About the Company
At AstroForge, our mission is to make space resources accessible on Earth. We mine asteroids to extract valuable minerals in space at a lower cost and smaller carbon footprint than current terrestrial mining methods. We offer a unique opportunity to join an exciting team looking to expand humanity\u2019s capabilities in space. 

Why asteroid mining?
Platinum group metals (PGMs) are essential for clean energy, medical devices, and everyday products, but Earth's supply is rapidly dwindling. Conventional mining is not only expensive but also causes severe environmental harm, destroying over 50,000 acres of untouched land and producing millions of tons of toxic waste annually. Mining asteroids offers a sustainable alternative, allowing us to harvest these critical resources with minimal environmental impact and help create a greener future.
With your help, we can make history and contribute to a brighter future.

Job Description
We\u2019re a team of bold, quick-thinking professionals, always looking for exceptional talent. If you don\u2019t see a perfect fit among our listed internships or roles, but you\u2019re passionate about space and think you could contribute, we encourage you to apply here. This posting is designed for individuals who want to pitch their own adventure, whether that\u2019s a unique internship idea, a hybrid role, or an opportunity to get involved in something we haven\u2019t thought of yet. Show us how your background and interests align with our mission.
