Jobs at Blue Origin

Lead planning, execution, and analysis of environmental and qualification tests (TVAC, vibration, shock, EMI) for space mechanisms and electromechanical systems. Author test plans/procedures/reports, design fixtures/GSE, run data acquisition, troubleshoot anomalies, coordinate with engineering and quality, and support test readiness, integration, and external facility activities.

Support New Glenn development and operations by applying systems engineering across subsystems: requirements definition, traceability, functional and safety analysis, verification planning and closure, test plan development, configuration management, system integration, metrics, and gated reviews. Work cross-discipline to validate/verify requirements and ensure consistent systems engineering practice implementation.

Support production by managing inventory, tooling, and consumables; requisition, receive, store, and issue materials; monitor job flow; perform cycle counts and scrap processing; operate forklifts and material handling equipment; assist audits and site audits; expedite material shortages and report production delays; enforce 5S and safe handling practices; perform other duties to support manufacturing operations.

Lead design, analysis, and testing of second-stage rocket fluid systems including pressurization, pneumatics, and propellant management. Define requirements, perform thermo-fluid and structural analysis, route tubing/piping, author specs, manage suppliers, and support integration, qualification testing, and mission operations for cryogenic, high‑pressure hardware.

Lead product strategy and roadmap for change and configuration management systems supporting aerospace and manufacturing teams. Collaborate cross-functionally to define requirements, prioritize features, use data (SQL) and AI for prototyping, measure product performance, and drive continuous improvement to enable safe, repeatable spaceflight.

Design high-frequency phased array antennas for space communication, including system-level RF architectures and EM simulations, while mentoring others and overseeing hardware lifecycle.

Lead program execution for spacecraft thermal control hardware: develop and track schedules, cost, and technical performance; coordinate cross-functional teams; manage budgets, contracts, purchase orders, and configuration control; maintain program IMS/IMP and tooling between MRP and schedules; use Agile and company tools for planning; report performance metrics and support NASA and partner coordination.

Design, analyze, develop, and test primary and secondary metallic and composite structures for lunar lander systems. Create 3D models and drawings, support manufacturing and integration, develop test plans and execute structural tests, and manage configuration, schedules, budgets, and technical status.

Lead and manage a team of manufacturing engineers executing production of human-capable lunar vehicles. Oversee build execution, translate engineering definitions into work instructions, develop tooling/fixtures, define processes, support root-cause resolution, and ensure manufacturability, test plans, and quality/safety compliance in a fast-paced aerospace production environment.

Design and maintain spacecraft CAD models and interfaces for New Glenn payload accommodations using Creo/ProEngineer and Windchill. Produce interface control drawings, fabrication and installation drawings, export CAD for analysis, and support configuration through procurement, assembly, integration, testing, and production readiness while coordinating across disciplines.

Lead and perform Oxygen Compatibility Assessments for flight and ground systems; evaluate flammability and ignition hazards, conduct root-cause analyses, develop mitigation and design improvements, maintain OCA lifecycle, mentor engineers, and support safety-critical standards and peer reviews.

Serve as senior advisor to the Sr. Manufacturing leader for lunar human-capable vehicle manufacturing. Drive strategy, coordinate high-value projects, enable decision-making, implement pivotal initiatives, manage communications, and lead change management across operations. Collect and present data, align cross-functional stakeholders, and ensure execution of strategic priorities in a fast-paced aerospace manufacturing environment.

Create, maintain, and release CAD data for spacecraft avionics and harnessing. Prepare detail parts, assemblies, and installation models, route harnesses with subsystem teams, review drawings for standards, manage large CAD assemblies/BOMs, and apply engineering/manufacturing methodologies to meet cost, schedule, and performance requirements.

Lead development and execution of on-orbit mission operations for Blue Ring: create ConOps, plans, procedures, telemetry displays and automation; lead on-console teams; validate ops via simulations; drive automation and AI/ML adoption; support mission readiness, launch and early orbit operations, anomaly resolution, and mentor junior engineers.

Support and maintain on-prem mission-critical IT and communications infrastructure for lunar lander development. Configure and troubleshoot servers, workstations, networks, hypervisors, and mission systems; lead configuration management, automation, CI/CD audits, deployment baselines per STIGs, asset inventory, and documentation. Provide hands-on support in time-sensitive mission operations and manage integrations with cloud, security, and specialized control systems.

Lead planning, analysis, and execution for lunar transportation and surface operations. Own program management systems, Integrated Master Schedule, risk register, PFEP and production readiness. Drive decision gates, coordinate cross-functional facility activations, ensure MRP integrity, and translate technical scope into cost, schedule, and business-case recommendations for executive decisions.

Lead a team of test engineers in developing and executing test plans for spacecraft components, ensuring reliability and safety through rigorous methodologies.

Develop, lead, test, and validate embedded vehicle control software for remotely controlled rovers. Own requirements, write specifications, build drivers, implement safety-critical autonomous fault recovery, support field deployments, and collaborate across engineering, science, and product teams to move programs from concept to production.

Design, analyze, prototype, and test spaceflight mechanisms and structures from concept through flight qualification. Produce technical documentation, vendor specifications, and execute environmental and subsystem-level testing while collaborating across disciplines to integrate and verify hardware.

Lead systems engineer responsible for defining, documenting, and verifying integrated vehicle stack configurations for lunar missions. Own configuration management, stack requirements in Jama Connect, ICDs, CREO model interrogation, verification planning with I&T, integration trade studies, risk mitigation, and cross-functional technical leadership through SRR/PDR/CDR and test readiness.
