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 Blue Origin Engines business unit, where our focus is the design, development, manufacturing, and testing of engines and propulsion systems. Built for multiple uses, our family of engines is powering the next generation of rockets for commercial, civil, national security, and human spaceflight.
As part of a small, high-impact team responsible for integration, installation, commissioning, maintenance, and operations of electrical machines and the power systems around it, the Electrical Engineer delivers end-to-end electrical engineering solutions across a broad scope. Working with minimal direction, this engineer determines and develops approaches to complex problems, partners across a diverse set of technical and operational stakeholders, and contributes engineering judgment to the supporting disciplines that surround a successful integration effort.
