New Shepard – Actuated Mechanical Design Engineer II

At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space
for the benefit of Earth. Were 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 part of the New Shepard program. New Shepard is 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.

As part of a hardworking team of diverse engineers, you will be responsible
for flight control and actuated systems of the New Shepard reusable launch
vehicle. You will participate in the entire design cycle including system
architecture, requirements derivation, conceptual and detailed design,
system performance modeling, structural analysis, manufacturing and
integration support, development testing, and qualification. You will
participate in definition of component groups (e.g., hydraulic and
electro-mechanical actuators, mechanisms, valves, manifolds, piping,
and sensors) including design, specification, procurement,
processing, testing, and discrepancy resolution of specific components.
Additionally, you will identify and implement design changes to improve
system reliability and reduce operational cost, participate in verification
audits of existing components and subsystems, and participate in component
and subsystem level testing including planning, execution, data reduction, and

We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership
skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human
spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!
