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.

This role is part of the Safety, Quality, and Mission Assurance team. This team is focused on monitoring and assessing processes that guide Blue Origin's design, manufacturing, and operations, ensuring system safety engineering, environmental health, and safety, product integrity, and continuous improvement processes.

As part of a small team of engineers, you will develop reliability engineering processes and products for the design of launch vehicles, spacecraft, and supporting systems. You must have a passion for human spaceflight and astronaut safety, and a capacity to work collaboratively or independently on sophisticated and exciting new problems. As a Reliability Engineer at Blue Origin, you will work with systems engineering teams to verify compliance with safety and reliability requirements including verification by analysis or test. The Safety and Mission Assurance team works on the full range of Blue Origin products and systems, from launch vehicles to spacecraft and landers. You will assess reliability allocations and trades, perform fault tree analysis, build reliability block diagrams, produce hazard analysis, and perform failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA/FMECA). Experience with electronics reliability predictions, and reliability test design are a bonus. You will help engineers identify areas of opportunity for design improvements, minimize risk, and increase the probability of mission success. If you enjoy being challenged, working on multiple aspects of large systems, and using all the tools in your belt to tackle real problems limiting access to human spaceflight, come join us!

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.

Minimum Qualifications

• Minimum of a B.S. degree in aerospace engineering or related field
• Experience with performing reliability analyses including Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analyses (FMECA), and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, fluid schematics, and electrical circuit diagrams
• Strong safety and mission assurance fundamentals
• Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal skills, and ability to communicate technical information to non-technical partners
• Ability to form relationships with experts from varying engineering fields and provide constructive feedback about safety and reliability concerns
• Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to our inclusive culture.
