Jobbeschreibung

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.

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.

As part of a small, hardworking, passionate, diverse, and accomplished team of experts within Mission Management’s Payload Projects & Integration team, you will be responsible for studies, concepts, analysis, testing, and qualification of mission unique structural subsystems housed within New Glenn's payload accommodations element. This is a customer interfacing role that requires ingenuity and creativity to integrate customer payloads to the launch vehicle. The position requires a broad range of skillsets, adaptability, dedicated commitment, and attention to details to ensure safe and repeatable spaceflight.

We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, customer focused mindset, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!
