Maintenance Engineer I

Description:

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 Kármán line, the internationally recognized boundary of space. Through operational reusability, New Shepard supports our mission of lowering the cost of access to space.

We are a diverse team of collaborators, doers, and problem-solvers who are relentlessly committed to a culture of safety. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your dedication and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable space flight!

As a maintenance engineer, you will develop the methods and procedures to implement design changes, conduct non-conformance dispositions, and lead all aspects of preventative maintenance throughout a launch cycle. Once New Shepard rolls back into the hangar following a mission, you immediately begin getting the vehicles ready for launch again, reviewing inspection results and working with members of the maintenance team to implement repairs and upgrades to get the vehicle ready for another safe flight. This will require coordinating with engineers and managers in Kent, WA as you work closely with technicians at Launch Site One on the maintenance floor. These efforts will be met with challenges to increase launch cadence and reduce cost, while maintaining high engineering and safety standards.
