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 Blue Origin Operations, which is comprised of Integrated Supply Chain, Test Operations, Safety, Quality, and Mission Assurance. This includes Manufacturing and Supply Chain support across all Blue Origin facilities.We are seeking a hands-on, detail-orientedTest and Launch Engineer to join our Launch Operations team at Blue Origin. As a part of a small, passionate, and accomplished team of experts, you will be performing the operations and maintenance on ground support equipment. Depending on role, you will be working directly to test, maintain, inspect, and troubleshoot hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical, cryogenic, and electrical equipment. Position Specific Details:
Key Responsibilities
Team Focus & Domain Expertise The Test and Launch Engineer will drive rate and reliability for New Glenn's critical launch infrastructure - including our massive Transporter/Erector, LC-36 Launch Pad, Mobile Test Stand, and specialized test facilities. You'll join a team that doesn't just maintain these systems but continuously reinvents them to achieve unprecedented launch cadence and reliability. This role requires technical breadth, spanning one or more of the following disciplines: cryogenics, pneumatics, hydraulics, mechanical systems, and large-scale structures, electronics, transducers, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and software. Curiosity and ability to rapidly learn across disciplines will be your greatest assets. We empower our engineers to become true subject matter experts on their systems, with deep understanding that drives meaningful innovation. Your critically important work will ensure the launch facility is ready for flight or ground test operations by performing pre-flight verification testing, post-launch inspections, post-flight ground system data review, and rapidly returning the facility to a launch ready state. You will be expected to draft and review work orders for routine and corrective maintenance procedures, maintain configuration of the facility and equipment, and be well-versed in the contents of system safety products involving our systems. In addition to maintaining launch readiness, our team will also work to implement and commission engineering design changes which improve safety or reliability. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your dedicated commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable spaceflight. Safety excellence is our foundation - our team develops sophisticated engineering approaches to manage complex systems with uncompromising standards. Your commitment to safety-by-design will help us simultaneously improve reliability and accelerate operations. The mission is clear: transform our launch infrastructure to support dozens of New Glenn launches annually - a cadence that requires revolutionary thinking, not incremental improvement. When challenges arise, this team rises to meet them, working with intensity and purpose to solve problems that matter. The engineers who thrive here combine technical excellence with relentless drive. They see long-standing problems as opportunities, possess the courage to champion bold solutions, and feel genuine excitement watching their innovations help launch one of the world's most powerful rockets into orbit. If you're energized by ambitious goals and want your engineering to literally reach space, this is your mission. Minimum Qualifications
