WORKING AT BLUE ORIGIN

At Blue Origin, it’s our genuine(ˈjenyo͞oin) passion(ˈpaSHən) for space exploration that makes an incredibly(inˈkredəblē) difficult job equally exhilarating(igˈziləˌrātiNG). We’re looking for people who share that passion.

Our hiring bar is exceptionally(ikˈsepSHənəlē) high, and we want to keep our team small and collaborative(kəˈlabərətiv). You have to want to work in an environment where the people occupying(ˈäkyəˌpī) each and every role are among the most technically(ˈteknik(ə)lē) gifted in their area(ˈe(ə)rēə) of expertise(-ˈtēs,ˌekspərˈtēz). You should be at the top of your field, remarkably(riˈmärkəbəl) dedicated, and excited about shaping our future in space.

We’re also working on real hardware—so building and testing should be in your blood, too. Our engineering, manufacturing(ˌmanyəˈfakCHər), and business teams work in a 260,000 sq.(skwe(ə)r) ft.(feet) facility(fəˈsilətē) on 26 acres(ˈākər) in Kent(kent), Washington—just 20 minutes south of Seattle. We do our engine(ˈenjən) and flight testing at our range in West Texas(ˈteksəs) (two hours east of El Paso(el ˈpasō)) at the world’s only privately(ˈprīvitlē) owned and operated launch site.

INTERNSHIPS

Our interns participate(pärˈtisəˌpāt) in real engineering design(dəˈzīn) projects related to the development and construction of human spaceflight systems. Interns work directly with our engineers to contribute to project goals in the fields of mechanical(məˈkanikəl) design, fluids(ˈflo͞oid), aerodynamics(ˌe(ə)rōdīˈnamiks), rocket propulsion(prəˈpəlSHən), flight controls(kənˈtrōl), electronics(ilekˈträniks,ˌēlek-), avionics(ˌāvēˈäniks), enterprise(ˈentərˌprīz) software, flight software, composites(käm-,kəmˈpäzət), chemistry(ˈkeməstrē), human safety, and systems engineering. We also offer opportunities in business development and finance(fəˈnans,ˈfīnans). Working directly with our team, students gain(gān) real-life experience that allows them to apply classroom learning to real aerospace(ˈe(ə)rōˌspās) challenges(ˈCHalənj).
