New Glenn Avionics Production Support Engineer II
About The Position
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 passionate and accomplished team, you will provide critical engineering support to transition our current avionics designs into rate production. This hands-on, fixed-term role is focused on resolving manufacturing challenges, improving build processes, and working directly with our production team to successfully ramp up the manufacturing of New Glenn's flight hardware. Your efforts will be essential in scaling our production capabilities while maintaining the highest standards of quality and reliability. We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise and problem-solving skills to help us build the road to space. Passion for our mission and a desire to see designs become reality at scale is required!
