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, 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 modern life, including communications, navigation, 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. The Optimus Viper Rapid Response Vehicle delivers genuine mission capability at a fraction of conventional spacecraft cost, designed for high-volume production and rapid deployment across all 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.
Why Join Us
We’re a start up — things move fast, resources are lean, and we’re building as we go.
What we offer is opportunity: to learn at speed, grow with the company, and leave your fingerprints on something that’s never been done before. At Space Machines Company, engineers, innovators, and problem solvers join forces to push the limits of what’s possible.
If you want to build technology designed to protect and power humanity’s future in space — and see your work make a visible impact — this is where you’ll do it.
How We Work
We are builders first.
We approach every challenge through a cycle of design, build, test, and refine — making ideas real, learning from results, and improving with each iteration.
We challenge assumptions to make sure we’re solving the right problems, and we strengthen our solutions through collaboration and feedback.
We use process where it adds value and set it aside where it slows us down. There are a lot of firsts here, and we meet them with curiosity and courage.
We win as one team.

Manufactures space hardware and AI-driven platform
Space Machines manufactures space hardware and software and works with governments and space operators to protect critical space infrastructure. Its products include the Optimus Viper rapid response vehicles, which are mass-produced, low-cost platforms that can be deployed at scale to inspect, monitor, and protect assets across all orbital regimes, and Solstice OS, an AI-driven command-and-control platform that fuses space-domain data to automate mission planning, threat assessment, and vehicle coordination. The company differentiates itself by delivering scalable, low-cost autonomous-enabled space capabilities outside the US and by providing the first integrated security platform that lets teams see threats, decide fast, and respond at scale. Its goal is to counter near-peer threats and help democratic nations safeguard satellites that support communications, navigation, and economic activity, by letting smaller teams manage large constellations efficiently.
