- Ensure the launch facility components are properly maintained to support launch activities.
- Translate engineering requirements into robust, repeatable test and maintenance processes that support Blue Origin's mission.
- Collaborate closely with design engineering, quality assurance, supply chain, and production teams to accelerate building a road to space.
- Develop and maintain test documentation work instructions and inspection plans for routine and corrective maintenance for ground systems.
- Support root cause analysis of process or product non-conformances; develop and implement corrective actions that enhance reliability and performance.
- Ensure all work aligns with applicable quality and safety standards (AS9100, ISO 9001), supporting a safe and sustainable future in space.
- Identify and complete opportunities for efficiency gains and cost reduction, optimizing our ability to achieve our mission at scale.
The Test and Launch Engineer will drive rate and reliability for New Glenn's critical launch infrastructure - including our massive Transporter/Erector, LC-36 Launch Pad, Mobile Test Stand, and specialized test facilities. You'll join a team that doesn't just maintain these systems but continuously reinvents them to achieve unprecedented launch cadence and reliability.
This role requires technical breadth, spanning one or more of the following disciplines: cryogenics, pneumatics, hydraulics, mechanical systems, and large‑scale structures, electronics, transducers, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and software. Curiosity and ability to rapidly learn across disciplines will be your greatest assets. We empower our engineers to become true subject matter experts on their systems, with deep understanding that drives meaningful innovation.
Your critically important work will ensure the launch facility is ready for flight or ground test operations by performing pre‑flight verification testing, post‑launch inspections, post‑flight ground system data review, and rapidly returning the facility to a launch‑ready state. You will be expected to draft and review work orders for routine and corrective maintenance procedures, maintain configuration of the facility and equipment, and be well‑versed in the contents of system safety products involving our systems.
In addition to maintaining launch readiness, our team will also work to implement and commission engineering design changes which improve safety or reliability. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your dedicated commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable spaceflight.
Safety excellence is our foundation - our team develops sophisticated engineering approaches to manage complex systems with uncompromising standards. Your commitment to safety‑by‑design will help us simultaneously improve reliability and accelerate operations.
Minimum Qualifications- Bachelor of Science in Mechanical, Aerospace, Chemical, Electrical, or Computer Engineering, or related technical field from an accredited university.
- Experience Levels with supporting test teams as a fluids test engineer, console operator, or equivalent hands‑on role. (Years of experience: 3+ Level II Engineer, 5+ Level III Engineer, 8+ Sr Level Engineer)
- Working knowledge of various systems, ranging from pressurized gas systems, cryogenics, fluid systems, hydraulics, instrumentation and controls, or structural components, depending on discipline.
- Experience troubleshooting hardware and instrumentation related to fluid, mechanical, and electrical systems (hydraulics, pneumatics, cryogenics, or similar), with the ability to read schematics and P&IDs.
- 1+ years of experience developing English work instructions or test procedures to implement upgrades, perform maintenance, and verify system performance.
- Strong commitment to safety and proven ability to execute or oversee multiple projects in a dynamic environment.
- Ability to support off‑shift, extended hours, and weekends…
