About Starpath
Starpath Robotics is developing a full stack solution for commercial scale rocket propellant production on the Moon and Mars.
We are building one of the key enabling technologies that will make Humans a multi-planet species.
If high ownership, fast pace, working with hardware, and solving challenging problems sounds like a dream come true, come join the team!
Mechanical Engineer - Deployable Solar
Starpath's Solar team is designing and building some of the largest and most powerful vertically deployable solar arrays for the Lunar surface.
Our initial mission will target 100(s) of kW scale, building on a clear path to 10+ MW.
Starpath's solar team plays a critical part in Starpath's mission to build commercial-scale propellant production plants for the Moon.
