Blue Origin Careers

Blue Origin is a private aerospace manufacturer and spaceflight services company founded in 2000 by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. Headquartered in Kent, Washington, the company’s mission is to build a future where millions of people live and work in space. Blue Origin develops reusable rocket technologies designed to dramatically reduce the cost of access to space, enabling commercial space travel, scientific research, and large-scale space infrastructure.

The company is best known for its reusable New Shepard suborbital rocket used for human spaceflight and tourism, as well as the heavy-lift New Glenn orbital launch vehicle currently being developed for commercial, government, and defense missions. Blue Origin also produces advanced rocket engines such as the BE‑4, used in United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan rocket. With more than 10,000 employees across facilities in the United States, Blue Origin has become a significant player in the private space industry, competing with companies like SpaceX while collaborating with NASA on initiatives such as the Artemis program and lunar lander development.
