Desirable

• Before a satellite can be launched into orbit, it needs to be financed, procured, manufactured, and tested. As a Software Integrations Engineer, you will play a critical role in building out the infrastructure and business insights that will enable us to build satellites faster and more efficiently
• You will own and implement internal software that powers hardware design, manufacturing, and business intelligence across our satellite development programs
• You’ll work cross-functionally to identify inefficiencies, streamline workflows, and build tools to support our growing fleet of spacecraft. This is an opportunity to own and implement data-driven tools that will enable Astranis to scale our operations across multiple functions
• This role supports both commercial and US Government satellite programs
• Design, implement, and maintain software systems and applications that support hardware engineering, manufacturing, and operational workflows
• Build data warehouse infrastructure and pipelines that will be used to drive decision making across teams
• Design and implement AI agent workflows to automate internal processes
• Integrate with key hardware design, manufacturing and procurement systems such as Altium, Arena, and NetSuite to enable seamless data flow and process alignment
• Identify and implement automation opportunities to eliminate manual steps and increase velocity across engineering and business operations
• Build intuitive, performant user interfaces that provide insights into workflow progress, efficiency metrics, and historical trends
• Collaborate with stakeholders to gather requirements, refine workflows, and propose scalable software solutions
• Own features through the full development lifecycle — from concept and architecture through implementation, test, and deployment
