Wanna join the adventure?

Are you passionate about optical payloads, image quality, and turning pixels into products customers can actually use? If so, this is the perfect role for you!

Loft flies multiple satellites per year and is building the next generation of Earth observation capability - from payload design through calibration, processing, and delivery - across a growing fleet of spacecraft. We're looking for a Senior Earth Observation Engineer to serve as the technical authority for optical payloads, image quality, and Earth observation mission performance across Loft.

This role requires expertise in imagery calibration, optical payloads, and image processing pipelines. You'll work closely with mission teams, customers, and payload suppliers to define performance requirements, drive payload development and test, support in-orbit calibration and commissioning, and ensure Loft can reliably process and deliver imagery to customers.

You'll help build the data processing and image-quality foundation that turns raw payload data into a sellable product, enabling Loft to simulate, calibrate, and deliver imagery across diverse customer missions and to leverage the AI boom through vision-based Earth observation.

 

 

 

Loft Orbital’s mission is to make space simple for organizations, and Loft IT’s mission is to make work simple for employees. Our Toulouse office is growing, and we’re looking for an IT Support Technician to join our international IT team. Working alongside our IT Site Lead, you’ll be a go-to person on the ground for Toulouse-based support, while contributing to IT activities across all of our offices worldwide.

You’ll focus most of your time on end-user support and onboarding, with opportunities to grow into infrastructure and application administration. We’re looking for someone who is passionate about technology, has a customer-centric personality, and intrinsically understands how good IT enables a business. This is a great role for someone with solid support experience looking to level up their career — not an entry-level position, but one with plenty of room to grow.

 

Loft’s Onboard Software group provides the on-orbit software that powers our satellite fleet — from the Linux services running on the hub processor, to the containerized workloads executing customer applications in low Earth orbit.

The Deployment & Runtime Environments team is where software meets the satellite. We own how software gets packaged, deployed, and executed onboard: from the tool that assembles and maintains mission-specific software stacks, to the Runtime Container Environment that lets partner and customer workloads run securely in orbit, to the Linux infrastructure that makes it all reliable. As more satellite programs come online and as we open our container runtime to a growing number of external workloads, the team’s scope is expanding fast.

We’re looking for someone scrappy — the kind of engineer who digs into an unfamiliar system, maps it out, and gets it shipped without needing the path handed to them. You’ll move between Linux internals, container runtimes, and CI pipelines, sometimes in the same afternoon.

As our new RF AIT (Radio Frequency Assembly, Integration, and Test) Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in the development, assembly, integration, and testing of RF (Radio Frequency) systems and components for Loft space missions. This role requires a strong background in RF engineering, electrical engineering, and space technology.

 

As a Site Reliability Engineer with strong networking skills in our Cloud Infrastructure (SRE) team, you help the team own the networks that keep Loft running: cloud networking, VPN and site-to-site connectivity, segmentation, and routing across our offices, test equipment, and ground stations. You keep them reliable, observable, and secure as we scale. You coordinate with IT on the network components that interface with the physical infrastructure used by employees. You coordinate with the Test-Infrastructure team to ensure our test equipment is securely accessible.

You’ll work the way an SRE team works: defining reliability in measurable terms (SLOs for connectivity and ground-station availability), instrumenting the systems that prove it, managing the network as code, and automating away toil so on-call load doesn’t grow with the fleet.

Beyond the network, you’ll help the SRE team across its broader scope by participating in all the daily work just like a regular SRE: platform reliability and expansion, incident response, planning and user support.

Role Overview

The Lead Manufacturing Engineer provides technical leadership for the development, validation, and sustainment of manufacturing processes, tooling, fixtures, and mechanical ground support equipment (MGSE) supporting spacecraft assembly, integration, and test (AIT).

The individual establishes technical direction for manufacturing development activities, ensuring manufacturing solutions meet program requirements while balancing quality, schedule, cost, safety, and scalability. Working closely with Design Engineering, Systems Engineering, Test Engineering, Production, Quality, and Program Management, the role ensures manufacturing readiness is achieved before hardware enters production.

Beyond technical execution, the Lead Engineer mentors junior engineers, develops team capability, promotes engineering best practices, and creates a collaborative environment focused on continuous improvement and Design for Excellence (DFX) initiatives.
