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!
This position is part of the Space Systems Development (SSD) business unit. SSD is Blue
Origin's advanced development arm dedicated to developing mission architectures, creating,
and feeding new technologies into our existing offerings, building our next generation of
leaders, and commercializing new platforms that fuel Blue Origin's growth and further its
mission. Our work scope is broad and deep, forging the path toward our vision of millions of
people living and working in space.
We believe that to preserve our planet, humanity must expand beyond our limits, venturing into
space to explore and discover new energy and material resources.
In pursuit of this vision, we invite you to join our dynamic Space Resources Program.
We're dedicated to developing and demonstrating In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU)
technologies for the Moon and beyond. If our mission resonates with you and you are eager to
contribute, you could be the perfect addition to our inclusive, open-minded, and
forward-thinking team.
As part of a hardworking team of diverse specialists, technicians, and engineers, as a Sr.
Engineer , you will play a crucial role in all phases of our Molten Regolith Electrolysis (MRE)
reactor development, including designing experimental test campaigns, cell prototype design,
and electrochemical testing of existing reactors .
In this hands-on role, you will work entirely onsite at our Los Angeles Facility with the Space
Resources Program team. We are seeking a dynamic Sr. R&D Engineer to join our hands-on
Technology Development team. You will play a crucial role in our MRE reactor process
development from concept to prototype operation and subsystem testing.
