Application close date: 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 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. 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 small, passionate, and accomplished team of diverse specialists, technicians, and engineers, you'll contribute to the development and implementation of thermal protection systems (TPS) materials and processes. You will leverage your knowledge and expertise to refine processes, support design for manufacturing and assembly, conduct testing, and transition these processes to the TPS manufacturing unit. You will also troubleshoot issues related to the production, integration, and refurbishment of thermal protection systems. You will share in the team's impact on all aspects of reusable launch vehicles. We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and dedication to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required! Responsibilities: Supports on-site TPS activities, including production standup, integration, and refurbishment.
