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. 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! As part of a hardworking and diverse team of engineers, technicians and specialists, you will provide technical assessments and guidance to improve the repeatability and reliability of New Shepard. You will use data to resolve factors that drive reliability and support initiatives to drive improvements in production, test, and flight reliability. You will lead causal analysis investigations to deeply understand the direct technical cause and systemic root causes of reliability issues and vehicle down times. You will work with operations engineers, senior technical leaders, and maintenance professionals across Blue Origin programs, system elements, and the product lifecycle to drive design improvements, improved maintenance strategies, and process improvements.
