Application close date:

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! 

• Lead reliability acceptance and commissioning activities for new equipment, tooling, and ground systems — defining pass/fail criteria and driving resolution of open items before assets enter service.

• Develop preventive maintenance plans, criticality assessments, and spare parts strategies for new assets, partnering with operations and maintenance teams to ensure they are executable from day one.

• Own asset setup in Maximo or equivalent CMMS — ensuring new equipment enters the system with complete, accurate data including PM plans, criticality ratings, and spares linkage.

• Coordinate factory acceptance testing (FAT) and site acceptance testing (SAT) activities with vendors, design teams, and operations, tracking open items through closure.

• Build and maintain commissioning documentation, acceptance records, and asset introduction packages that give operations teams everything they need to sustain new equipment in service.

• Track asset introduction pipeline across multiple concurrent projects, surfacing risks to schedule and readiness before they become problems.

• Spend significant time on the floor and in the field observing commissioning activities, engaging with operations and maintenance stakeholders, and closing out open items.

• B.S. degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Systems, or related engineering field.

• Experience in reliability, maintenance engineering, or operations in a manufacturing, aerospace, or high-consequence environment.

• Experience leading equipment commissioning, reliability acceptance testing, or factory/site acceptance testing (FAT/SAT) activities.

• Experience developing preventive maintenance plans, criticality assessments, and spare parts strategies for complex mechanical, fluids, or electrical systems.

• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, fluid schematics, and electrical circuit diagrams.

• Must be available to support off-shift or weekend work during critical builds or commissioning activities.

• Must be willing to travel 25% of the time.

• Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

• Experience with Maximo, SAP, or other CMMS/ERP platforms — specifically asset setup, PM plan creation, and spare parts management.

• Experience in launch, spaceflight, aerospace production, or other high-consequence, high-complexity operations.

• Experience developing or improving maintenance standards, commissioning procedures, or acceptance test plans.

• Familiarity with reliability engineering tools such as FMEA, criticality analysis, or reliability centered maintenance (RCM).

• Experience coordinating across vendor, design, and operations teams to drive asset readiness.
