Customer Deployment Engineer - Master Scheduler

Application close date: 08/18/2026 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 the Blue Origin Engines business unit, where our focus is the design, development, manufacturing, and testing of engines and propulsion systems. Built for multiple uses, our family of engines is powering the next generation of rockets for commercial, civil, national security, and human spaceflight. Blue Origin's team builds the world's most powerful and reliable rocket engines. Behind every successful hot-fire, delivery, and flight is a schedule that keeps hardware, people, and facilities moving in lockstep. As our Program Master Scheduler, you'll be the architect of that rhythm — owning the master schedule and production plan that turns ambitious engine programs into on-time reality. Special Mentions Travel expected up to 15% of the time Relocation provided Responsibilities include but are not limited to: Develop, maintain, and own the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) and master production plan spanning Test, Production, Development, and Repairs. Translate program milestones and Integrated Master Plans (IMP) into resource-loaded, executable schedules with clear critical paths. Partner cross-functionally with Program Management, Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Test, and Quality to synchronize inputs and drive schedule feasibility. Perform critical path analysis, schedule risk analysis (SRA), and what-if scenario modeling to identify and mitigate bottlenecks before they impact delivery. Balance supply and demand across build, test, development, and repair workflows — optimizing capacity, labor, tooling, test assets, and long-lead materials. Establish and track schedule performance metrics; report status, variances, and recovery plans to program leadership. Continuously update schedules to reflect engineering changes, material availability, and production progress. Develop and improve scheduling software tools and automation to enhance data integrity, reporting, and cross-program visibility. Champion scheduling best practices, standards, and continuous-improvement initiatives across the engine portfolio.

Proficiency in scripting or software development (e.g., Python, SQL, Power Automate) to build custom scheduling tools and automation.
