Helicon's mission is to accelerate the world's transition to advanced materials. We combine AI software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing to reinvent how the West maintains a competitive edge.
We hire people with high agency and high urgency. We look for slope over intercept. We care about what you’ve built. At Helicon, everyone owns problems end to end and makes consequential decisions that shape the outcome. Every day we build what most think is impossible.
We're backed by the investors who were first believers in Applied Intuition, Valar Atomics, Factory, Astranis, Flock Safety and Relativity Space.
What You'll Do
You will own special projects working directly with the CEO/CTO
Work directly with Software to inform the operating system for the company's physical operations
Design scalable, data-driven processes that optimize our workflows
Build relationships with the right external partners (suppliers, manufacturers and more)
Own the delivery of equipment and materials as we building out factory 1
Who We're Looking For
Need:
You thrive balancing 1000 things at once
Be the person everyone goes to when there's a fire
Nice to have:
Experience standing up and coordinating the buildout of automated manufacturing lines
You have built and scaled physical manufacturing operations
We're not for you if:
You want narrow scope and can't make decisions yourself
You avoid making hard calls without perfect data
Why Join
Bethlehem for steel. Helicon for composites.
For too long the most advanced materials in the world have been left to the exquisite, we're industrializing composites enabling the systems of the future to be built at mass scale.
We want the best people and have no bureaucracy. That includes covering meals and paying for products that make you more productive and our partners stronger.
