Be one of the Bedo 100

Albedo is revolutionizing the space industry by building technology to commercialize Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO). Our first satellite, Clarity-1, is built upon our Precision bus, our VLEO-optimized platform designed specifically to thrive where other satellites cannot. With the successful launch of Clarity-1, we've proven our ability to deliver the highest resolution visible (10cm) and thermal (2m) imagery available commercially from space—a resolution previously possible only with aircraft and drones, but now available globally and on-demand.

Through the next couple of years, our focuses will be scaling production of our Precision bus to support the growing Clarity constellation and serving our customers the highest-resolution data. As part of the first 100 employees at Albedo, you will have a direct impact on on the above goals, whether that’s working directly on hardware to enhance our performance in VLEO, optimizing the pointing algorithms of our agile satellite, or delivering imagery to reduce wildfire risk, monitor carbon emissions from industrial power plants, or inform decision-makers on national security matters.

How We Operate:

Albedo has developed a novel approach to Very Low Earth Orbit, both in space and with our business model. We are intentionally doing things differently by taking (calculated) risks, trying new things, and moving with speed. In age where AI presents extraordinary potential, we’ve adopted an AI-first mentality to create leverage for ourselves and customers. Like our satellites, we intentionally operate in a space that most avoid because its hard — but the excitement and things we have and will achieve make it worth it.

Who We're Looking For:

As we scale our VLEO platform and expand our constellation, we need innovative thinkers who thrive in fast-paced environments and are passionate about pushing technological boundaries. You'll be joining a team that's already proven it can achieve the impossible with the successful deployment of Clarity-1. If you're excited to tackle top-tier technical challenges, apply cutting-edge AI developments, and advance the state-of-the-art in VLEO technology, you'll find yourself part of a mission that's transforming how humanity sees and understands our planet—and eventually, other worlds.

If you can feel the excitement running through your veins, apply to be one of the Bedo 100.

What You’ll Do:

  • Develop and modify structural dynamics models using NASTRAN and FEMAP to support the design and validation of high-performance optical payloads, satellite structures including space qualification testing
  • Conduct finite element analyses, including static, modal, vibration, and dynamics evaluations, to ensure structural integrity and mission readiness.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with GNC, mechanical, and thermal engineers to validate models and align analysis with hardware design timelines.
  • Contribute to detailed design efforts and prepare structural models for major reviews such as Preliminary Design Review (PDR).
  • Be prepared to learn on the job. We have a very experienced dynamics engineer who loves to teach, and this role would be working hand in hand to get our next generation designs out the door into space.
  • Using AI, generate analysis tools such as APIs for FEMAP to optimize workflow (ex: create and API that allows for surface figure analysis completely within the FEMAP too)

  • Solid understanding of structural modeling practices, material properties, meshing, and boundary conditions.
  • Experience with static, modal, and frequency response analysis.
  • Hands on experience in aerospace, optics, or high-precision structures.
  • Experience with VLEO dynamics challenges such as atomic oxygen exposure or drag loading.
  • Familiarity with test correlation and post-processing of dynamic test results.
  • Compensation and Benefits:

  • Employee friendlyequity compensation
  • 4% direct matching 401k
  • Health Insurance: 100% employee coverage & 75% dependent coverage
