Company description

ATMOS Works is a dedicated business unit of ATMOS Space Cargo, based in Kraków, with a business unit in Lichtenau, established to serve European government and defence customers. ATMOS Works develops and operates dual‑use orbital capabilities, including the secure, sovereign return of sensitive hardware and data, in‑orbit demonstration and validation (IOD/IOV), and advanced space systems.

ATMOS was founded as a European company built on the values of freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law, and human rights. We are committed to protect these values by making our technology available to others who share the same values, strengthening infrastructure and innovation for prosperity on Earth.

Our team is multinational and diverse, with offices in Lichtenau and Strasbourg. We work in a collegial, hands‑on culture where people support each other, take ownership, and keep learning every day. Motivation for the mission comes first - building spacecraft is not a nine-to-five pursuit. We align the mission, the team, and the individual in mutual dependence. This principle shapes our work environment where exceptional people, as committed as they are competent, can grow and contribute to a mission that matters.
