  • Job Description

      Req#: R36298

      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 commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable space flight. 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.

      New Graduate Engineers may select from two full-time options: the New Graduate Rotation Program, or direct opportunities on one of our engineering teams. This application will ask you which opportunity you would prefer. If you identify interest in the Rotation Program you will be considered for that role before being considered for other opportunities. This is the only application you will need to submit to be considered for both pathways.

      Attention: Please do not apply to more than two positions. If you are a fit for a different role, we’ll contact you to discuss those opportunities.

      New Graduate Rotation Program:

      Gain hands-on experience and expand your engineering skillset through diverse hands-on experiences and mentorship. During your three, four-month rotations, you’ll explore a variety of fields in support of our business units: New Shepard, New Glenn, Blue Engines, Lunar Transportation, and Space Systems Development. After the year-long program you’ll partner with the Program Manager to decide which team is the best fit moving forward.

      Direct Hire Opportunities:

      You may want to get straight to work in your targeted field. In that case, we will consider you for direct hire onto one of our engineering teams in support of our business units: New Shepard, New Glenn, Blue Engines, Lunar Transportation, and Space Systems Development.

      Locations: Kent, WA; Van Horn, TX; Cape Canaveral, FL; Huntsville, AL; Los Angeles, CA; Phoenix, AZ; Denver, CO; Washington, DC

      • Based upon your desired career path, your projects may involve many aspects of applied electronics and electrical engineering including avionics hardware (from PCBs to electrical systems), software, hardware in the loop, instrumentation & controls, system test, power systems, communication systems, mechanical systems, propulsion systems, manufacturing, and systems engineering.
      • Specific duties are subject to our business unit objectives.

      Qualifications:

      • Minimum of a B.S. degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science, or mechatronics.
      • Ability to work independently and as part of a team on rapid development programs.
      • Relevant internship/co-op and academic project experience that demonstrate development of both technical skills as well as leadership qualities.
      • Self-driven with the ability to seek out requirements with minimal direction.
      • Strong written, verbal, communication, and interpersonal skills.
      • Passion for Blue’s Mission with a strong desire to continuously learn and improve.
      • Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and strengthen our culture of inclusion.
