About The Position

At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We’re working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight!
As a member of the Blue Origin family of companies Honeybee Robotics has been at the forefront of robotics for over 40 years, establishing ourselves as pioneers in developing novel exploration systems for the most extreme planetary environments. At our Southern California location, we look to "Touch Life" by supporting planetary science, including every NASA Mars rover since Spirit and Opportunity. We aim to "Mine the Sky" through the development of practical In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) solutions. We search for technically brilliant individuals in engineering, software, and support fields who take ownership of their work, enjoy collaborating in teams, and have a laser focus on the details that drive excellence.
You'll pioneer manufacturing processes that turn bold concepts into the space flight assemblies enabling tomorrow's exploration missions. You'll bridge the gap between visionary design and practical production, ensuring every piece of assemblies—whether it's destined for lunar regolith collection, Martian exploration, or mining operations that will support Earth's sustainable future—meets exacting specifications. You have the opportunity to create a huge impact on a small but growing team!
