A lean team building the operating layer for satellite spectrum.
Vega combines aerospace, RF systems, software, and AI-native operations to make space spectrum predictable, coordinated, and dynamic.
Built by operators who have shipped hard space systems.
Trent Voris
Trent holds a B.S. and M.S. in aerospace engineering from Cal Poly and an MBA from Harvard Business School. He started his career as an early engineer at SpaceX, then joined Astra Space where he developed mobile launchpads and Rocket 3.0. Most recently, he served as resident entrepreneur at the advanced R&D division of Leidos, leading programs for Space Force and DARPA customers.
Tom Patton
Tom started his career in business development at HotelTonight, where he built and led go-to-market teams before teaching himself to code on nights and weekends. He moved into software engineering at HotelTonight and later Airbnb, building products for two-sided marketplaces. He then founded Topkey, a Y Combinator-backed marketplace connecting homeowners with property managers. Over the past four years, he has led product at the intersection of business, technology, and artificial intelligence. Now a second-time founder, Tom leads product development at Vega.
Small team, high technical bar, direct path to deployment.
Physics first
We start from orbital mechanics, RF geometry, filings, and observed operating context before building product abstractions.
AI-native execution
Every role is expected to use AI as leverage so a small technical team can move with the pace this market requires.
Operator-grade output
Our work has to survive scrutiny from RF engineers, mission operations teams, regulators, and defense users.
We look for people who want their work to matter.
