Our Vision
Affordable, natural, factory-built homes.
We are leading a homebuilding renaissance where affordability, sustainability, and beauty come together.
Beyond the world of right angles and hard lines lies a different kind of home: the bioceramic dome. Inspired by the geodesic structures pioneered by visionary architect Buckminster Fuller, domes represent one of the most efficient structural designs ever created.
To bring these structures to life at scale, we developed a breakthrough in material science: bioceramics—a new class of earth-friendly materials that mimic the properties of human bone.
By combining geometry, advanced materials, and innovative manufacturing, bioceramic domes maximize efficiency at the most fundamental levels.
In the future, we won’t live in boxes. Join us there.
The Opportunity
After successfully building our first prototype dome, securing seed funding, and beginning construction on our flagship project, Geoship is expanding the team.
We are now focused on the next phase of our journey: developing novel manufacturing technologies to scale our pilot production factory in Grass Valley, California.
We are looking for a Manufacturing Engineer to help design and develop our pilot production line—from early concept through full-scale production handoff.
At the core, we are seeking a first-principles problem solver who thrives in fast-moving environments and enjoys building entirely new systems from the ground up.
