What we are building

EraDrive provides full stack onboard autonomy modules that turn pixels from space-based sensors into reliable actions on orbit, while feeding a growing offboard intelligence layer for space domain awareness and space traffic management.

  • Onboard autonomy: software that handles PNT, SDA, and RPO for resource-constrained spacecraft.
  • Autonomy modules: combining software and hardware to create low-SWaP modules that integrate with new or existing satellites.
  • Digital and robotic twins: ground-based tools to train, validate, and stress test autonomy against realistic dynamical and sensing conditions.
  • Offboard intelligence: turning on-orbit data into traffic and domain insights that help operators manage crowded or contested orbits.

Why join now

  • Real ownership, from lab prototypes to on-orbit deployments for civil, defense, and commercial missions.
  • Deep technical work across GNC, perception, orbital mechanics, and space systems, with direct exposure to customers and programs.
  • Competitive salary, meaningful early equity, and a small, high-velocity team where you help shape the product and how we operate.

Our Culture: Safety + Performance

EraDrive culture mirrors its cutting edge technology and vision: It is the union of Safety and Performance

Safety first, always

We build systems that make space safer, and we start by treating each other with respect, trust, inclusion, and care.

Performance with ownership

We set a high bar for excellence, take full responsibility for our work, and move quickly without cutting corners.

Open, honest communication

We speak up early, give and receive feedback constructively, and assume good intentions.

Rigor without bureaucracy

Peer review, testing, and documentation are essential tools, not obstacles, to innovation.

Mission-driven collaboration

We solve hard problems together, share knowledge freely, and put the mission ahead of ego.

Continuous improvement

We learn, iterate, and raise standards as we scale, because what we build must be trusted in orbit.
