Volume Metrologist - D Shift

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 Blue Origin Operations, which is comprised of Integrated Supply Chain, Test Operations, Safety, Quality, and Mission Assurance. This includes Manufacturing and Supply Chain support across all Blue Origin facilities.

In this role, you will be responsible for performing high‑accuracy dimensional measurements in support of rocket manufacturing, assembly, and integration operations. You will work with state‑of‑the‑art instrumentation and metrology software to ensure our hardware meets the precise tolerances required for safe and reliable spaceflight.
