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 a part of New Shepard, a reusable suborbital rocket system designed to take astronauts and research payloads past the Karman line - the internationally recognized boundary of space. Through operational reusability, New Shepard supports our mission of lowering the cost of access to space.

As part of a hardworking team of diverse specialists, technicians, and engineers, you will directly manage ground system inventory for various spaceflight systems. You will share in the team's impact on all aspects of New Shepard launch facility readiness. You will directly enable the successful day to day operations of the New Shepard launch facility and Ground Support Equipment (GSE). The incumbent will maintain and manage the launch pad spares inventory, working closing with integrated supply chain and quality teammates. They will coordinate closely with the cleaning, passivation, and verification (CPV) lab and closely track the refurbishment and repair of hardware to maintain high inventory readiness posture. You will ensure parts are on hand and kitted to work orders. Collateral assignments may include management of calibrated tools, equipment, instrumentation, and may occasionally support touch labor at the launch facility. We expect the specialist to be mission focused, never saying "that's not my job," and excited to safely deliver results.

We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!
