WHY WE'RE HERE

OUR MISSION

Apex is on a mission to redefine how satellites are designed and manufactured, enabling customers to rapidly deploy critical constellations by eliminating the satellite production bottleneck. Through productization and mass-production of satellite bus platforms, Apex is bringing unprecedented speed, reliability, and scale to the space industry — and building a lasting cornerstone of the American space industrial base.

Co-creating the future of space

Shandy Asturias

Lead Mission Manager

I was drawn to Apex because of the opportunity to work on something that truly matters to me — making access to space easier and more achievable. Staying laser-focused on a satellite product approach will change how we access space. What makes it even better is the incredible team — it’s inspiring to work with such talented people who I’m lucky to call both teammates and friends.

Daniel Drew

Manufacturing Engineer

There are no passengers at Apex, only drivers. We’re one team built with authentic people from diverse backgrounds, all laser-focused on a meaningful goal. The culture to build high-performing spacecraft at blistering speeds is infectious and rewards builders who push the envelope daily. Apex is one of a kind and is the place to be if you enjoy meaningful work alongside the best people in the galaxy!

Alexa Villa

Lead Technician

Immediately after joining Apex, I knew this company was something extraordinary! I’ve contributed to multiple satellite builds, emulators, and innovative processes that are revolutionizing how we approach aerospace manufacturing. Apex has been an eye-opening experience, showing me what a modern company should truly be. Every day is a new adventure with a spectacular team driven by passion and determination to achieve anything we dream of!

Russell Perry

Director, Software & Test

I was one of the first hires at Apex, back when we were writing flight software for our first satellite on a folding table. Since then, I’ve built and led the software team that now powers every spacecraft we fly. We’ve got an awesome team that isn’t afraid to have real discussions, work hard, and sometimes even boat to work.

Beatrix Teng

Software Engineer

Life is thrilling at Apex. Regardless of your experience level, you'll own projects end-to-end, shedding blood, sweat, and tears to make things work. When success hits, you'll realize you've broken records, and you're part of the only team that could have done it.

Alvin Garcia

Director of GNC, HITL, and Mission Ops

At Apex, we’re building a culture defined by ownership, accountability, and real-world impact. Our engineers don’t just stay behind their screens — they take full responsibility for delivering results in both vehicle design and on the production floor. As a technical and people leader, it’s inspiring to work alongside a team that consistently turns bold ideas into real outcomes. We value our people and deliver on our promises, making Apex a place where things truly get built and delivered.

Devon Woolston

Avionics Engineer

Apex is where a new grad gets real ownership on day one and that ownership turns into rocket-fuel for growth. Building flight hardware with mentors who trust me has given me the confidence to thrive as a hardware engineer. It’s fast, it’s fun, and it’s the kind of place where your ideas don’t just ship…they launch!
