Role Overview

You will directly contribute to developing unique prototypes supporting Blue Origin's mission. This program designs, builds, and tests hardware in turbomachinery and fluid mechanical systems.

As a Product Integration Engineer, you will own the planning and deployment of novel large-scale systems. You will partner closely with systems engineering, design, analysis, test, manufacturing, supply chain, and operations to deliver, install, and activate systems on time, within scope, and to quality and safety expectations.

This role is highly cross-functional and requires both strong technical acumen and disciplined project management.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain integrated resource loaded master schedules, milestones, and critical paths for installing and activating complex systems.
• Define scope, deliverables, and success criteria in partnership with technical leads and operations.
• Create first-of-a-kind AI based tools necessary to drive, track, and communicate installation, MRO, and MRP.
• Work with design, test, manufacturing, and supply chain teams to ensure on-time delivery of end items.
• Identify and establish outside contracting support capable of meeting high standards of workmanship and compliance with local codes.
• Ensure configuration control and accurate traceability of hardware throughout product life cycle.
• Own program status reporting (schedule, cost, risk) to leadership and stakeholders.
• Provide clear, concise, and data-driven updates; escalate issues early with options and recommendations.
• Partner with supply chain, manufacturing, and quality to ensure long-lead items, critical components, and key processes are planned and executed.

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, physics, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 10+ years of experience in program or project management for multi-disciplinary engineering efforts.
• Demonstrated experience managing integrated schedules (e.g., Primavera, MS Project, or equivalent) and leading cross-functional teams.
• Strong understanding of product development lifecycles, from concept through design, test, production, and operations.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, requirements, and test data, and to engage credibly with technical subject matter experts.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including experience presenting status and trade studies to leadership.
• Must be a U.S. person (U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident) due to access to controlled data and technology.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's degree in engineering, systems engineering, or a related technical field.
• Experience with complex fluids system development (liquid propulsion, turbomachinery, combustion devices, cryogenic systems, etc.).
• Experience executing programs in a development and production environment (prototype to rate production).
• Experience planning, building, and activating large scale systems.
• Experience with Earned Value Management (EVM), cost/schedule integration, and/or formal risk management frameworks.
• Prior experience as a technical lead, IPT lead, or systems engineer on complex hardware programs.
• Experience operating in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment with evolving requirements and aggressive schedules.

Additional Requirements
