Position Overview

Application close date:
Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed. 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!

- Blue Origin was founded by Jeff Bezos with the vision of enabling a future where millions of people live and work in space for the benefit of Earth. As one of the world's most ambitious aerospace and technology companies, Blue Origin develops reusable launch vehicles, in-space systems, and advanced propulsion technologies that are reshaping humanity's access to space. We believe in gradual, incremental progress — and in building systems and teams that are safe, reliable, and built to last.

Our work spans New Shepard, New Glenn, Blue Moon, and a growing portfolio of programs that demand the highest standards of engineering, operations, and supply chain excellence. At Blue Origin, every role contributes to a mission larger than any single program: a future where the resources of space are available to all.

• Lead end-to-end procurement and strategic sourcing for high-value ASIC materials and advanced components, including silicon wafers, specialized semiconductor inputs, and custom packaging, driving total cost of ownership optimization.
• Architect and execute end-to-end supply chain strategies in coordination with the Program Management Office (PMO), delivering time-phased acquisition plans aligned with the program Bill of Materials (BOM), cost accounts, and prioritized master schedules.
• Establish scalable semiconductor operations processes capable of supporting multiple concurrent ASIC and system-on-chip (SoC) programs from early-stage design through production.
• Own contractual operational coordination with the external semiconductor ecosystem, including foundry operations, OSAT partners, substrate vendors, wafer sort, and final test facilities.
• Negotiate and manage Long-Term Agreements (LTAs) and Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) contracts with global foundries and component vendors to secure supply continuity and cost-effective partnerships.
• Drive industrialization and capacity readiness with global manufacturing partners, including capacity reservations, allocation agreements, wafer start commitments, tooling, and mask set planning to meet volume and yield targets.
• Assess and track supplier Technical Readiness Levels (TRL) and Manufacturing Readiness Levels (MRL), driving maturation plans that align supplier capabilities with program lifecycle phase gates.
• Partner with engineering and quality on process qualification across the semiconductor supply base, including PPAP/PCN management, reliability tracking, and technology transfers from New Product Introduction (NPI) to high-volume manufacturing.
• Coordinate logistics and operational readiness supporting engineering samples, qualification hardware, first-silicon bring-up, characterization, and system integration.
• Integrate supplier build, test, and delivery commitments directly into the master program schedule, maintaining total visibility into key milestones and driving aggressive recovery actions when constraints threaten program need dates.
• Leverage AI-driven analytics alongside ERP/MRP platforms (such as SAP or Oracle) for predictive demand forecasting, end-to-end supply chain visibility, and exception management from wafer start through final test and delivery.
• Maintain semiconductor supply and inventory plans within the company's enterprise systems to dynamically support engineering…
