Katalyst Space Technologies

About

At Katalyst, we're reimagining what's possible in orbit by building robotic spacecraft that make upgrading satellites as routine as software updates. Our team takes real ownership of complex problems, seeing work move from concept to space operations in an environment where the technical challenges are hard and the impact is tangible. We value humility, craftsmanship, and doing things the right way - even when it's harder. Based in Flagstaff with remote options, we've assembled a group of dynamic innovators who push each other to do their best work while building the foundational capabilities for sustained space operations.

Our culture balances intensity with autonomy. You'll work alongside thoughtful, driven teammates who are bought into the mission of enabling dynamic space operations - from rendezvous and proximity operations to space domain awareness. We're not just building spacecraft; we're creating an upgrade economy in space. Whether you're developing SIGHT's object detection systems, architecting SHIELD's close-range inspection capabilities, or designing ARC's machine learning analytics, your work directly strengthens national security and advances human presence in the space domain.
