Planet Labs -- San Francisco, CA -- REMOTE
Planet Labs (<a href=") in San Francisco, CA has a large number of positions open. We're a collection of electrical, mechanical, aerospace, software, science, etc. folks looking to image the whole planet on a daily basis with a large number of small satellites. It's a terrific bunch of folks doing what we call "agile aerospace". We've launched ~90 satellites so far (and had 8 on the SpaceX CRS-7 rocket :( )
Python (Flask, Django) and Javascript (React, Backbone) are used heavily in the web projects. We of course have systems programming to do for the onboard software. Plenty of other interesting work from the satellite design and various subsystems, manufacturing, georectification of images, image corrections, and heaps of possibilities with a supremely interesting dataset that we're growing.
Some gigs are onsite only, others may be available to remote workers.
