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.
As part of a small, passionate, and accomplished team of experts, you will own end to end product development as a responsible engineer of LRUs. These LRUs are a critical component of New Glenn, and control some of the most significant functions on the rocket like hydraulics, thrust vector control (TVC), fins, ordnance, sensors, valves, and more. In this role you'll interface with design, test, systems, integration, software and control engineering disciplines throughout the entire product lifecycle from conception to flight ready hardware.
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! You should have the desire to learn from new challenges and the problem solving and communication skills to work within a highly interactive and experienced team.
