More about this role
General Astronautics is building autonomous dexterous robotic arms for orbital inspection, repair, and assembly. Our systems will enable spacecraft to perform complex operations without astronaut intervention, transforming how hardware is maintained, upgraded, and operated in space.
We're looking for a Founding Robotics Engineer to own the software, controls, and autonomy stack that enables our robotic arms to perform complex manipulation tasks in microgravity. This role spans motion planning, controls, perception, simulation, and integration with physical hardware, with opportunities to develop and deploy emerging learning-based approaches to robotic autonomy.
This is a high-ownership, high-accountability role. You will be one of the first engineers at the company, working directly on the robot's core capabilities from initial development through flight demonstrations. The software you build will control real hardware in space.
Lead development of the robotics software and autonomy stack for dexterous manipulation in microgravity
Develop and implement motion planning, trajectory generation, inverse kinematics, and feedback control algorithms for robotic manipulators
