- 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 '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 electronics, transducers, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), software, and other support equipment. 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.
The mission is clear: transform our launch infrastructure to support dozens of New Glenn launches annually - a cadence that requires revolutionary thinking, not incremental improvement. When challenges arise, this team rises to meet them, working with intensity and purpose to solve problems that matter.
The engineers who thrive here combine technical excellence with relentless drive. They see long-standing problems as opportunities, possess the courage to champion bold solutions, and feel genuine excitement watching their innovations help launch one of the world's most powerful rockets into orbit. If you're energized by ambitious goals and want your engineering to literally reach space, this is your mission.
