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 small, passionate team, you will work on launch vehicles, space vehicles, and launch facility systems for New Glenn.
** This critical role supports regulatory compliance efforts on the NG program focused on flight safety with the Federal Aviation Administration Office of Commercial Space Transportation and flight safety approvals with the USSF Range Safety organization.
** You will provide leadership in achieving the required regulatory approvals for the New Glenn launch vehicle program.
To be successful in this role, you will develop and maintain positive relationships across the New Glenn program and our US government partners at the US Space Force and NASA. You must be proactive in planning sophisticated products for flight safety in support of government certification requests. You will be in charge of conducting flight safety analysis studies including trajectory analysis, debris risk assessment, probability of failure modeling, and DFO/population risk evaluations—and generate clear, well-documented technical reports summarizing analysis results.
Lastly, you must have the resourcefulness and flexibility to perform at a high-level in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and be an incredible team member!
