In 2016, the founders of LeoLabs recognized a critical gap in space operations: as low Earth orbit became increasingly congested with satellites and debris, the tools for monitoring and managing this environment were dangerously inadequate. Traditional space surveillance systems lacked the persistence, precision, and transparency needed to protect billions of dollars in assets and ensure safe operations. So they built LeoLabs - a commercial company dedicated to mapping the activity in low Earth orbit with unprecedented clarity and persistence. LeoLabs has evolved from that founding insight into the world's leading mission partner for persistent Orbital Intelligence. Their proliferated network of ground-based phased array radars tracks more than 25,000 objects, delivering millions of measurements daily to military space commands, civil government agencies, and commercial operators worldwide. With radar sites spanning the globe and an AI-powered analytics platform, LeoLabs provides the living map of space that safeguards our way of life on Earth - enabling collision avoidance, threat characterization, and space traffic management in an increasingly complex orbital environment.

At prenode, we believe that industrial expertise is the most valuable asset in Germany - and we're on a mission to make it scalable. Founded as a spin-off from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in 2018, our team builds robust, scalable, and decentralized AI systems that bridge the gap between shopfloor (OT) and cloud (IT). We believe every team member should act like an entrepreneur: you'll enjoy flat hierarchies, genuine autonomy, and the freedom to drive real impact. Our culture thrives on innovation - not as a buzzword, but as the combination of idea, implementation, and actual value. When you join prenode, you're part of an interdisciplinary team that learns faster than competitors, treats each other with respect, and focuses on what truly matters: transforming industrial expertise into scalable digital solutions. We partner with leading manufacturers and operators across mechanical and plant engineering to deliver practical AI and IIoT solutions. Our approach emphasizes hands-on collaboration - from potential workshops through proofs of concept to managed operations. We've been recognized as a top AI startup multiple times and are proud members of the German AI Association. But what really drives us is seeing our solutions create tangible value: enabling Equipment-as-a-Service models for TRUMPF, implementing predictive maintenance for WEISSER precision machines, or automating chip detection for Watts Industries. If you're excited about solving complex industrial challenges with cutting-edge technology while working in a culture that values ownership, continuous learning, and mutual support, you'll fit right in.
