From Blue Origin's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed.
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.
Blue Origin is scaling launch operations across our current and future launch sites. The ground systems fluids team designs, builds, and activates the cryogenic propellant, high-pressure pneumatic, water deluge, and environmental conditioning systems that let a launch vehicle reach the pad, load, and fly. This role leads that team.
You will be both a technical leader and a people leader. On the technical side, you will own the quality of the fluid system designs coming out of your group. P&IDs, network models, thermal analyses, component selections, procedures, test plans. If it ships from the fluids team, you have reviewed it and stand behind it.
On the people side, you will grow a group of engineers who are collectively responsible for tens of millions of dollars of pad hardware operating at cryogenic temperatures, at high pressures, in a marine coastal environment, with a launch schedule that does not soften.
This is a hands-on manager job. You will still work in the details. The people on your team have to know that you can do the work they are doing and that you will back their judgment.
Attributes We Are Looking For Extreme ownership. When your team ships something with a problem, that is your problem. When your team ships something excellent, credit belongs to them.
Bias for the field. You have loaded cryogens, chased a leak in a nitrogen skid, or stood behind a pressure test. You are not a design manager who has only reviewed drawings.
Sharp technical judgment. You can look at a P&ID and see the failure mode. You can look at a network model and see the assumption that is going to bite. You review with rigor.
Comfort with hard problems that do not come with instructions. Launch pad fluids does not have a textbook. The right answer is often a first-principles derivation done under time pressure.
Direct communication. You give clear feedback. You escalate risk with numbers and calm, not drama. You disagree with peers without making it personal.
Team builder. You have hired, developed, and (when necessary) exited engineers. You know how to grow a junior engineer into a technical leader.
