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 located in North Hollywood, CA.

At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. This position is part of the Advanced Concepts and Enterprise Engineering (ACE) business unit. ACE is Blue Origin’s advanced development arm dedicated to developing mission architectures, creating, and feeding new technologies into our existing offerings, building our next generation of leaders, and commercializing new platforms that fuel Blue Origin’s growth and further its mission. Our work scope is broad and deep, forging the path toward our vision of millions of people living and working in space. We believe that to preserve our planet, humanity must expand beyond our limits, venturing into space to explore and discover new energy and material resources.

In pursuit of this vision, we invite you to join our dynamic Space Resources Program where you will work entirely onsite at our North Hollywood Facility. We're dedicated to developing and demonstrating In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) technologies for the Moon and beyond. If our mission resonates with you and you are eager to contribute, you could be the perfect addition to our inclusive, open-minded, and forward-thinking team.

As part of a team of systems engineers you will contribute to the definition, development, and execution of Blue Alchemist. You will play a crucial role in all phases of our rapid product development cycle, from conceptualization to formal design, implementation, environmental testing, and final integration. You will engage with teammates and foster a broader understanding of systems engineering to develop products to support requirements, design, analysis, verification, and validation activities of complex systems through the systems lifecycle. We work in fast-paced cycles of design, analysis, and integration to deliver a scalable solution. We're looking for someone adaptable, willing to take action, eager to learn, and committed to safety and quality. Your creativity, innovative spirit, and ability to navigate changing requirements are crucial.
