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.

As part of a hardworking team of engineers, you will lead the overall physical integration and packaging of structural, mechanical, fluids, and avionics subsystems of various spaceflight systems. You will share in the team’s impact on all aspects of New Glenn product development and mission integration. You will create and manage interface definitions between vehicle subsystems and potential payloads-including payload fairings, payload adapters, and payload-specific accommodations-using appropriate control documents to ensure that the configuration supports major design reviews and integration milestones. You will coordinate regular configuration reviews to address interfaces, subsystem functionality, assembly and operations. You will communicate and collaborate with all development teams involved on projects, including payload customers and mission-specific integration teams.

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!, * Benefits include: Medical, dental, vision, basic and supplemental life insurance, paid parental leave, short and long-term disability, 401(k) with a company match of up to 5%, and an Education Support Program.
