Jemba9 is a space industry start-up founded in the spring of 2024. We are developing payloads and components in half-the-schedule at half-the-cost by adapting proven terrestrial designs to be space-worthy. This lowers NRE and risk, enables a prototype on day 1, and leverages established development and test ecosystems. Our adaptation flow utilizes proprietary engineering and analysis tools to:

With over 70 years of combined space design and production expertise and our on-shore electronics assembly operations, we are uniquely poised to be:

At Jemba9, we are redefining the future of space by partnering with leading technology companies and transforming their innovations into space-worthy solutions. We “Spacify” advanced designs—adapting them for the extreme conditions of space, building product assurance artifacts, and controlling production and test to achieve true flight readiness. At the same time, we’re developing powerful tools to accelerate the entire engineering lifecycle, from concept through production. We’re looking for engineers who are passionate about building real spacecraft hardware and excited to contribute to innovative engineering tools—and, as a fast-growing startup, ready to roll up their sleeves and help wherever needed to make our mission successful.
