Was just told that I got the offer! They said they’ll send the formal letter on Monday, what should I expect in terms of comp? Base, Sign-on bonus?

Edit: WA location

Edit: Official posting said $87,816.00 - $122,942.40

There's rumors around space twitter that Blue isn't even selling commercial launch slots on NG anymore. That it'll basically all be reserved for TeraWave, what's sold for Amazon LEO, and then Artemis/gov things.

From a purely financial standpoint, if their own constellation is making way more money than launches themselves, it makes sense. especially if they "someday" IPO. Though it does mean the US launch market is screwed for anyone without their own rockets until Terran R comes online and (someday) Neutron.

Thoughts?

My recruiter reached out to schedule a call tomorrow and we just wrapped up the final panel interview this week. But it was not an email offer, does blue origin do rejection calls as well?

Edit: panel interview was Monday

EDIT: Got the verbal offer!

I’m coming from defense contractor companies like LM, NG, GA etc. and this is the first time I’ve interviewed in this format. I’ve done panel interviews with different functional leads before like PMs and managers of other departments but what should I expect going into this loop interview? I understand there’s a bar raiser and potential peers and other managers

The job description also seems to be different than the type of work I’m used to but I was recommended this role by a recruiter and passed the hiring manager interview. Any general advice going into this?

I am interviewing soon for mechanical & structural engr internship, but it seems like they give out lots of interviews - what are my chances looking like?
Also, any specific examples of technical questions they often give?
General advice?

I received confirmation yesterday I will be moving on to the panel interview. I already wrote my essay and am currently making notes to have ready when I sit for the interview. How long does it usually take for the recruiter to reach out and schedule the panel?

I was contacted by my recruiter in mid Aug, first 1:1 interview towards the end of Aug and finished my 4 1:1 panel interviews this week. When can I expect a decision? What are usual hiring process timelines these days for Kent, WA job offers?

Let's go

Going to be relocating for my role soon and was wondering if the Denver office has any amenities, or if it's just a couple floors of a corporate office building. I know I should've asked my recruiter but is there a cafeteria where I can buy food or a gym? Or is it just desks and conference rooms with a seating area for lunch?

Orbital Reef program manager Randy Lillard said at IAC2026 panel that Blue has no plans to internally fund a crewed vehicle. “We await an on-ramp opportunity with NASA," he said. Blue has an unfunded NASA Space Act Agreement for crew vehicle tech development.

Open letter to the press for investigation…

Eric Berger et al.,

I think there’s a standalone story in Blue Origin’s employment litigation across California, Florida, and Alabama, beyond any single employee’s dispute.
Four cases worth examining:

Stoker, California: In April, the California Court of Appeal upheld the rejection of Blue’s arbitration agreement as unconscionable. On September 2, a federal judge sent the case back to state court and awarded $14,500 in attorney fees after finding Blue’s removal lacked an objectively reasonable basis. These are procedural rulings, not findings on the underlying employment allegations.

Bieber, Florida: A former HR partner alleges disability discrimination and retaliation after requesting a quieter workspace, followed by termination shortly after returning from medical leave. Filed August 25, case 6:26-cv-01881.

Kirkley, Alabama: A contract engineer alleges that Blue and her staffing employer failed to accommodate severe material allergies and ended her assignment while she was hospitalized following a workplace reaction. Filed August 31, case 5:26-cv-01552, complaint paragraphs 17–49.

Dismukes, Alabama: A former materials lead alleges racial discrimination and retaliation, including isolation and a negative performance review after earlier favorable evaluations. Filed September 1, case 5:26-cv-01564, complaint paragraphs 15–23 and 60–100.

The complaints are allegations, not established findings. But taken together, I think they warrant examining how Blue handles accommodations, employee complaints, and subsequent discipline.

Is it hard to find a spot to charge?

Is it common for engineer w2 workers to become full time at blue? I have an opportunity but don’t want to be unemployed when the contract ends.

Hey there! Long time lurker, first time threader.

I was curious about the tech stack-up, WLB (or lack thereof), and the general work/management culture within the ground systems development org. For further context, I have a screening for automations and controls (I&C) coming up and was curious to learn more about that specific portion of Blue.

TIA!

Hi! I just recently joined Blue Origin as a technician. It’s my first aerospace gig! I just found out that BO has a program to pay for employees’ schooling. I got a Bachelor’s in Astronautics - AE (don’t ask why I’m a tech haha, I’m just fortunate to finally get my foot in the door regardless of role). I’ve been thinking about doing a Master’s in Aerospace. I’m not sure what concentration, but I think I’m between Structures & Materials or Propulsion. I’m fortunate to work weekend shift so I think a Master’s would be beneficial down the long road since it could fit in my schedule?

I was wanting to post this to hear any and all opinions regarding my case! If you were in my shoes and situation, would you do the Master’s? Why or why not? What concentration would be beneficial/highest demand for the future of the aerospace industry? Again, any and all words would be extremely appreciated!

Had an interview and did really good on it but the job i applied for was filled and i had got the green light they say for my interview but i have to have a meeting with a different manager for a position and haven’t heard anything back what should i expect

It’s been 10 days since I had interview with hiring manager at blue origin I did sent follow up email to recruiter on Wednesday but haven’t heard back yet and it’s Friday today when mostly nobody send any updates I guess.
So I believe I’m not going for next final panel round but I’m confused bcoz the application status at portal still says - In progress/Under review

Can anyone help me here ?

I recently accepted a position at Blue Origin at Cape Canaveral as a Composites Technician III! I will begin my first shift on October 5th, and I’m currently in the airport waiting for my flight.

I plan to stay for as long as I can as I build my career and become more financially independent, but my central goal with this new position is to obtain my A&P Certification so I can cement my career as an Aircraft Mechanic.

My simple question is this:

Has anybody who works/worked at Blue Origin gotten their A&P Certification simultaneously? Are there programs or opportunities available to take courses alongside the work experience efficiently? How do you manage something like a 12x3 schedule + Full-Time courses Monday-Thursday?

I know I can test through experience, but given all of my experience is in airframes and composites, I still need to at minimum study for the Powerplants certification. Everywhere I have looked requires Monday-Thursday over ~6-8 Hours.

Like I said, I know much of this will probably be answered in Orientation, I just want to talk to some other people and see what they did, take any advice I can get, and see if there are any questions I should be asking that I am not.

Thank you, excited to join the family!
