About the position

At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We are committed to developing reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. This role is part of the Blue Origin Engines business unit, focusing on the design, development, manufacturing, and testing of engines and propulsion systems. Our family of engines is powering the next generation of rockets for commercial, civil, national security, and human spaceflight. As a Propulsion Engineer II, you will join a passionate group supporting engine system operations at our orbital launch vehicle preparation site. Your role will involve aiding the processing of engines from an acceptance test condition to a ready-to-install condition on the vehicle. You will be a vital part of ensuring smooth installation and providing feedback to fellow integration engineers for improvements. Your responsibilities will include driving design for manufacturability, updating assembly procedures for flight engines identified through root cause analyses, and supporting the production of various components such as nozzles, gimbals, and flex joints. Continuous improvement will be your main focus, as you work to build and integrate at a higher rate with increasingly simplified designs. To succeed in this position, you will need to balance multiple technical issues and demonstrate a commitment to continuous learning while fostering a collaborative environment. Passion for our mission and vision is essential, as is your technical expertise, leadership skills, and dedication to quality, all of which will positively impact safe human spaceflight.
