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.

Our first MK1 Lunar Lander, christened "Endurance," will be the largest and most complex vehicle ever to land on the moon. Our second MK1 will continue humanity's exploration of the Lunar south pole by delivering NASA's VIPER rover. Two more MK1 missions, awarded by NASA, will deliver Lunar Terrain Vehicles (LTVs) to the lunar surface as part of NASA's Moon Base program.
As part of a hardworking team of specialists, technicians, and engineers, you will be the vehicle-level integrator for MK1's fluid systems. You'll own the requirements, interfaces, budgets, and design parameters that tie the lander's pressurized systems together. You'll also define and support the integrated vehicle tests that prove those systems are ready to fly: thermal vacuum, tanking, fluids channelization, and proof and leak testing. Your work will directly shape a vehicle headed for the lunar surface.
