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 Advanced Concepts and Enterprise Engineering (ACE), supporting Blue Origin’s mission of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. The team fosters innovation and drives engineering workflows of the future, shared solutions and standards, simplicity and lower costs, and manufacturable design.

At Blue Origin, 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’s 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.

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 a must!

Key Responsibilities

• Perform mechanical and electrical integration of components, subsystems, and test articles, involving:
• Structural assemblies, mechanisms, and fluid systems
• Harnesses, sensors, and instrumentation
• Power distribution and control hardware
• Set up, operate, and maintain vacuum systems and related hardware, including:
• Chamber assembly, pump-down, and venting operations
• Leak checks, RGA use (where applicable), and basic troubleshooting of vacuum performance
• Work with high-voltage and high-amperage systems, including:
• Power supplies, power distribution units, interlocks, and safety systems
• High-current bus bars, contactors, and protective devices
• Strict adherence to lockout/tagout and electrical safety procedures
• Set up and operate furnaces and thermal processing equipment:
• Thermal cycling and bake-out operations for components and assemblies
• Monitoring temperature profiles, documenting run parameters, and maintaining equipment
• Support early development and prototype hardware:
• Build, modify, and rework experimental assemblies based on evolving designs
• Provide hands‑on feedback to engineers on design for manufacturability, integration, and test
• Execute test setups and operations:
• Install instrumentation (pressure, temperature, strain, flow, etc.)
• Route and secure cabling and plumbing to meet functional and cleanliness requirements
• Support test execution, monitoring, and post-test tear-down
• Interpret engineering documentation:
• Work from drawings, schematics, wiring diagrams, P&IDs, work instructions, and test procedures
• Identify and help resolve documentation discrepancies with engineering
• Maintain high standards of safety, quality, and housekeeping:
• Follow all safety and contamination control requirements (FOD, ESD, cleanliness, PPE)
• Support continuous improvement of build and test processes
