• 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 of ground systems.
• Support root‑cause analysis of process or product non‑conformances; develop and implement corrective actions to enhance reliability and performance.
• Ensure all work aligns with applicable quality and safety standards (AS9100, ISO 9001).
• Identify and complete opportunities for efficiency gains and cost reduction, optimizing our ability to achieve our mission at scale.

• Design, construct, operate, and maintain test facilities to support the development, qualification, and production of orbital rockets, lunar spacecraft, and launch vehicle systems at Launch Complexes 36, 11, and 12, including MTA and MTS.
• Generate and execute test procedures involving high‑pressure inert and non‑inert gas systems, cryogenic & hypergolic fluid systems.
• Work with technicians to perform work on test facilities, handle test articles, and lead test operations.
• Review and interpret test data to assess facility health and performance, both at the system and component level.
• Size, select, troubleshoot, and properly maintain test, launch, and fluid system components and instrumentation to ensure readiness for test and launch activities.
• Perform Process Hazard Analyses (PHAs) and Hazard & Operability Studies (HAZOPs) to identify potential process safety incidents, deviations, and operational issues.
• 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 and test systems.
• Support root‑cause analysis of process or product non‑conformances; develop and implement corrective actions to enhance reliability and performance.
• Ensure all work aligns with applicable quality and safety standards (AS9100, ISO 9001).
• Identify and complete opportunities for efficiency gains, cadence improvement, and cost reduction, optimizing our ability to achieve our mission at scale.

The Test and Launch Engineer works across disciplines such as cryogenics, pneumatics, hydraulics, mechanical systems, large‑scale structures, electronics, transducers, PLCs, and software. Rapid learning across these areas is essential. The engineer will conduct pre‑flight verification testing, post‑launch inspections, post‑flight data review, and system configuration maintenance, while also implementing design changes that improve safety or reliability. The role is critical to ensuring launch readiness and supports a high‑cadence launch schedule.

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical, Aerospace, Chemical, Electrical, or Computer Engineering, or related technical field from an accredited university.
• Experience supporting test teams as a fluids test engineer, console operator, or equivalent hands‑on role (0–3 years for Level I, 3+ years for Level II, 5+ years for Level III, 8+ years for Sr Level).
