General Astronautics is building autonomous dexterous robotic arms for microgravity environments. Our systems enable orbital science and manufacturing that isn't possible on Earth, and we're doing it without humans in the loop. We're looking for a Founding Robotics Engineer to own the full robotics stack: controls, perception, software, and simulation. You will guide how our arm thinks, sees, and moves, and ensure that behavior is validated in simulation before it ever reaches orbit.
