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 Blue Origin Operations, which is comprised of Integrated Supply Chain, Test Operations, Safety, Quality, and Mission Assurance. This includes Manufacturing and Supply Chain support across all Blue Origin facilities.

OVERVIEW
The Advanced Engines Program develops and operates next-generation propulsion systems that are central to Blue Origin’s mission of building a road to space for the benefit of Earth. Our small, highly skilled team owns the operation and maintenance of test facilities and the integration of Advanced Engines test articles across multiple systems.

As a Technician on this team, you will play a direct, hands-on role in building and operating complex test infrastructure, executing integration activities, and maintaining safe, reliable facility performance. Your work will directly influence test readiness, schedule execution, and the success of development milestones in a fast-paced, highly technical environment.

Facility Operations & Maintenance

Operate test facility systems, including pneumatic, hydraulic, and propellant distribution systems, under established procedures and supervision.
Perform preventive and corrective maintenance on valves, piping, pumps, regulators, actuators, and related support equipment.
Inspect, troubleshoot, and repair facility components to maintain readiness and reliability.
Update maintenance records, logs, and configuration documentation accurately and in a timely manner.

Test Article Integration & Support

Assist in the installation, alignment, and removal of component test articles, fixtures, and support hardware.

Instrumentation & Controls

Install, calibrate, and troubleshoot instrumentation such as pressure transducers, thermocouples, flow meters, and strain gauges.
Assist with sensor wiring, routing, and termination, including connector assembly and basic electrical diagnostics (continuity checks, voltage checks).
Support the integration and verification of control and data acquisition systems per engineering instructions.

Fabrication, Construction & Welding

Assist with layout, fabrication, and installation of piping, structural supports, brackets, and test fixtures.
Perform basic machining and fabrication tasks (cutting, grinding, drilling, threading, fitting) using common shop tools.
Support welding activities (e.g., preparation, fit-up, post-weld clean-up); candidates with welding certifications may perform structural or process piping welds as appropriate.
Read and interpret engineering drawings, P&IDs, and work instructions to ensure correct build and installation.

Safety, Quality & Continuous Improvement

Follow all safety procedures, lockout/tagout practices, and hazard controls for high-pressure, cryogenic, and hazardous fluid systems.
