Operations & Integrations Engineer II - Glenn

Position: Operations & Integrations Engineer II - New Glenn

Operations & Integrations Engineer II – New Glenn

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!

Overview

This role supports the development and operations of New Glenn, a single‑configuration, heavy‑lift orbital launch vehicle capable of routinely carrying people and payloads to low‑Earth orbit, geostationary transfer orbit, cislunar, and beyond. Its first stage is fully reusable, and the vehicle was designed from the beginning to be human‑capable.

As an operations integrator, you will contribute to all aspects of your subsystem—including CONOPS, functional architecture, components, software, and integrated interactions. You will follow the development of component hardware, autonomous software, and integrated development testing, and be accountable for feeding forward lessons learned into the integrated operation of your subsystem on the flight vehicle. Working closely with the stage‑level Vehicle Operations Integration lead, you will create a comprehensive set of constraints, alerts, and limits for the New Glenn test and launch teams.
