Build Systems That Operate
in Space

Ikirere works across spacecraft engineering, software, orbital mechanics, autonomy, simulation and mission operations.

Why Ikirere

Small Team. Large Technical Surface.

We are building across the full stack required for autonomous space systems.

That means engineers at Ikirere work close to the actual problem, not several layers removed from it.

Areas We Care About

Spacecraft engineering

Orbital mechanics

Simulation and numerical methods

Software engineering

Autonomous systems

Machine learning

Reinforcement learning

Embedded and flight software

Communications systems

Spacecraft power and thermal systems

Attitude determination and control

Ground systems

Mission operations

Aerospace systems engineering

Culture

Technical depth.

Ability to learn quickly.

Comfort working across disciplines.

Strong engineering judgment.

Willingness to test assumptions against reality.

Ability to own difficult problems from first principles through implementation.

Long Term

The work at Ikirere is intended to move beyond prototypes.

Software should reach operators.

Autonomous systems should reach spacecraft.

Spacecraft should reach orbit.

We want people who want to build through that entire journey.
