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.

As part of a hardworking team of technicians, you will assemble, repair, and evaluate electrical and mechanical assemblies for spaceflight systems. You will share in the team's impact on all aspects of the production, evaluation, and development of flight‑grade avionics. Work on avionics requires a high level of proficiency in the technical aspects of the work such as soldering, component level board work, mechanical assembly, and assembly wiring.

We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!
