Blue Origin is preparing to downsize its workforce as part of a strategic effort to control costs and increase its rocket launch frequency.

The layoffs are expected to be 10% across the board, affecting up to 1400 jobs according to Blue employees. At this time, it is unclear how this action will affect employees at Blue Origin’s Rocket Park facility in Cape Canaveral.

This move comes on the heels of the long-awaited launch of Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket, a project that has seen multiple leadership changes and repeated delays. The rocket is manufactured at the company’s Cape Canaveral facility in Exploration Park, Florida, a hub for Blue Origin’s commercial launch operations.

Despite the milestone debut launch, the company is now under increasing pressure to transition from R&D to a more operationally efficient launch cadence—a challenge that CEO Dave Limp addressed at a recent industry conference.

“We have a lot of work ahead of us,” Limp said. “We need to reach a cadence where we’re launching frequently and get manufacturing up to speed. Seeing this first launch happen is a major step forward.”

The workforce reductions are part of Blue Origin’s broader plan to stay competitive in the commercial space industry. Limp, who took over as CEO last year after a tenure at Amazon, has been focused on accelerating New Glenn’s launch schedule and fulfilling approximately $10 billion in existing contracts. Streamlining the workforce appears to be one of the measures aimed at making the company more agile and efficient.

An all-hands meeting with Limp is scheduled for today, where more details on the company’s future plans and the scope of the layoffs will be discussed according to various sources in the area.
