Turion Space Tech Stack

Spacecraft design and operations for national security and commercial space missions

Defense and Space Manufacturing Irvine, California 51–200 employees Founded 2021 Privately Held

Turion Space builds operational spacecraft for satellite servicing, debris mitigation, and space domain awareness. The tech stack—C++, Python, MATLAB, FreeRTOS, Xilinx FPGAs, and traditional ERP/MES systems (SAP, Oracle, Costpoint)—reflects a hardware-forward organization managing both embedded flight software and complex supply-chain operations. Hiring is heavily skewed toward senior engineers (19 of 27 roles) across the stack, with concurrent projects in production scaling, supplier management, and trajectory analysis; pain points cluster around supply-chain risk and on-time delivery, signaling operational maturity constraints as they move from prototype (DROID.001, DROID.002 launched) toward sustained manufacturing.
