Zach Mank has worked with Honeybee Robotics for over eight years in a combination of organizational management, technical leadership, and systems and mechanical engineering roles. He has helped drive the steady growth of Honeybee’s Exploration Technologies office by spearheading hiring, onboarding, and outreach initiatives, and has enjoyed watching it quadruple in size over his time there. Simultaneously, he has tackled a number of initiatives to ensure the organizational structure and processes evolve to match. His technical contributions at Honeybee have focused on integrated electromechanical system development for sample acquisition, transfer, and/or delivery on five different planetary bodies, research and development for lunar and Martian in situ resource utilization mission concepts, and geotechnical tool design for in situ data collection. He has co-authored multiple papers on this work focusing on both science objectives and mechanism design, and has participated in field expeditions to evaluate his designs on two continents. He holds a B.S. and M.S. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Southern California, and previously worked in R&D for medical devices with Medtronic.
