Technical Designer III - New Glenn Stage 2
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 hardworking team of engineers, designers, and technicians, you will support the design and development of the New Glenn Upper Stage, contributing to one of the most ambitious launch vehicles in the new space era. You will work closely with engineers to translate concepts into detailed, manufacturable designs that push the boundaries of what's possible.
