The company said that it has begun recruiting highly-skilled German talent to operationalize its upcoming satellite manufacturing facility in Berlin, as part of its plan to double the production capacity of its next-generation, high-resolution Pelican fleet, while reinforcing the European country’s role as a hub for advanced aerospace engineering.
Some 70 individuals are targeted to be hired in addition to the existing 150 employees, including high-level leadership and specialized technical roles such as director of manufacturing, mission director for constellation services, and multiple engineering roles.
Berlin has served as Planet Labs PBC’s (NYSE:PL) headquarters for more than 10 years, acting as the Mission Control center for its global fleet of about 200 satellites. Its expansion would support the company’s $900 million worth of backlogs for the current fiscal period, which marked a 79 percent growth from fiscal year 2026.
“With this excellent backlog as well as our healthy pipeline, we project strong growth for this year and beyond,” said Planet Labs PBC (NYSE:PL) Chairman and CEO Will Marshall.
