Description
About Us
Our mission is to safeguard critical space infrastructure by providing the first integrated security platform to see threats, decide fast and respond at scale. Where spacecraft have traditionally been costly, slow to produce and require extensive effort to coordinate, Space Machines Company (SMC) is developing systems that are produced at scale and operated with human-on-the-loop autonomy to drastically reduce the cost and complexity of orbital operations.
As space becomes more congested and contested, the satellites that underpin contemporary life — including communications, navigation and financial systems — are increasingly exposed. We are developing the vehicles and software to protect them, working with commercial operators and government agencies across allied nations.
Our approach is grounded in economics as much as engineering. Optimus Viper, our Rapid Response Vehicle, delivers genuine mission capability at a fraction of conventional spacecraft cost, designed for high-volume production and rapid deployment across orbital regimes. Solstice OS,



our AI-driven command and control platform, fuses space domain awareness data and automates mission planning and vehicle coordination, allowing smaller teams to manage larger constellations and respond to emerging situations in seconds rather than hours.
The future of space depends on assets that can be inspected, monitored and protected in orbit. We are building the technology to make that possible.
Role Summary
This role is the execution engine behind SMC's capital raising and corporate development work. You will work directly with the Chief Development Officer, owning the investor pipeline, the dataroom, and the materials that go in front of investors, boards and strategic partners. It suits someone who wants ownership over a live raise rather than a seat on a large deal team.
