Launch Ops Test Engineers II (B Shift and D Shift) at Blue Origin

Job description

Application close date: Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed. 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 team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! This role is part of Blue Origin Operations, which is comprised of Integrated Supply Chain, Test Operations, Safety, Quality, and Mission Assurance. This includes Manufacturing and Supply Chain support across all Blue Origin facilities. We are seeking a hands-on, detail-oriented Test and Launch Engineer to join our Launch Operations and OLS Test Operations team at Blue Origin. As a part of a small, passionate, and accomplished team of experts, you will be performing the operations and maintenance on ground support equipment. Depending on role, you will be working directly to test, maintain, inspect, and troubleshoot hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical, cryogenic, and electrical equipment. Position Specific Details: Shifts: B | Mon-Fri (5pm-3am) OR D | Fri-Sun (6pm-6am) Location: Example: Space Coast, FL Relocation: Available Key Responsibilities Ensure the launch facility components are properly maintained to support launch activities. Translate engineering requirements into robust, repeatable test and maintenance processes that support Blue Origin’s mission. Collaborate closely with design engineering, quality assurance, supply chain, and production teams to accelerate building a road to space. Develop and maintain test documentation work instructions and inspection plans for routine and corrective maintenance for ground systems. Support root cause analysis of process or product non-conformances; develop and implement corrective actions that enhance reliability and performance. Ensure all work aligns with applicable quality and safety standards (AS9100, ISO 9001), supporting a safe and sustainable future in space. Identify and complete opportunities for efficiency gains and cost reduction, optimizing our ability to achieve our mission at scale. Team Focus & Domain Expertise The Test and Launch Engineer will drive rate and reliability for New Glenn's critical launch infrastructure – including our massive Transporter/Erector, LC-36 Launch Pad, Mobile Test Stand, and specialized test facilities. You'll join a team that doesn't just maintain these systems but continuously reinvents them to achieve unprecedented launch cadence and reliability. This role requires technical breadth, spanning one or more of the following disciplines: cryogenics, pneumatics, hydraulics, mechanical systems, and large-scale structures, electronics, transducers, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and software. Curiosity and ability to rapidly learn across disciplines will be your greatest assets. We empower our engineers to become true subject matter experts on their systems, with deep understanding that drives meaningful innovation. Your critically important work will ensure the launch facility is ready for flight or ground test operations by performing pre-flight verification testing, post-launch inspections, post-flight ground system data review, and rapidly returning the facility to a launch ready state. You will be expected to draft and review work orders for routine and corrective maintenance procedures, maintain configuration of the facility and equipment, and be well-versed in the contents of system safety products involving our systems. In addition to maintaining launch readiness, our team will also work to implement and commission engineering design changes which improve safety or reliability. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your dedicated commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable spaceflight. Safety excellence is our foundation – our team develo
