Careers

Helios Systems is a small manufacturing team in Williamsburg, Virginia. Paid roles open when we need them. Beta testing for hardware tools and software stays open year-round.

Beta tester — hardware tools & software

Always open
Remote / your shop Volunteer Rolling applications

Help us prove what we ship before a wider release. You can test hardware tools, HeliosForged software, or both — pick the track that matches the machines you already run.

Hardware tools M.A.R.S. kits, clamps, Haas ER11 tooling, and fixture workflows on Ghost Gunner, Coast Runner, and other desktop mills.
Software HeliosForged probing, engraving, milling, and G-code workflows. Report bugs, unclear steps, and missing features.

What you would do

  • Run assigned builds or kits on your own machine and tell us what broke, felt slow, or was confusing.
  • Send photos, short notes, or screen recordings when something fails.
  • Try new hardware SKUs or software builds when we ask — no weekly hour minimum.

Who this fits

  • You already use a desktop CNC (Ghost Gunner, Coast Runner, or similar GRBL mill) or Helios hardware.
  • You are comfortable saying when a tool, page, or workflow is wrong.
  • You are 18 or older and can receive email in the United States.

What this is not

This is unpaid volunteer testing, not employment. There is no salary, no guaranteed product credit, and no promise of a future paid role. If we send hardware or software access, we will say so in writing first.

Paid positions

We do not have paid openings right now. When we do, they will be listed on this page. You can still contact us about contract manufacturing or supplier work.
