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!  

As part of a hardworking team of diverse technicians, you will be working directly with research and development of  hardware for various advanced manufacturing technologies. You will share in the team’s impact on all aspects of reaching the goal of millions of people living and working in space. You will be responsible for assisting in assembling, and supporting testing of hardware for various advanced manufacturing technologies. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your dedicated commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable spaceflight.

If you've got the skills to bring rough sketches, technical drawings, and verbal instructions to life, we want to connect with you. You're a pro at working from a sketch or CAD drawings and have a solid handle on basic math and formulas. As a kid, you couldn't get enough of Legos and Erector sets; as a teen, you were the go-to person for working on any machinery that crossed your path. You're all about working with tools and equipment, climbing up and down ladders and lugging heavy stuff around. You're just as comfortable working solo as you are on a team, and you're willing to go the extra mile to get projects done on time. You're always keen to learn, pay attention to the nitty-gritty, take pride in your work, and own up to your results. On top of that, you're a master at thinking creatively, finding solutions on the fly, and coloring outside the lines. If you're excited about joining a dynamic team that's carving out the future—and you've got the skills to make it happen—we want to hear from you.
