Electrical Harness Design Engineer

at  Honeybee Robotics

Honeybee Robotics, a Blue Origin Company, has been at the forefront of robotics for over 40 years, establishing ourselves as pioneers in developing novel exploration systems for the most extreme planetary environments. At our Southern California location, we look to “Touch Life” by supporting planetary science, including every NASA Mars rover since Spirit and Opportunity. We aim to “Mine the Sky” through the development of practical In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) solutions. We search for technically brilliant individuals in engineering, software, and support fields who take ownership of their work, enjoy collaborating in teams, and have a laser focus on the details that drive excellence.
The Electrical Harness Design Engineer is responsible for development of electrical wire harnesses (concept through product test) for terrestrial and off world robotic sampling systems. Specifically, the Harness Design Engineer will define, acquire, integrate, validate, and maintain electrical harnesses for aerospace robotic products. This role will report to the Avionics Manager.
