Why Alba Orbital?

Alba Orbital is a fast growing, Y Combinator backed, high-tech startup whose products are designed for the final frontier… space! Our team designs, builds and tests the world’s most advanced miniaturized spacecraft which are enabling an unprecedented democratization of space to occur. If that doesn't get your heart racing, maybe we are not the right fit for you.

What makes us special?

  • Pace - We turnaround satellites fast! Our current record from order to shipment is 2 days. We are no corporate sloth!

  • Responsibility - We are small therefore there are a lot of jobs and little time. You might need to design a new subsystem from scratch or rework existing designs to make a deadline. The onus is on you to find a way or make a way.

  • Learning - We are literally inventing a new class of satellite. There is no manual. If you don't know, learn quickly.

  • Space - You get your fingerprints on stuff going to space. This is nice to brag to your friends about.

  • Perks - Fun and lively office environment, free beers at our social events and regular rocket launches with your hardware on board!

  • Locations - Our design centre and factory are located in Glasgow, Scotland. We also conduct regular operations with occasional travel to The United States and Germany.
