Blue Origin
Overview
At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We’re developing reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. This role is part of Blue Origin Operations, which includes Manufacturing and Supply Chain support across all Blue Origin facilities. We are looking for someone to apply 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
Design high-quality production, development, test, integration, and manufacturing tooling for the Blue Engines, Lunar and New Glenn business units. Capable of integrating concepts and principles of mechanical design and analysis across multiple projects in a fast-paced environment; projects will vary in size and scale. Interpret and apply design and drafting standards (ASME Y14.5) when creating drawings. Handle a wide range of technical design challenges related to assembly fixtures, material handlers, rotisseries, test fixtures, structural weldments, environmental chambers, and custom machines. Collaborate with component designers, manufacturing engineers, and integration engineering to achieve 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. Foster effective and collaborative communication by leveraging team strengths and creativity. Work effectively in a team environment; all designs are the result of team collaboration. Qualifications
B.S. degree in any Engineering subject area from an accredited institution. 7+ 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 plus hand calculations and free-body diagrams. Design for manufacturability (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA) experience, including taking products from development design to rate production. Understanding of common manufacturing materials, GD&T, and tolerance/stack-up analysis. Familiarity with manufacturing processes and machines (CNC, mills/lathes, welding, sheet-metal bending, lifting/rigging, assembly, inspection). Knowledge of industry standards (ASME BTH-1, ACI 318, AISC, NASA SP-8077). Experience with custom machine design: motors, actuators, linear rails/actuators, pneumatics, hydraulics, bearings, etc. Experience with Creo and Windchill; NX and Teamcenter. Experience with analysis packages such as ANSYS Workbench, FEMAP, NASTRAN, NX Advance Simulation. Familiarity with related design and analysis tools and processes. Culture and Inclusion
Don’t meet all desired requirements? We encourage you to apply anyway. We are dedicated to building an authentic workplace and value diverse perspectives that contribute to our mission. Export Control and Background
Applicants must be U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident, or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. Background checks are required for all positions; additional checks may apply for certain profiles and roles. Benefits and Employment Details
Benefits include medical, dental, vision, life insurance, paid parental leave, disability coverage, 401(k) with company match up to 5%, and an Education Support Program. Paid time off: up to four weeks per year plus up to 14 company-paid holidays. Discretionary bonus program based on individual contributions and company results. Eligibility for benefits varies by role; check with your recruiter for specifics. Equal Employment Opportunity
