Full Job Description
Application close date: Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed. 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! 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. ### At Blue Origin, we believe that access to space changes everything — and we're not waiting around for it to happen. We're building it. Right now. In Space Coast, Florida Project Horizon is our purpose-built upper stage manufacturing facility for New Glenn's GS2 — one of the most ambitious aerospace manufacturing programs in the world. We're standing up a brand-new production system from the ground up, hiring the team that will build it, and delivering our first article unit on a schedule that doesn't have room for hesitation. The **Manager of Final Integration** leads the production team responsible for the most visible and consequential step in the entire manufacturing flow — the vertical integration of the complete GS2 upper stage in Horizon's High Bay. Every sub-assembly, every system, every component that has been fabricated, welded, coated, and tested upstream converges in your work center. You are the last production leader to touch the vehicle before it ships. We're looking for someone who leads with optimism, performs well under pressure, and knows how to bring out the best in the people around them. Someone who is genuinely motivated by the mission, brings strong resolve when the work gets hard, and creates an environment where talented people do the best work of their careers. **Special Mention
