Blue Origin
Overview
Lunar Operations - Manufacturing Engineer II Base pay range: $89,176.00/yr - $124,846.05/yr Application Close Date: Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed. This role is part of Blue Origin Operations, which includes Manufacturing and Supply Chain support across all Blue Origin facilities. This is a pooling requisition for current and anticipated openings across multiple Lunar teams, shifts, and locations. Candidates will be matched to the right roles as needs are identified. Location, Schedule & Travel
Location: Renton, WA Shifts: A | Mon-Fri (6am-2:30pm) Relocation: Available Travel: Up to 10% for training and support Key Responsibilities
Lead the industrialization of new products in domains such as solar arrays, integration and test, avionics, and structures. Drive design for manufacturability (DFM), assembly (DFA), and test (DFT) to ensure robust, reliable vehicles and hardware. Translate engineering requirements into repeatable, high-quality manufacturing processes aligned to Blue Origin’s mission. Collaborate closely with design engineering, quality assurance, supply chain, and production teams. Develop and maintain manufacturing documentation: work instructions, process flows, tooling designs, inspection plans. Evaluate and implement new manufacturing processes and technology (e.g., composites, machining, additive manufacturing). Root cause and resolve process/product non-conformances; implement corrective actions for enhanced reliability and yield. Ensure conformance to quality and safety standards (AS9100, ISO 9001). Lead and participate in process FMEAs, risk assessments, and new line/equipment validation. Identify and deliver on opportunities for efficiency gains and cost reduction, enabling scalable manufacturing. Team Focus & Domain Expertise
The Lunar Operations Core Components Manufacturing Engineering team enables the development and production of critical lunar hardware, translating complex requirements into manufacturable processes with innovative tooling, equipment, and systems. Specialties (Pooled Requisition)
Heat Exchangers, Compressors, Cryo Coolers Pumps Valves Avionics Hardware Tooling, Fixtures, Ground Support Equipment (GSE) You may be aligned to one or more of these specialties based on experience, interest, and business need. Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor of Science in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Electrical, or Aerospace Engineering (or other relevant fields) from an accredited university. 3+ years of manufacturing, industrial, or process engineering experience. 1+ years of experience creating English work instructions. Must be able to work second shift and have flexibility to move shifts as needed; ability to work extended hours if required. Preferred Qualifications
Manufacturing engineering background in aerospace or other high-reliability environments. Hands-on fabrication/assembly experience in relevant specialties: heat exchangers, compressors, cryo coolers, pumps, valves, avionics hardware, or tooling/GSE. Understanding of engineering fundamentals for mechanical design and manufacturing including GD&T. Experience with bill-of-materials (BOM) management and reconciliation. Knowledge of Lean manufacturing practices and principles. Familiarity with AS9100 and ISO 9001 standards. Experience designing/building/commissioning tooling and fixtures for manufacturing, assembly, or test. Understanding of fabrication processes: machining, welding, composites, and assembly. Experience with manufacturing automation, digital work instructions, or advanced metrology (CMM, laser scanning). Proficiency with PLM/MRP systems (e.g., Teamcenter, Windchill). Experience with New Product Introduction (NPI) or transition to production in aerospace. Proven track record authoring detailed work instructions and process documentation. Lean Six Sigma Greenbelt, PMP certification, or EVMS experience. Experience designing, commissioning, and troubleshooting tooling, jigs, fixtures, molds, and automated tooling. Working knowledge of project management methodologies and cross-discipline team collaboration. Strong written and verbal communication skills for working across teams, sites, and suppliers. An attitude of world-class mission assurance and dedication to quality. Compensation & Other Details
