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 Blue Origin Engines business unit, where our focus is the design, development, manufacturing, and testing of engines and propulsion systems.

Built for multiple uses, our family of engines is powering the next generation of rockets for commercial, civil, national security, and human spaceflight.

This role is part of Blue Origin’s Avionics & Control Products (ACP) organization within the Engine Business Unit and supports the design, development, manufacturing, integration, and testing of avionics and control hardware—including electrical test equipment and associated harness/power/grounding infrastructure.

You will apply strong technical skills and a quality-first mindset to support safe, repeatable spaceflight by contributing hands-on assembly, rework execution and increasingly owning technical deliverables such as troubleshooting, checkout, and hardware documentation/configuration.
