As a member of the Blue Origin family of companies, Honeybee Robotics has been at the forefront of robotics for over 40 years. Our Colorado location specializes in creating advanced motion control solutions for NASA, defense, and commercial programs. Our work has played a critical role in thousands of projects, spanning from conceptual design studies to flight missions, including NASA's Artemis I Mission and the Roman Space Telescope. We are seeking technically brilliant individuals who are passionate about their work, thrive in collaborative environments, and have a laser focus on the details that drive excellence.

As part of a hardworking team of specialists, technicians, and engineers, you will support the development, design, test, and manufacturing of Honeybee Robotics' electronic Motion Control products. Starting with proposal support and labor estimates, you will shepherd multi-board designs through development, eventually transitioning a flight-ready product to the manufacturing and test engineering teams.

You will take charge of electronic design in project teams, help develop processes, lead design reviews, and collaborate with customers. This includes informal team task management, reviewing the work of other team members, and documenting work appropriately to get to "done."

We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!
