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 a hardworking team of engineers, you will own the manufacturing and test tooling for the structures and tanks work stream, coordinating across design manufacturing and test to optimize for cost, manufacturability and capability. You will develop ground support equipment, jigs, and access platforms used in New Glenn Advanced Upper Stage production and test. You will collaborate with ME and RE teams to create requirement sets, manage tooling interfaces to flight hardware, develop conceptual and detailed tooling designs and manage tooling schedules, including internal geometry release need dates. You will coordinate with and oversee internal and external suppliers' execution of tooling projects, including vendor communication, design reviews, vendor execution, tool delivery and commissioning. As a detail-oriented engineer, you will prepare and maintain the documentation required for building and using the tools you introduce. Finally, you will collaborate with and train operation teams through the successful use of finished products. 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!
