Astranis Space Technologies Tech Stack
Low-cost geostationary satellites for global broadband and government missions
Astranis designs and manufactures geostationary satellites for commercial broadband and government contracts. The engineering-dominant hiring mix (141 of 198 active roles) paired with substantial manufacturing and operations headcount reflects a company executing hardware production at scale—not pure software. Stack is split across embedded systems (C/C++, FPGA, radiation-hardened electronics) and ground infrastructure (Python, React, GNU Radio). Pain points cluster around execution velocity and reliability: streamlining operations, removing scheduling obstacles, screening long-term defects, and accelerating development suggest a company managing the complexity of going from design to orbit.
