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!

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.

As part of a hardworking team of diverse engineers, you will work at the intersection of program management, engineering, integrated supply chain, quality, and test operations, supporting team effectiveness and coordination. Assignments can range from supporting procurement activities to component development and testing coordination. In early project phases, with the oversight of your Integrated Project Team Lead (IPTL), you may support the definition of the project schedule to achieve overall program goals and component requirements. In later phases, you will help coordinate internal and external stakeholders, oversee changes, and help track the resolution to unexpected problems in support of engine or subsystem builds for integration into test facilities launch vehicles, and test activities.

As a Project Engineer within the Engines Design Office, you will support a passionate team of contributors and experts serving the BE-7 engine Turbomachinery Integrated Product Team (IPT). In this role, you will support and track the execution of engine turbopump and ancillary hardware within an engine program. Potential hardware could include top-level pump assemblies and sub-assembly components. With guidance from your IPTL, you will contribute to tracking the design, manufacturing, and testing of turbomachinery components and assemblies and will help define and refine best practices to increase the efficiency of our project execution and manufacturing approaches and processes. In addition, you may interface with vendors or small teams to set requirements and track supplier developments for procuring hardware/ tooling and assemblies, including coordinating with vendors and Blue through technical topics. As a Project Engineer, you must enjoy solving communication and organizational problems, earning trust, and improving the overall performance of all teams involved. We are seeking a self-motivated and highly organized individual who can work with some direction and coordinate teams in the execution of engineering integration activities. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your dedicated commitment and detailed attention toward safe and repeatable spaceflight.
