More about Super-Sharp Space Systems
SuperSharp Space Systems, based in Cambridge, UK, is an Earth observation technology company founded in 2017 as a spinout from the University of Cambridge. The company specializes in innovative unfolding thermal infrared (TIR) space telescopes that deploy from small satellites, providing ultra-high-resolution images of Earth's surface at lower costs. SuperSharp aims to enhance climate change mitigation efforts and applications in precision agriculture and urban energy efficiency monitoring. The company's flagship product, the Hibiscus telescope, is designed for in-orbit operations by late 2026. It features a compact 12U nanosatellite design that unfolds to create large effective apertures, achieving up to 10 times better resolution per unit cost than traditional systems. SuperSharp's technology supports a range of applications, including crop yield prediction, urban planning, and climate monitoring, with a planned satellite launch targeted for early 2027. The company emphasizes customer-driven innovation and aims for net-zero carbon goals by 2040.

About this page
Why Super-Sharp Space Systems is on this map
Cambridge Tech Map is an independent guide to the Cambridge technology market, built and maintained by Innovare Recruitment from public sources: careers pages, job boards and company announcements. We are not affiliated with Super-Sharp Space Systems, we do not represent them, and we play no part in their recruitment process. Every application goes direct to their own careers site.
For candidates, this page does one job: every live tech role in Cambridge in one place, so you can see the whole market without trawling ten job boards. No sign up, no gate, and you apply direct.
For the Super-Sharp Space Systems team, here is our thinking, stated plainly. A recruitment agency only ever earns its place in one of three ways. It sends the right candidate at the right moment. It gets referred in by someone it has placed before, who now works with you. Or it shows value your internal team cannot easily get elsewhere: deeper market knowledge, faster shortlists, a clearer read on who is genuinely available. This map is our working proof of that third door. We track every tech employer in Cambridge, every live role, and the shape of the market around them, and we would rather show that work in public than claim it in a cold call. If it is ever useful when you hire, we would love to help. And if anything on this page is wrong, tell us below and we will fix it fast, or remove the listing entirely if you prefer.
