More about this role
Icarus Robotics is building the robotic workforce for space industrialization. We're developing dexterous robots that can be teleoperated from Earth to automate routine tasks inside space stations, dramatically reducing operational costs, increasing throughput and unlocking the astronaut labor bottleneck.
We've raised over $12M in capital from top-tier investors in deep tech and space, we're rapidly expanding our team and accelerating our development timeline. Our engineers work directly with NASA and collaborate with some of the largest aerospace companies on next-generation space technologies. We've secured partnerships with commercial LEO destination companies who will host our robots on future space stations, creating a clear path to orbit for our technology. We're now preparing for our first ISS test mission — a key step toward full orbital deployment.
We believe in an industrialized low-Earth orbit this decade and we’re making it happen.
