Bringing space closer to Earth. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
As part of the first 100 employees at Albedo, you will have a big impact on Albedo’s trajectory to proliferating VLEO — whether you’re advancing hardware to increase satellite longevity, scaling production for large constellations, building next-gen flight and ground software to push performance, or enabling missions that matter for national security and our day-to-day life here on Earth. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of experience performing satellite system modeling and simulation
- Full proficiency with modeling orbits and constellations
- Demonstrated experience in producing parametric analyses/optimizations, informing how engineering parameter X affects mission utility metric Y
- Familiarity with satellite subsystems and at least one type of mission payload
- Demonstrated ability to take an open-ended modeling and simulation problem, ask questions, define an approach, and drive towards a working prototype
- Basic familiarity with modern combat systems and doctrines
More about this role
Albedo is making Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) mainstream, building the infrastructure to enable every satellite mission to enter this new orbital domain. We build buses, integrated satellites, and turnkey missions for customers to thrive in VLEO, below 300 km, where proximity compounds performance and drag self-cleans debris.

How We Operate: Albedo takes a first-principles approach — in space and in business. We move with speed, take calculated risks, and learn quickly. We use AI regularly to create leverage in every discipline across the company. We work in-person at our Broomfield, CO HQ to maximize team and company productivity. We work hard and with urgency to compound our first-mover advantage.
Who We're Looking For: Builders who want to own outcomes, not tasks. Systems thinkers who balance...
