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. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and 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.
We are looking for someone 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!
This role supports the development and operations of New Glenn, a single-configuration, heavy-liftorbital launch vehicle capable ofroutinelycarrying people and payloads to low-Earth orbit, geostationary transfer orbit, cislunar,and beyond.Its first stage is fully reusable, and the vehicle was designedfrom the beginningto be human-capable.
As part of a hardworking team of technicians, you will assemble, repair, and evaluate battery packs for various spaceflight systems. As part of a small, hard-working, and accomplished team of experts, you will be integral in the development, qualification, and production of battery power distribution products in support of New Glenn mission. Work in the battery development lab requires a high level of proficiency in the technical aspects of the work such as pack assembly, terminating a variety of electrical connections on mechanical assemblies, and performing various assembly soldering operations. Once complete you will perform different tests to stress and qualify new designs.
Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
Building a variety of different battery packs and electrical test set ups, often rapidly shift focus from project to project, requiring a flexible mentality.
Often assisting with new designs; working directly with engineering to determine standard processes and to vet new designs for improvement opportunities prior to production.
Provide feedback on new assemblies, identifying needed improvements to existing designs and improving or updating outdated designs.
Serve internal and external customers, across multiple systems and multiple platforms. Each Technician is a valued part of the chain that supports safe, affordable, and regular human spaceflight.
A focus on safety, collaboration and quality allows us to work together to determine the best path forward, balancing speed and safety to create high quality components that will propel future astronauts and payloads into space for the improvement of humanity.
