Blue Origin Operations Manufacturing Engineer
Application close date: Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed. 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. In this role you will be responsible for working closely with engineering design and company leadership to support all manufacturing efforts and equipment related to building various spaceflight systems. This includes owning the manufacturing and assembly work that is performed on a launch vehicle module, investigating and dispositioning non-conformances (NCs), as well as delivery and commissioning of the various sub-systems in support of programmatic budgets and schedules. Special Mentions: Relocation provided Travel expected up to 5% of the time Shifts available: Regular shift Monday - Friday (5/8 schedule) Interviews will include a technical assessment Responsibilities include but are not limited to: Provide direct support to production team in fast-paced environment by performing any/all the following: Support the manufacturing floor in assembly and installation, compliance to engineering requirements, discrepancy resolution, and component acceptance testing. Perform hands-on engineering and liaison role between our design, test, operations, and manufacturing customers. Experience with at least one of the following processes: Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), Orbital Tube Welding (OTW), Laser Beam Welding (LBW), Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM), and Brazing. Experience interpreting NDT/NDE results (such as UT, RT, PT). Lead troubleshooting efforts, review NDT results, and dispositioning of non-conforming (NC) weld-related issues - preferably on addressing cracks, spatter, inclusion, undercut, incomplete penetration/fusion, etc. type of defects - through detailed work instructions. Knowledgeable in Aluminum, Titanium, corrosion, Fusion Welding or metallic materials. Lead efforts in isolating NC parts and assemblies. Lead efforts to identify and resolve Root Cause of vehicle non-conformances through Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and Root Cause Corrective Actions (RCCA) Lead DFMA & PFMEA analysis at part, assembly, and system level to improve build sequence, manufacturing processes, layout development and feedback loop between design, build, and test. Support maintenance activities for fielded vehicles as required leading up to a launch. Provide technical expertise on structural subsystems with collaboration with other subsystem Manufacturing Engineers and Design Engineers. Supports products through design and operational gated reviews by evaluating and aiding in the development of required artifacts. Provide design for manufacturability review of vehicle designs, and make recommendations to improve quality, simplify operations and reduce cost. Take ownership of product quality, establishing procedures and processes to support continuous improvement. Collaborate with system design team to ensure process improvements are implemented through Engineering Change Requests (ECR) to improve manufacturability and reduce NC's. Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor of Science degree or higher in mechanical, aerospace, or industrial engineering or other relevant field. 15+ years of relevant experience. Relevant internship experience and/or relevant extracurricular activities.
