MICROGEO TEAM CAREERS CONTACT We are taking on one of humanity's most important challenges. Four billion people do not have access to the internet. Astranis is going to change that. We are building the next generation of smaller, lower-cost telecommunications satellites to bring the world online. Join us and work with top engineers who have flown things in space before. We are a well-funded team that moves fast. WHO WE ARE We’re engineers. We're entrepreneurs. We’re pilots, climbers, and Killer Queen enthusiasts. We speak twenty-one languages (not counting programming). We've worked at SpaceX, OneWeb, Blue Origin, Skybox, SSL, Planet Labs, Qualcomm, IDEO, Google, Apple, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Hughes, and NASA. And we've all chosen to work together to improve global internet access.
