Earth observation and universe imaging payloads for small satellites
SATLANTIS manufactures optical payloads and full satellite solutions for Earth and universe observation missions. The stack—VBA, Python, C/C++, SCADA, Altium Designer, Docker, Kubernetes on AWS—suggests a hardware-software hybrid operation with embedded systems at the core and cloud infrastructure for ground operations. Active projects span ESA astrophysics missions, LEOP (Launch and Early Operations Phase), and mission operations, while pain points cluster around mission-critical software reliability, preventive maintenance, and ISO 9001 compliance—typical friction points for space hardware where failures are irreversible.
SATLANTIS designs and manufactures observation payloads—optical sensors, imaging systems, and complete small-satellite solutions—for Earth observation and astrophysics missions. The company controls its own optical channels and sensor design end-to-end, serving government, commercial, and scientific space operators in Europe. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Leioa, Spain, the company operates as a private hardware manufacturer with 51–200 employees. Current hiring is concentrated in Spain across engineering (embedded systems, software) and operations roles at mid to senior levels.
SATLANTIS uses C/C++ and Python for core software, SCADA for systems monitoring, Altium Designer for hardware design, Git for version control, Docker and Kubernetes for containerization, AWS for cloud infrastructure, and Linux for embedded systems.
