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. As a Product and Process Development Engineer of a team with varied strengths of problem-solvers, collaborators, and doers you will work to develop hardware from concept to production ready for testing, qualification, and flight. Throughout the hardware development cycle, you will also work to identify, develop, and deploy methods and tool and processes to improve quality, reduce cost, and manufacturability. As an integral member of the team, you will work closely to strengthen the feedback loop between design, build, and test and accelerate the pace of rocket development. We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise and leadership skills to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!
