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!
We are a diverse team of collaborators, doers, and problem-solvers who are relentlessly committed to a culture of safety. You will directly impact the history of space exploration and this role will require your commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable space flight. Join us in lowering the cost of access to space and enabling Blue Origin’s vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth.
As a key technical leader within a passionate and accomplished team developing the digital infrastructure needed to build the road to space, you will focus on rapidly delivering trusted enterprise software solutions to the engineers, technicians, and other decision makers at Blue Origin, enabling them to operate our engines and vehicles at an increasingly rapid cadence. This is a unique opportunity to have a primary role in creating the systems used to drive technical decisions at the heart of our business.
Our Principal Engineers operate at the intersection between Enterprise Software Development and tactically focused development teams embedded within our business units. You will be responsible for delivering performant scalable tools used to enable rapidly testing our engines, showing that New Glenn is healthy for each and every flight, and increasing the cadence of New Shepard flights. You will define significant portions of the overall strategy while honing your skills as a super-user of the tools and processes vital to managing the integrated system health data for ground and flight elements in a modern connected way.
Our team demands technical depth and skill matched with humility and capability to be wrong, listen, adapt and ultimately find lasting solutions. We are looking for someone who has an approach hallmarked by rapid delivery and continuous-improvement and who is ready 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!
