Job description

Be one of the Bedo 100

Albedo is making Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) mainstream, building the infrastructure to enable every satellite mission to enter this new orbital domain. We build buses, integrated satellites, and turnkey missions for customers to thrive in VLEO, below 300 km, where proximity compounds performance and drag self-cleans debris.

As part of the first 100 employees at Albedo, you will have a big impact on Albedo's trajectory to proliferating VLEO - whether you're advancing hardware to increase satellite longevity, scaling production for large constellations, building next-gen flight and ground software to push performance, or enabling missions that matter for national security and our day-to-day life here on Earth.

How We Operate: Albedo takes a first-principles approach - in space and in business. We move with speed, take calculated risks, and learn quickly. We use AI regularly to create leverage in every discipline across the company. We work in-person at our Broomfield, CO HQ to maximize team and company productivity. We work hard and with urgency to compound our first-mover advantage.

Who We're Looking For: Builders who want to own outcomes, not tasks. Systems thinkers who balance precision with iteration while thinking about the big picture. Individuals who are energized by creating a category rather than competing in an existing one. You'll join a team that has already proven what others said wasn't feasible and is now scaling and upgrading our VLEO buses & payloads to serve mission sets across sensing, communications, and responsive operations.

What You'll Do:

• Design, build, and integrate electrical ground support equipment (EGSE), including test racks, harnessing, and supporting hardware used for spacecraft integration and test.
• Support the design and execution of the flatsat testbed used for hardware/software integration,
• Perform hands-on electrical assembly, including soldering, crimping, connector assembly, cable routing, continuity checks, and harness inspection.
• Troubleshoot electrical hardware and test setups using standard lab equipment such as digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, and logic analyzers.
• Work closely with electrical, software, systems, and AI&T engineers to bring spacecraft hardware from initial design through integration and test.

Your Ideal Skills and Experience:

• Currently pursuing a B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering or a related technical field.
• Able to work effectively in a fast-paced, collaborative engineering environment.
• Attention to detail and an appreciation for workmanship, documentation, and repeatable hardware assembly

Nice to have:

• Hands-on experience with soldering, crimping, or electronics assembly
• Experience building and troubleshooting electrical systems using common laboratory equipment such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, or logic analyzers.

Hourly Rate: $25-$29/hour

Compensation and Benefits for Full-Time Roles:

• Employee friendly equity compensation
• 4% direct matching 401k
• Health Insurance: 100% employee coverage & 75% dependent coverage
• Parental leave and childcare coverage
• Flexible vacation and sick time from day one
• 12 company holidays
• $100 monthly wellness benefit
• Relocation package if not based in Denver

The final compensation package is subject to change if the candidate's experience and company need drive a different job level than originally slated for the position.
