Ground Segment Infrastructure Architect

Satellogic is a vertically integrated Earth Observation company that designs, manufactures, and operates satellite systems, delivering decision-grade insights at scale to government and commercial customers.

We build space systems end-to-end, from satellite design and manufacturing to launch and on-orbit operations, giving us the ability to deploy quickly, operate reliably, and support persistent monitoring across regions and priority areas. Our approach moves customers beyond one-off imagery toward continuous awareness and alert-driven decision-making, with flexible pathways that can evolve from managed monitoring to full satellite ownership and sovereign control.

Our technology supports a wide range of use cases across climate monitoring, agriculture, energy, infrastructure, defense and intelligence, helping organizations detect change, manage risk, and plan with confidence.

With a team distributed across five countries, Satellogic brings together expertise in satellite engineering, software development, data science, manufacturing, operations, and go-to-market. We’re a group of purpose-driven builders who value ownership, curiosity, and execution—and who work with humility, honesty, and empathy.

We're hiring an IT Infrastructure Architect to build and own our cloud-to-on-prem migration practice. You'll design the migration strategies that move our systems off the cloud and onto customer-owned infrastructure, advise customers directly on the hardware and facilities they need to host our systems, and develop the training programs that transfer operational knowledge to their teams. You'll be the technical authority on what "on-prem" means for our infrastructure, defining the architecture, the tooling, and the playbook that doesn't exist yet today.

You’ll be fully responsible for the deployment of our ground segment systems to our customers’ premises, prioritizing robustness, standardization and scalability and in coordination with our IT, Mission Operations and Product Teams to ensure our strategy for Sovereign customers is in line with our company’s technology strategy.

This person will be embedded within the Sovereign Solutions team, working hands-on across the full lifecycle of a deployment — from architecture through go-live and customer training.

• Cloud-to-on-prem migration strategy
  • Define the strategy and technical approach to deploy our ground segment infrastructure on our Sovereign customers premises or private cloud
  • Identify AWS dependencies (managed services, networking, storage, IAM, etc.) across the ground segment subsystems and define on-prem equivalents or replacements
  • Partner with our IT infrastructure and engineering teams to sequence and de-risk the migration, incorporating lessons learned from parallel cloud migration work as it progresses
  • Build repeatable migration tooling and documentation so future on-prem deployments don't start from zero
• Pre sales support and post sales execution
  • Determine the scope, cost and lead time for the deployment of ground segment infrastructure, collaborating with Sales to write technical proposals
  • Translate the ground segment's compute, storage, networking, and redundancy requirements into concrete hardware specifications and vendor/procurement recommendations
  • Advise the customer on facility and site-readiness requirements (power, cooling, physical security, network connectivity) needed to host the system
  • Act as the primary technical point of contact for the customer's infrastructure planning, reviewing their procurement decisions against system requirements
  • Act as primary responsible for the execution of signed agreements in all things related to deployment of the…
