From leadership to hands-on builders
Permanent, contract, and project teams. If you don't see a role listed, ask — we likely cover it.
Speed, signal, and outcomes
A simple process designed for mission-driven teams.
Tell us the mission
You share what you're building, your timeline, budget, location/remote constraints, and the must-have skills.
Shortlist in days, not weeks
We bring a tight shortlist of impact players — screened for technical depth, delivery mindset, and communication.
Interview support & close
We run scheduling, feedback loops, offer support, and de-risk the hire with structured references.
Scale the team
Once the first hire lands, we replicate — building squads across systems, software, data, and operations.
Build your orbit-ready team
Whether you're scaling a satellite program, building autonomous systems, or pushing toward in-space infrastructure — DE Orbit brings the people who move fast and deliver.
FAQs
Do you do permanent hires, contract, or both?
Both. DE Orbit supports permanent, contract, and project-based hiring depending on your delivery model.
What geographies do you cover?
UK, US, and global markets (including remote-first teams). If you need clearance or local compliance, we'll align to your requirements.
How fast can you deliver candidates?
For common space-tech profiles, we aim to present a shortlist quickly (often within days) — speed depends on role complexity and location/clearance constraints.
What makes DE Orbit different?
We focus on impact players: people who can deliver under pressure, move fast, and own outcomes — not just tick boxes on a CV.
