Small-satellite manufacturing with industrial AIT and serial production at scale
Space Industries operates a 2,000+ sqm clean-room facility in Turin focused on assembly, integration, and testing (AIT) for satellites up to 600 kg. The tech stack—C, Python, LabVIEW, TestStand, CATIA, ANSYS, SolidWorks—reflects a vertically integrated hardware engineering operation. Active hiring skews heavily toward engineering (11 roles), with a CTO and ongoing focus on AIT process standardization and test-bench commissioning, indicating they're scaling manufacturing infrastructure rather than platform software.
Notable leadership hires: Chief Technology Officer
Space Industries manufactures small satellites through streamlined production workflows, targeting aerospace OEMs, startups, and defense customers. Based in Turin and backed by the Comat Group's industrial heritage, the company positions itself as Europe's first private operator capable of serial satellite production at this scale. The facility includes clean rooms and ground-support equipment (EGSE) for RF/EMC testing and compliance verification. Current work centers on AIT process standardization, team training, and facility expansion—reflecting a business in early scaling phase managing lead-time reduction and operational reliability.
Engineering tools: C, Python, LabVIEW, TestStand, CATIA, ANSYS, SolidWorks, COMSOL. Infrastructure: Windows, Linux, Azure AD, SIEM. Design/simulation: AutoCAD, SolidWorks. Test equipment: Oscilloscope.
AIT process standardization and training, commissioning new test benches, RF/EMC test campaigns, EGSE system design, facility efficiency improvements, and methodologies to reduce satellite lead times and manufacturing costs.
