Blue Origin Operations Engineer
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 Blue Origin Operations, which is comprised of Integrated Supply Chain, Test Operations, Safety, Quality, and Mission Assurance. This includes Manufacturing and Supply Chain support across all Blue Origin facilities. We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and dedication to quality to positively impact the development of rocket hardware and safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required! Responsibilities: Develop high-quality production, development, test, integration, and manufacturing tooling for the Blue Engines and New Glenn business units. Capable of integrating concepts and principles of mechanical design and analysis of several projects in a fast-paced environment -- projects will vary in size and scale. Ability to interpret and apply sound design and drafting standards (ASME Y14.5) when creating drawings Handle a wide range of technical design challenges related to all @types of assembly fixtures, material handlers, rotisseries, test fixtures, structural weldments, environmental chambers, and custom machines. Close collaboration with component designers, manufacturing engineers, and integration engineering to achieve the best possible cradle-to-grave metrics (safety, cost, quality, cycle time, delivery, reliability, life, and maintenance/refurbishment) Manage projects, including vendor selection, fabrication, inspection, equipment installation, proof testing, and commissioning of custom tooling. Set, implement, and maintain schedules and budgets to ensure project completion. Facilitate effective and collaborative communication by fostering creativity and using team member strengths. The ability to work in a team environment is a must. All designs are the collective effort of the team. Qualifications: A successful candidate will typically have a B.S. degree in any Engineering subject area from an accredited institution. 4+ years of work or project experience with design, build, and commissioning of tooling and fixtures for manufacturing, assembly, and test. Experience using CAD and FEA-based analysis software (Creo and ANSYS Workbench preferred) for structural applications. Desired: Experience with FEM and complex structural analysis in addition to the ability to perform hand calculations including the creation of freebody diagrams. Strong expertise in design for manufacturability (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA) including experience taking products from development design to rate production. Proven understanding of common manufacturing materials, GD&T, and tolerance/stack-up analysis. Proven understanding of common manufacturing processes and machines including CNC machining, manual mills and lathes, welding, sheet-metal bending, lifting/rigging, assembly, inspection, etc. Familiarity with industry standards, such as ASME BTH-1, ACI 318, JSC-65289, and NASA SP-8077. Experience with custom machine design: motors, actuators, linear rails/actuators, pneumatics, hydraulics, bearings, etc. Experience with Creo and Windchill CAD/PDM systems. Experience with ANSYS Workbench, FEMAP Pre/Post processing, NASTRAN Solver, NX Advance Simulation, ProE Simulate/Mechanica, etc. Compensation Range for: WA applicants is $96,310.00-$134,833.65 Other site ranges may differ Culture Statement Don't meet all des
