Build the logistics
layer of orbit


D-Orbit Space is growing a U.S. team in Boulder, Colorado to deliver in-orbit logistics for American government and commercial customers — on a platform that has already flown, under contract with the Defense Innovation Unit and the Space Development Agency.

Why here

An operating business,
not a science project

Most companies in this market are a demonstration looking for a business model. We already run the business. What is new is the contract structure — not the physics.

The hardware is real

Three ION carriers sit in our Boulder facility today, and the platform has 23 orbital transportation missions behind it. You will not spend two years on slides.

Funded work, named customer

A $24 million award from DIU and the Space Development Agency, with D-Orbit Space as prime contractor. The mission has a customer and a date.

Small team, real ownership

The U.S. team is early. Engineers here own subsystems outright rather than a corner of someone else's.

Hard problems on purpose

Autonomous approach and capture of a tumbling object that was never designed to be caught. There is no cookbook for this.

American work, global engineering

U.S. avionics, U.S. flight software and a U.S. supply chain, with two decades of platform engineering behind you in Europe.

Boulder, Colorado

Headquarters, clean room and integration all in one building, in the middle of the U.S. space corridor.

Open positions

Who we are hiring

All roles are based at our Boulder, Colorado headquarters.

Do not see your role? We are always interested in strong spacecraft engineers, mission operators and program managers. Send a CV and a note about what you want to work on.

How to apply

want to build

Send a CV and a short note naming the role you want and the problem you want to own. We read every one.

Eligibility. Our work supports U.S. government programs with cybersecurity and export-control requirements. Most roles require the ability to work in the United States without sponsorship, and some require U.S. person status under ITAR. Each job description states what applies.

D-Orbit Space, Inc. is an equal opportunity employer.

How we hire

  1. Introduction

    A conversation about your work and what we are building. No take-home before we have both decided it is worth your time.

  2. Technical discussion

    A working session with the engineers you would sit next to, on a real problem from the program.

  3. Meet the team

    Leadership and the wider team, in Boulder where possible.

  4. Offer

    We move quickly once we know. You will not wait weeks for an answer.
