Who We Are
Loft: Space Made Simple.
Founded in 2017, Loft provides governments, companies, and research institutions with a fast, reliable, and simple way to deploy missions in orbit.
We integrate, launch, and operate spacecraft, offering end-to-end missions as a service across Earth observation, IoT connectivity, on-orbit AI, national security missions, and more. Leveraging our existing space infrastructure and an extensive inventory of satellite buses, Loft is reducing years-long integration and launch timelines to months. With more than 30 missions flown, Loft’s flight heritage and proven technologies enable customers to focus on their mission objectives.
With a growing fleet on track to reach 30 satellites by 2027, we are scaling up quickly across our offices in San Francisco, CA | Golden, CO | and Toulouse, France to meet accelerating demand for space infrastructure.
As an international company your resume will be reviewed by people across our offices so please attach a copy in English.

\n
Conduct a comprehensive Value Stream Map (VSM) of the production floor operations, capturing process flows, cycle times, waste identification, and improvement opportunities across the AIT and manufacturing sequence.
\n
What You'll Deliver
\n
\n- Detailed Value Stream Map of the full production floor
\n- Waste identification and cycle-time analysis report
\n- Improvement opportunity recommendations
\n- Final presentation of findings to operations leadership
\n
\n

Orbitworks’ mission is to make space simple for organizations that want to deploy physical and virtual missions to space. Building on Loft Orbital’s heritage, Orbitworks will be the first commercial firm in the United Arab Emirates to mass-manufacture satellites. Orbitworks aims to manufacture tens of satellites annually and operates out of a 50,000-square-foot facility in Abu Dhabi.
\n
As Orbitworks deploys next-generation Earth Observation capabilities through the Altair program, we are seeking an experienced Senior Full-Stack Web Developer to lead the design and implementation of customer-oriented software solutions that enable mission tasking, data access, analytics, and downstream services.
In this role, you will lead the development of highly interactive, high-performance applications and backend services focused on order management, geospatial datalake systems, and AI-enabled downstream processing. You will work at the intersection of space systems, geospatial intelligence, cloud-native infrastructure, and modern web technologies to create scalable products that directly support Orbitworks’ operational and commercial objectives.
This is a unique opportunity to shape the software backbone of a rapidly growing New Space company, contributing to products that manage and exploit large-scale spatiotemporal datasets in real time. The ideal candidate combines deep software engineering expertise with strong systems thinking, curiosity for innovation, and a passion for building elegant and performant user experiences.
\n
*Research shows that while men apply to jobs where they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other underrepresented people tend to only apply when they meet 100% of the qualifications. At Loft, we value respectful debate and people who aren’t afraid to challenge assumptions. We strongly encourage you to apply, even if you don’t check all the boxes.
Who We Are
Loft: Space Made Simple.
Founded in 2017, Loft provides governments, companies, and research institutions with a fast, reliable, and simple way to deploy missions in orbit.
We integrate, launch, and operate spacecraft, offering end-to-end missions as a service across Earth observation, IoT connectivity, on-orbit AI, national security missions, and more. Leveraging our existing space infrastructure and an extensive inventory of satellite buses, Loft is reducing years-long integration and launch timelines to months. With more than 30 missions flown, Loft’s flight heritage and proven technologies enable customers to focus on their mission objectives.
With a growing fleet on track to reach 30 satellites by 2027, we are scaling up quickly across our offices in San Francisco, CA | Golden, CO | and Toulouse, France to meet accelerating demand for space infrastructure.
