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 is part of Advanced Concepts and Enterprise Engineering (ACE), supporting Blue Origin’s mission of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth.

The team fosters innovation and drives engineering workflows of the future, shared solutions and standards, simplicity and lower costs, and manufacturable design.

As a Human Factors Engineer (HFE) within ACE, part of a small, passionate, and accomplished team of Human Integration experts, you will play a central role in ensuring that Blue Origin's space and ground systems are human-centered — actively prioritizing and integrating the capabilities, limitations, and needs of human users into processes, designs, and operations company-wide. Working closely with a Principal Human Factors Engineer, you will develop the HF frameworks, standards, and best practices that program-embedded HFEs and systems engineers across Blue Origin rely on to make human-centric design decisions.

You will also provide direct HF support to ACE programs, grounding your enterprise work in real engineering challenges. This is a unique opportunity to shape how a next-generation space company thinks about and practices human factors engineering sion for our mission and a commitment to crew and operator safety are essential.
** Responsibilities:
*** Enterprise Standards (approximately 70%)
** Partner with the Principal Human Factors Engineer to develop, document, and maintain enterprise-level human factors standards, methodologies, and best practices for cross-program application across Blue Origin  + Develop:
Blue Origin Human Integration Standard (with similarities to NASA-STD-3001 Volume
2);
Astronaut Systems Design Guide;
Handbooks:
Human-Systems Integration (HSI), Task Analysis, Human Error Analysis, Worksite Analysis, Human-in-the-Loop Evaluations, and Operational Nomenclature Best Practices  + Maintain:
Blue Origin User Interface Standard;
Ground Operability & Ergonomics Design Guide
* Develop and deliver training materials and support for enterprise-level documents, enabling consistent adoption across programs and business units
* Support development of AI tools to aid in application of human factors processes and principles
* Maintain open communication and host or support regular review sessions with business unit stakeholders to gather input and drive continuous improvement of enterprise HF outputs
* ACE Program Support (approximately 30%)
** Serve as a human factors subject matter expert to program-embedded engineers and designers, providing guidance on human factors requirements (e.g., ergonomics, usability, workload, human error) and methodologies (e.g., task and human error analyses, worksite analysis, human-in-the-loop testing)
* Apply human factors principles to ACE program activities, including requirements review, design evaluations, and human-in-the-loop (HITL) test support
* Support the creation and review of task and human error analyses to inform design and operations decisions
* Perform anthropometric analyses and ergonomic evaluations in support of program-specific design questions
* Support human factors verification planning, including mapping requirements to verification events
* Collaborate with systems engineering, design, and operations teams to integrate human-centered design principles into engineering workflows
