As part of a diverse and hardworking team of engineers, you will be responsible for building a team of valve designers for the Blue Origin Lunar Lander Environmental Control and Life Support (ECLS) flight hardware.

The ECLS System is composed of the essential hardware to allow humans to safely inhabit space. ECLSS circulates air around the vehicle picking up carbon dioxide, humidity and trace contaminants to be scrubbed and provides oxygen for breathing.

The internal cabin pressure is maintained and monitored. Clean drinking water is provided to the crew. The ECLS system also monitors for emergencies such as rapid depressurization and fire and counteracts them.

You will use your technical know-how and design experience to develop hardware that is optimized to the important task of keeping humans alive on the moon.

You will report to the integrated product lead for Environmental Controls and Life Support and be imbedded on a team with responsible engineers, analysts, technicians, manufacturing engineers and others all working towards the same goal.

You will work directly with NASA and our Blue Origin business units as part of the Human Landing System (HLS) Sustaining Lunar Development (SLD) program.

You will play a key role in developing the MK2 lunar transportation system that will return humans to the Moon and extend human presence permanently beyond the bounds of Earth!
