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 the Lunar Permanence business unit, which develops Blue Origin’s Blue Moon landers and related products. To further Blue Origin's mission of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth, we are building sustainable infrastructure for our transport of crew and cargo from Earth to the lunar surface.

As part of a hardworking team of spacecraft engineers, you will assist the Lunar Test Engineering team with defining the architecture for test planning and execution, best practices and standards, common tooling, and sharing lessons learned for various spaceflight systems. You will share in the team’s impact across the Lunar Business Unit programs on all aspects of Test Engineering and inter-element products where processes and events cross programmatic boundaries.

The Test Engineering team has oversight of program and subsystem test campaigns to ensure compliance and continuity at all levels of integration. We also monitor Test Like You Fly exceptions, support technical reviews, and deconflict resources between programs and subsystems. Our team focuses on providing guidance and best practices across programs and helps drive commonality within the Integration and Test infrastructure of the Lunar Transportation Business Unit.

You will work directly with NASA and our National Team Partners supporting the Human Landing System (HLS) Sustaining Lunar Development (SLD) program and various other programs. You will play a key role in developing the Lunar Transportation system that will return humans to the Moon and extend human presence permanently beyond the bounds of Earth.
