Graphic Design Associate

San Francisco

Astranis is on a mission to bridge the digital divide by connecting the four billion people worldwide who currently lack internet access. We're doing this by building the next generation of smaller, more cost-effective spacecraft to bring the world online. 

As a team, we’ve launched two satellites into orbit,  signed ten commercial deals worth over $1 billion in revenue, raised over $500 million from top global investors, and recruited a team of over 300 world-class engineers. We all work out of our (legendary) San Francisco office, which was once used to build ships during the World Wars.

Our satellites, which operate from geostationary orbit (GEO), weigh only 400 kg and utilize a proprietary software-defined radio payload. Each satellite can connect over two million people, and we’re very excited for the impact we’ll soon have in the Philippines, Peru, Mexico, and more! 

Backed by substantial funding and a passionate, collaborative team, we offer a rewarding work environment where you'll learn and make a significant impact, no matter where you are in your career. 

Apply and join us on our journey towards global connectivity!

Associate roles at Astranis typically last for twelve weeks, and are salary roles designed for individuals who have graduated from a four-year university. 
 
As an Associate you will have an amazing opportunity to work on hard problems — we pride ourselves on giving everyone at Astranis a chance to do meaningful work on challenging projects, no matter their seniority. 
 
If you have not graduated from a four-year university, please apply to be a Graphic Design Intern.

Astranis Creative Studios 

Over the past 18 months, Astranis has gone from a six-year-old company with a very limited public presence to a company recognized for its exceptional content — which has documented the company’s first satellite launch, the sale of ten more satellites to customers all around the world, and our mission to connect the world. But we're not stopping there. We have ambitious plans to grow the Astranis brand in ways that few other companies have attempted, and we need your help.

Our secret weapon? Small, creative, and empowered teams. We captivate our audiences (customers, investors, talent, etc.) with innovative content, campaigns, and storytelling that showcases what makes Astranis unique. From original shows and documentaries to viral hits, out-of-this-world merchandise — and the periodic rocket launch launch campaign —  we think big and different.

By joining Astranis Creative Studios you'll help connect the remaining 4 billion to affordable internet while taking your career to new heights. (35,786 km high to be specific.) If you're a creative powerhouse passionate about storytelling and leaving your mark, we want to hear from you. Help us write the next chapter in affordable connectivity for all.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
