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. This role supports the development, planning and execution of development, qualification and integrated vehicle testing for New Glenn First Stage. This includes fluids, pneumatic, cryogenic, and electro-mechanical systems. This role will serve as a Test SME embedded in a design team, enabling high-rate testing of high-quality and low-cost systems using design, automation, and program-activities.
