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 diverse team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight!
We are a diverse team of collaborators, doers, and problem-solvers who are relentlessly committed to a culture of safety. Would you like to help define the future of human space flight and have a direct impact on how commercial space builds the infrastructure for the future space industry? Join us in lowering the cost of access to space and enabling Blue Origin's vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth.
As part of a small, passionate, and driven team of propulsion test engineers, you will be responsible for carrying out test operations to meet program objectives for the current and future generations of Blue Origin engines. Our teams believe in continuous improvement of ourselves and our colleagues as we train and develop each other into our defined roles. In this role you will directly contribute to engine test operations by assisting with test planning and execution, risk identification and mitigation, hardware integration for test campaigns, post-test inspections, data review, and engine performance analysis. You will help identify and improve non-conforming test hardware while you also establish processes that promote efficient and reliable testing. This position will directly have a hand in defining the future of rocket engine development and thereby space exploration and will require your dedicated commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable spaceflight.
To be successful in this role, you will need experience in rocket engine test operations. Your experience should include writing and safely executing test procedures, writing and executing test hardware maintenance plans, and be familiar with test instrumentation and data acquisition systems. You should also have experience in reviewing test data and analyzing engine performance to meet test objectives. You will also be asked to work independently and lead sophisticated projects with minimal guidance and mentorship.
We are looking for driven life-long learners that can apply and hone their technical expertise, leadership skills, emotional intelligence, and dedication to quality, to positively impact the future of safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision, along with inclusive and diverse values are required!
