Jobs at Blue Origin

Lead mechanical design and development of cryogenic electric motors for lunar landers: design stators/rotors/windings, perform stress and thermal analyses, drive electromagnetic and performance modeling, manage supplier qualification and production readiness, and guide components through testing and flight qualification while collaborating cross-functionally.

Perform 1D–3D thermal and fluids analysis for spaceflight fluid systems, defining performance, requirements, sizing, and test criteria. Conduct propulsion/cryogenic trade studies, maintain models and documentation, present results, and collaborate with systems, design, and procurement teams across the product lifecycle from concept to flight.

Lead human factors engineering for Blue Origin's Lunar program: set HF requirements, drive verification strategy, perform task and human error analyses, run human-in-the-loop test campaigns, conduct anthropometric and ergonomic evaluations, influence system architecture, liaise with NASA Astronaut Office, mentor engineers, and contribute enterprise HF standards to support crew safety and operability for crewed lunar vehicles.

The role involves supporting the Space Resources Program by managing system safety and reliability, ensuring compliance with safety regulations, identifying hazards, and improving safety practices throughout hardware development and operational processes.

The Senior Manager will lead the Deployable Structures and Separation Systems team, overseeing technical performance, budget, and schedule while managing team development and delivering hardware for Lunar missions.

The Technical Project Manager III will manage RF component development projects for lunar vehicles, ensuring technical compliance, budget adherence, and communication with stakeholders. Responsibilities include project oversight, establishing technical roadmaps, and collaborating with teams to meet program milestones.

Lead mission systems engineering for Mars Telecommunications Network ground and operations architecture. Define and maintain mission and interface requirements, ICDs, verification/validation, and testing. Collaborate with spacecraft, ground software, mission operations, and payload teams to ensure operability across long light-time delays, perform integration and flight-software/ground testing, and align systems with NASA/CCSDS standards.

The Systems Engineer III role involves developing system-level requirements and conducting architecture trade studies for advanced space-based sensing systems, focusing on UHF-band antenna systems.

Serve as Responsible Engineer owning technical baselines; develop and maintain Interface Control Documents (ICDs); lead and facilitate agile sprints; collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure system integration and resolve interface issues; support verification and validation activities.

The Technical Designer develops design layouts, maintains CAD data, reviews engineering drawings, and supports structural design for lunar landers.

Manage end-to-end supply chain strategy for ASIC materials, lead procurement and strategic sourcing, develop supplier relationships, and mitigate risks while leveraging advanced analytics.

The Senior Manager Supply Chain & Logistics will oversee procurement performance, mentor a team, lead strategic sourcing, and ensure compliance for commercial space programs.

Create, maintain, and release avionics part, assembly, and install CAD models for lunar transfer stage using Creo and Windchill. Interface with subsystem teams, review drawings for standards, perform GD&T and tolerance analysis, manage large assemblies/BOMs/ICMs, and apply manufacturability and cost/schedule tradeoffs.

Lead RF telemetry planning and assessments for New Glenn. Develop and maintain telemetry requirements, prioritize data within bandwidth constraints, coordinate cross-functional teams, design analysis-operations interfaces, develop flight data planning tools, and deliver solutions to meet complex spacecraft telemetry needs.

Lead development and improvement of low-volume, high-precision PCB assemblies and wiring harness manufacturing processes. Manage vendor selection and qualification, create routings and production schedules, support MRR/MRB and non-conformance dispositioning, and develop inspection and verification processes to ensure aerospace-quality production.

Design, implement, and verify flight-grade FPGA and digital hardware for robotic avionics. Lead RTL/SoC integration, FPGA bring-up, optimization, debugging, and V&V. Checkout high-reliability PCBs, define and execute integrated/environmental/radiation tests, mentor junior engineers, document designs, and collaborate cross-functionally through the full product lifecycle to deliver flight-ready hardware.

Perform fluids and thermal analyses for lunar vehicle pumps using CFD and hand calculations; provide design recommendations, run secondary flow and thermal models, support test programs, and guide pump development from CAD to flight-qualified hardware. Lead a small fluids-analysis team and optimize pump designs for efficiency, reliability, manufacturability, mass, and leakage.

Lead reliability engineering for spacecraft during concept and formulation: establish reliability frameworks, perform FMEA/FTA/RBD/PHA, create reliability requirements and budgets, maintain reliability predictions (MIL‑HDBK‑217/NPRD), support test/verification strategies, drive mitigation of critical failures, and collaborate with systems and subsystem leads to ensure mission success.

As a Trajectory Analyst at Blue Origin, you'll perform trajectory modeling, flight safety analysis, and ensure compliance with public risk requirements, contributing to mission design and optimization.

The Mechanical Design Engineer III will lead the design and development of cryogenic pumps for lunar applications, collaborating with experts and managing pump life cycles.
