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.

As a key member of the Lunar Core Components Pumps team, you will be applying your skills to performing fluids analysis on Lunar vehicle components (pumps). You will use the insight from these analyses to provide design guidance to Responsible Engineers to create more optimal pump designs for the Team’s broad range of supported applications. You will support the full product lifecycle and see this hardware mature from an initial CAD model to flight-qualified hardware that is installed onto one of our Lunar vehicles.
We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, communication skills, and dedication to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!
