Space systems engineering and Earth observation software for agencies and primes
SPACEBEL designs and builds mission-critical software for space infrastructure and Earth monitoring, serving space agencies and aerospace primes across 50+ missions. The tech stack—C, Python, Qt, WebAssembly—reflects a company transitioning from embedded/real-time systems toward modern cross-platform delivery; adoption of Model Context Protocol signals early-stage exploration of AI tooling in simulation and data pipelines. Engineering and sales hiring are evenly balanced at mid-level, suggesting a scaling phase focused on execution rather than leadership.
