Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed.

At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We’re working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! 

This role supports the development and operations of New Glenn, a single-configuration, heavy-lift orbital launch vehicle capable of routinely carrying people and payloads to low-Earth orbit, geostationary transfer orbit, cislunar, and beyond. Its first stage is fully reusable, and the vehicle was designed from the beginning to be human-capable.

We are a dynamic team of collaborators, doers, and problem-solvers who are relentlessly committed to a culture of safety. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable space flight. Join us in lowering the cost of access to space and enabling Blue Origin’s vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth.

As part of a dynamic and hardworking team of engineers, you will have primary responsibility for development, qualification, and production test campaigns on various New Glenn spaceflight systems. You will own the planning and execution of individual component and subassembly test campaigns on mechanical, actuated, hydraulic, cryogenic, and/or pneumatic systems from fabrication to delivery. You will author and maintain detailed test procedures, perform test readiness reviews and pre-test briefings, and conduct data reviews to verify the success of the test campaigns. You will work closely with design engineers to identify test requirements, with operations engineers to incorporate tests into the appropriate test stands, and with technicians to execute the procedures you author. You will identify the test fixtures, test support equipment, and data acquisition systems necessary to execute your testing scope and work with tooling and equipment designers as necessary to design and procure this hardware. You will drive efficiency gains in testing activities in order to increase testing throughput while maintaining a high standard of quality and prioritizing the safety of you and your teammates above all else. You will share in the team’s impact on manufacturing, testing, and delivering hardware for the New Glenn Launch Vehicle.

We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!

Please note: This is a 6-month fixed term role with potential of extension up to 2 years.

Qualifications:

B.S. degree or higher in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering, or other relevant field.

Strong work ethic with a high attention to detail and level of organization.
Strong written, personal, and computer skills. Ability to communicate clearly and appropriately at the executive leadership level and on the shop floor.
Successfully managed simultaneous project schedules.
Passion for spaceflight and space exploration.

Desired:

5+ years of applicable industry experience (launch vehicles, satellites, aircraft, motorsports, oil & gas).
Demonstrated technical expertise in design, operation, testing, or production of pressurized (up to 6000 psi), cryogenic, actuated, and/or hydraulic systems.
Strong knowledge of fluid components such as valves, regulators, actuators, servo-valves, and fittings.
Experience with sensors and instrumentation (pressure transducers, accelerometers, etc.), data acquisition, and automation systems.
Familiarity with precision clean hardware and systems.
Experience with Environmental Testing (proof, leak, vibration, thermal, etc.) per SMC-S-016, MIL-STD-1540 or MIL-STD-810.
Demonstrated familiarity with data analysis, processing and reduction techniques.
Experience with data acquisition and automated systems.
