About The Position

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 the avionics instrumentation team, you will support the design and documentation of ruggedized electronics enclosures and sensor installations for spaceflight hardware. Working alongside senior engineers and designers, you will build your skills in 2D/3D modeling, GD&T, and configuration control while contributing directly to flight hardware. This is a strong entry point for a new engineer with solid CAD fundamentals who wants to grow into avionics packaging and instrumentation design.
