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. 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 drive the development, design, test, and manufacturing of Honeybee Robotics' electronic Motion Control products. You will own multi-board designs through the full development lifecycle, making key technical decisions as products progress toward flight-ready status and transition to the manufacturing and test engineering teams.

You will take ownership of electronic design within project teams, lead design reviews, and serve as a primary technical point of contact for customers and colleagues. This includes independently managing your work within multidisciplinary team structures, developing and executing prototypes and test plans, and making design decisions on hardware that will actually go to space.

We are looking for someone ready to apply their technical expertise and commitment to quality with confidence and independence, making a positive impact on safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!
