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 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.

We are seeking a skilled Electrical Engineer (Level II) to join our component test team responsible for testing and validating high-power electro-mechanical actuators. In this role, you will design, develop, and execute test procedures for sophisticated actuator systems operating at 400V DC with power outputs of approximately 100 kW. This position plays a critical role in ensuring the reliability and performance of flight-critical components for our next-generation aerospace systems.
