Optical communications and photonics payloads for satellite and space systems
MBRYONICS designs and manufactures optical payloads and ground stations for next-generation satellite systems, with deep expertise in FreeForm optics and photonic integrated circuits. The stack reveals a hardware-embedded focus (C/C++, RTOS, I2C, CAN bus, SolidWorks, NX, ANSYS, Lumerical) paired with modern DevOps practices (Git, Python, CI/CD scaling). The engineering-heavy hiring mix (27 of 43 open roles) and active projects around manufacturing scale-up, cost accounting, and yield optimization signal a company transitioning from prototype-stage work into series production.
MBRYONICS is a photonics and optical systems integrator based in Galway, Ireland, specializing in optical communications, laser ranging, and sensor networks for space applications. The company designs and manufactures optical payloads, ground stations, and photonic integrated circuits for satellite inter-satellite communications, feeder links, and domain awareness systems. Core capabilities span optical and photonics engineering, embedded software, industrial design, and manufacturing assembly, integration, and test (MAIT). Active projects include starcom optical terminal assembly, optical communications systems integration, and the build-out of internal cost accounting and CI/CD infrastructure—reflecting growth from R&D-led operations toward scaled manufacturing.
C/C++, Embedded Linux, RTOS, real-time protocols (I2C, UART, CAN bus, RS-422, Ethernet), design tools (SolidWorks, NX, ANSYS, Lumerical, Klayout), simulation and data analysis (NumPy, Pandas, SciPy, Tableau, Power BI), and version control (Git).
Starcom optical terminal assembly, optical communications systems integration, new product introductions, scaling CI/CD pipelines, cost accounting system implementation, manufacturing yield optimization, and development of independent software testing capabilities.
