<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"><em>Golden, CO | Full-Time | 12-15 Weeks |&nbsp;Spring 2027</em></p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Today, everything we send to space is constrained by what fits inside a rocket fairing. That's a fundamental bottleneck to building more capable spacecraft. Rendezvous Robotics is solving this problem with electromagnetic self-assembling tiles: modular spacecraft components that rendezvous, dock, and latch to assemble bigger and more powerful spacecraft than anything that can be folded to fit into a rocket.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">We're a small team based in Golden, Colorado, executing on a clear path from flight demonstration to our first operational systems. Our work spans hardware, software, and systems engineering.
