About Helogen

The next great industrial revolution will not happen on Earth.

For the first time in history, humanity has the ability to build factories beyond our planet. The research, testing, and manufacturing conducted in these environments will unlock breakthroughs in medicine, materials, energy, computing, and technologies that cannot be achieved under Earth's gravity.

Helogen is building the infrastructure that makes this future possible.

Our mission is to transform space from a distant realm we explore into an accessible world where industry operates. We are developing the manufacturing platforms, autonomous systems, logistics networks, and operational infrastructure required to power commercial production in space at scale. We believe innovations in space will define the next century of technological progress.

We're looking for leaders who want to build these systems from the ground up. This is an opportunity to help create an entirely new industrial category, assemble a world-class team, shape the future of manufacturing beyond Earth, and accelerate scientific and technological advances that can improve life on Earth.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
