Blue Origin is implementing significant cuts to its management structure, including reductions in engineering, R&D, and program management roles. CEO Bob Limp indicated that these tough decisions are integral to setting the company up for future successes, with ambitious goals such as lunar landings and increased engine production this year. Moreover, the company has already imposed a hiring freeze and laid off many contractors in previous months. The adjustments come as Jeff Bezos seeks to position Blue Origin to be financially sustainable, ideally without continuing to depend on external funding from his Amazon wealth.
The cuts will streamline management and help Blue Origin achieve goals in lunar missions and engine production while ensuring financial sustainability.
Limp states that laying off some positions across engineering and project management will help guide the company toward future success.
Despite major personnel cuts, Bezos maintains a vision for Blue Origin’s viability without solely relying on his wealth from Amazon.
