Stage Hardware Development Engineer - New Glenn GS2-4E

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 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. This role supports the development of New Glenn's second-generation upper stage vehicle ("Quattro"),which is a 4-engine evolutionofthe New Glenn second stage in operation today.This stagewill be a high-rate and low-cost solutionwhich both defines and transforms the future capability ofNewGlenn.

As the stage hardware development engineer, you will report directly to the Quattro Stage Assembly team director. You will be responsible for design, analysis, development, and integration of both flight and ground support hardware for the stage-level integration and test activities. You will collaborate with Quattro module teams, ground systems, and test groups to develop and deliver mechanical, structural, and fluid design solutions to the stage and demonstrate extreme cradle-to-grave ownership of hardware required for vehicle hotfire & qualification, final integration, and stage transportation.

This position will directlyimpactthe history of space exploration and will require your dedicated commitment and attention towards safe and reliable spaceflight. If you're excited by providing both near term and long-term value, solving novel problems, learning about interesting topics, and completing challenging projects, please apply!
