NDT Inspector - Radiography; RT - Level II - Weekend Weekend Night Shift

Overview

At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We’re developing reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. This role is part of Blue Origin Operations, which includes Integrated Supply Chain, Test Operations, Safety, Quality, and Mission Assurance, with Manufacturing and Supply Chain support across all Blue Origin facilities.

As part of a collaborative team of Non-destructive Testing specialists, technicians, and engineers, you will perform development and production activities involving Nondestructive Testing (NDT) methods for various spaceflight systems. You will contribute to the team’s impact on assuring part integrity, quality, and life span. This position will primarily involve Radiographic inspection of flight-critical metallic and/or composite flight hardware and test samples.

This role requires dedicated commitment and attention to safe and repeatable spaceflight. We are looking for someone to apply technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required.
