Project Management III

Application close date:

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 is part of Blue Origin Operations, which is comprised of Integrated Supply Chain, Test Operations, Safety, Quality, and Mission Assurance. This includes Manufacturing and Supply Chain support across all Blue Origin facilities. This role owns program execution for a family of advanced custom precision machines built entirely in-house at Blue Origin. These are not purchased tools with a service contract behind them - we architect them, build them, instrument them, and sustain them ourselves. Each machine is a large-envelope, multi-axis precision platform integrating motion, thermal, fluid, electrical, and control subsystems, assembled from thousands of parts including long-lead custom fabrications. You will run three programs that overlap continuously: building new machines, keeping a fielded fleet at rate, and executing retrofits on hardware already in production. Each has its own schedule, its own critical path, and its own set of people who have to be in the right place in the right week. Holding all three together - and knowing which one is actually about to slip - is the job. The hardware these machines produce goes directly into flight, so a machine that is late or down has consequences that land well outside this team. You will be the person who sees a slip coming far enough ahead to do something about it, and who tells leadership the truth about it early. That means building schedules engineers actually believe, tracking the handful of items that genuinely drive the end date, and running the cross-functional execution that keeps design, build, supply chain, manufacturing, and quality pointed at the same date. You will join a small, senior, hands-on team that owns its hardware end to end. The machines are in production today and the next-generation configuration is in active design, which means you will work both problems at once. This is a floor-facing program role, not a reporting function - the schedule is only useful if it is built from what is actually happening at the machine. Passion for our mission and vision is required.
