Requirements
  • At least 3 years of experience in supply chain, inventory, material planning, procurement, logistics, or manufacturing operations, ideally supporting complex hardware.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently build and improve operational processes, systems, and workflows.
  • Strong understanding of inventory control, kitting, receiving, material transactions, bills of materials, purchase orders, and traceable hardware.
  • Ability to operate with a high degree of autonomy, set priorities, identify gaps, and drive execution with limited oversight.
  • Strong systems thinking, organization, and attention to detail, with a focus on accurate data and scalable processes.
  • Experience with enterprise resource planning, material requirements planning, inventory, procurement, or manufacturing systems, plus strong spreadsheet and analytical skills.
  • Ability to communicate effectively across engineering, production, quality, finance, and suppliers and drive issues to closure.
  • Ability to work in a fast-moving startup environment where priorities evolve and new processes often need to be created from scratch.
  • Ability to work on-site at the Broomfield, Colorado office.
  • U.S. person status as defined under 22 CFR 120.62 and eligibility to work in the United States.
Responsibilities
  • Own inventory and material-flow processes end-to-end, from receiving and storage through kitting and production issue.
  • Build and continuously improve the systems, processes, and controls needed to maintain inventory accuracy, traceability, and production readiness as the company scales.
  • Own production kitting and proactively identify shortages, inventory risks, and material constraints before they impact the schedule.
  • Support procurement and planning by generating purchase orders, sourcing quotes, following up with suppliers, and translating bills of materials, inventory, lead times, and schedules into clear material priorities.
  • Own day-to-day logistics, including packing, shipping, freight coordination, and movement of hardware between the company, suppliers, customers, and test facilities.
  • Establish practical standards for stockroom organization, cycle counting, material handling, and transaction discipline.
  • Own the accuracy of inventory, purchasing, and material data across company systems.
  • Take ambiguous supply-chain problems from identification through implementation, creating scalable workflows rather than waiting for a predefined playbook.

Albedo operates a Very Low Earth Orbit satellite constellation to capture high-resolution Earth imagery and thermal data. Its dual-modality data provides 10 cm panchromatic (visible) and 2-meter infrared imagery by placing satellites much closer to Earth than typical observers. After launching Clarity-1 in 2025, the company planned a 24-satellite constellation by 2028 and then shifted to focus on manufacturing VLEO satellite buses for other operators while offering imagery through partners. The data supports fields like agriculture, insurance, energy, infrastructure, mapping, and national security with the goal of scaling the constellation and enabling broader access to high-resolution geospatial information through satellite bus manufacturing.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Albedo won a second NRO contract in August 2025 for 10 cm imagery.
  • Booz Allen backed Clarity-1’s March 2025 launch, validating national-security demand and investor confidence.
  • Albedo now targets hundreds of buses yearly, with flight-proven hardware and stronger customer pull.

What critics are saying

  • October 2025 pivot cut imagery staff, signaling customer demand failed to support the original business.
  • Albedo’s defense dependence deepens after NRO, AFRL, and MDA contracts; procurement delays choke revenue.
  • VLEO remains unforgiving; another Clarity failure destroys credibility and ends the bus-manufacturing thesis.

What makes Albedo unique

  • Albedo’s Clarity-1 proved 10 cm imagery and 2-meter thermal capture from VLEO, March 2025.
  • Clarity-1 validated five-year lifespan models and 12% drag outperformance in August 2026.
  • Albedo claims the only flight-proven VLEO bus available today, after October 2025 pivot.

Grande Fratello Spaziale. I Satelliti Spioni Di Una Startup Usa

Privacy weekly, il guest post di Guido Scorza, avvocato e componente del Collegio del Garante per la Protezione dei dati personali. Un viaggio intorno al mondo su tutela della privacy e digitaleNon bastavano centinaia di milioni di occhi elettronici diversamente intelligenti che, ormai, quotidianamente ci scrutano in ogni dove dalla terra rendendo ogni giorno più difficile rivendicare un vero diritto alla privacy e, con esso, il grappolo di diritti fondamentali e libertà dei quali è fiero difensore. Ora, a leggere le notizie che rimbalzano dalle colonne del New York Times, dobbiamo cominciare a preoccuparci anche di migliaia di occhi elettronici egualmente indiscreti che presto potrebbero far capolino nel firmamento, giusto tra una stella e l’altra. La startup americana Albedo Space ha, infatti, raccolto 100 milioni di dollari per progettare e costruire una flotta di satelliti che dal 2025 scruteranno il mondo, persone comprese, ventiquattro ore su ventiquattro, dallo spazio a una distanza dalla terra inferiore rispetto a quella delle orbite già oggi solcate da migliaia di altri satelliti.I satelliti di Albedo SpaceE da quell’altezza, a quanto pare, sarà possibile – almeno tecnologicamente – sgretolare il muro della riservatezza perché poco o niente resterà indistinguibile. Numeri di targa, volti delle persone e, probabilmente, anche dettagli più piccoli. Il rimedio più sicuro per la difesa della nostra privacy, forse, diventerà il sano e vecchio ombrello, da usare rigorosamente anche nei giorni di sole!Leggi anche: Gli USA pronti alla guerra dei dati con Cina e Russia?Scherzi a parte – anche perché lo scenario è inquietante e fa passare la voglia di ridere – benché il rischio di una sorveglianza di massa dallo spazio esista ormai da tempo, ciò che preoccupa della nuova possibile avventura spaziale è la verosimile apertura all’accesso ai nuovi satelliti a un pubblico enormemente più vasto e, probabilmente, la progressiva diminuzione dei costi almeno direttamente proporzionata all’aumento dell’offerta di servizi e soluzioni utili a osservare dall’alto ciò che accade sulla terra.L’occhio indiscreto dei satelliti di Albedo SpaceSenza dire – ma solo perché ovvio – che la stessa evoluzione tecnologica, inesorabilmente, pone e porrà sfide sempre più complicate per la difesa della privacy rispetto al rischio di invasioni provenienti dallo spazio
