Technician - Test & Launch Ops Sr.
About the role
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 seeking a Senior Test Technician to execute testing on aerospace hardware and to help shape how that testing gets done. This role is for a hands-on technician who wants more than a work order to follow. You will join early, during development and qualification, learning the hardware, the tests, and the equipment alongside the engineers defining them, and you will have real influence over the procedures that you and your peers will run for years afterward.
Responsibilities
- Execute development, qualification, and production test procedures on flight and non-flight hardware, following the written procedure exactly and documenting what actually happened.
- Set up and break down test configurations, including harness installation, instrumentation, fixturing, and chamber loading and unloading.
- Operate environmental test equipment under procedure, including thermal chambers, vibration tables, and vacuum chambers.
- Perform electrical test and checkout, including continuity, isolation, dielectric withstand, and powered functional tests.
- Handle flight hardware under ESD and contamination control, including clean room protocol where required.
- Record test data and complete work order buyoffs accurately and as the work happens, not afterward.
