Why join Impulse Space?

Satellites keep getting cheaper so the bottleneck is now moving them between orbits, and Impulse Space, a Redondo Beach aerospace company, is building the vehicles to do it. If its vehicles become the standard way to reposition payloads, customers could book orbital transfers the way they book freight. A $308M Series D from Founders Fund and Lux Capital, with 216 open roles, most in engineering, says the build-out is under way.

JustBacked's take, based on Impulse Space's own site and its funding and hiring data.
