Fluids Systems Engineer II - Lunar Permanence

Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed.

About the role

This role is part of the Lunar Permanence business unit, which develops Blue Origin’s Blue Moon landers and related products. To further Blue Origin's mission of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth, we are building sustainable infrastructure for our transport of crew and cargo from Earth to the lunar surface. The first MK1 Lunar Lander, christened “Endurance,” will be the largest and most complex vehicle ever to land on the moon. Our second MK1 will deliver NASA’s VIPER rover to the lunar south pole. As part of the MK1 Fluids Systems Engineering team, you will apply your systems engineering, fluids, and propulsion expertise, using natural leadership and organizational skills to positively impact Blue Origin’s bold missions.
