Astranis is on a mission to bridge the digital divide by connecting the four billion people worldwide who currently lack internet access. We're doing this by building the next generation of smaller, more cost-effective spacecraft to bring the world online.
As a team, we've launched two satellites into orbit, signed ten commercial deals worth over $1 billion in revenue, raised over $500 million from top global investors, and recruited a team of over 300 world-class engineers. We all work out of our (legendary) San Francisco office, which was once used to build ships during the World Wars.
Our satellites, which operate from geostationary orbit (GEO), weigh only 400 kg and utilize a proprietary software-defined radio payload. Each satellite can connect over two million people, and we're very excited for the impact we'll soon have in the Philippines, Peru, Mexico, and more!
Backed by substantial funding and a passionate, collaborative team, we offer a rewarding work environment where you'll learn and make a significant impact, no matter where you are in your career.
Apply and join us on our journey towards global connectivity!
Astranis Creative Studios
Over the past 18 months, Astranis has gone from a six-year-old company with a very limited public presence to a company recognized for its exceptional content - which has documented the company's first satellite launch, the sale of ten more satellites to customers all around the world, and our mission to connect the world. But we're not stopping there. We have ambitious plans to grow the Astranis brand in ways that few other companies have attempted, and we need your help.
Our secret weapon? Small, creative, and empowered teams. We captivate our audiences (customers, investors, talent, etc.) with innovative content, campaigns, and storytelling that showcases what makes Astranis unique. From original shows and documentaries to viral hits, out-of-this-world merchandise - and the periodic rocket launch launch campaign - we think big and different.
By joining Astranis Creative Studios you'll help connect the remaining 4 billion to affordable internet while taking your career to new heights. (35,786 km high to be specific.)
