Open Cosmos Tech Stack

Small satellite operator and earth observation data platform

Defense and Space Manufacturing Harwell, Oxfordshire 201–500 employees Founded 2015 Privately Held

Open Cosmos designs, builds, and operates small satellites for telecommunications, earth observation, and navigation, paired with a data delivery platform. The tech stack reveals a dual engineering focus: satellite command-and-control (MATLAB, Simulink, FPGA, ASIC, STK) alongside modern cloud infrastructure (Azure, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, React). Current hiring skews heavily toward engineering and data roles across Spain, Portugal, and Canada, while active projects span high-fidelity LEO simulation, computer vision pipelines, and AI-powered earth observation—indicating aggressive product expansion beyond launch services into analytics and autonomous capabilities.

About Open Cosmos

Open Cosmos operates a vertically integrated satellite business: designing and building small satellites in-house, managing a constellation in orbit, and delivering processed earth observation data through a platform. The company serves telecommunications, earth observation, navigation, and science segments. At 201–500 employees, the organization balances hardware engineering (payload and mission design) with software teams scaling a data platform and backend services. Current focus areas include mission simulation, computer vision for satellite imagery analysis, and LLM-orchestrated workflows that combine earth observation data with AI inference.
