we will find the right mission for you that will launch you to your next job at our company!

Depending on your profile, we will discuss possible positions with you. In the best case, you already know what you want to do.

Whether you have years of experience, are a recent university graduate, looking for an internship or working student position, we are looking forward to your application. Herby, we do not mind whether your background is in business related fields, programming or space engineering. Also applicants from other fields are welcome to apply. For us it is only important that you know what you can contribute to us and love what you do!
