We are a diverse team of collaborators, doers, and problem-solvers who are relentlessly committed to a culture of safety. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable space flight. Join us in lowering the cost of access to space and enabling Blue Origin’s vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth.

This role is part of the Blue Origin Engines business unit, where our focus is the design, development, manufacturing and testing of engines and propulsion systems. Built for multiple uses, our family of engines is powering the next generation of rockets for commercial, civil, national security and human spaceflight.

As part of a small, passionate and accomplished team of experts, you will share in the team’s impact on all aspects of design, assembly, testing and support of flight hardware.

You will be responsible for creating models, drawings, and configurations of engine hardware with a focus on assemblies, precision machined parts, and source controlled items. You will be responsible for the release of the detail design, production/manufacturing support, as well as the integration into the rocket engine assembly. Some components you could be responsible for include valves, high pressure cryogenic fluid systems, pressurization systems, and hydraulic systems. As part of this role, you will work closely with the Responsible Engineers, Development/Test Engineers, and Manufacturing Engineers across the team on a daily basis.

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!
