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 the Lunar Permanence business unit, which develops Blue Origin's Blue Moon landers and related products. To further Blue Origin's mission of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth, we are building sustainable infrastructure for our transport of crew and cargo from Earth to the lunar surface.

We are a diverse team of collaborators, doers, and problem-solvers who are relentlessly committed to a culture of safety. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your dedication and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable space flight. Join us in lowering the cost of access to space and enabling Blue Origin's vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth.

We are looking for a design engineer to develop, release, and support of engineering artifacts across the entire life cycle to support hardware fabrication, assembly, verification, test and operations for the MK2 Crew Lander propulsion system. You will design and build portions of the fluids & propulsion systems for the MK2 Crew Lander. Your work will include full ownership of CAD models and coordinating analysis and manufacturing development efforts through the complete life cycle of multiple systems from conceptual design, detailed design, component development, assembly, verification, and operation.

You will work closely with the manufacturing and operations teams to ensure your designs are follow design for manufacturability and cost principles. You will mentor entry level engineers and perform technical peer reviews.
