General Astronautics was founded on the belief that the bottleneck to humanity's expansion into space is labor, not rockets or science. We build autonomous dexterous robots to close the gap on the science that humanity can’t afford not to do. We are building the robots that will make orbital manufacturing routine. This is the unlock to new pharmaceutics, new materials, and new planets.
We are hiring exceptional students for engineering roles in Summer 2026. As an intern, you will work directly with your mentor and the founding team on projects that ship to orbit. You will write code, build hardware, and run experiments that show up on the critical path to our upcoming demo mission.
If you have shown academic strength and a track record of building things outside the classroom, you are a strong candidate.
Internships are available across robotics, mechanical, electrical, controls, and software engineering. All roles are full-time and in person at our San Francisco headquarters.
