Manufacturing Engineer II/III (Multiple Shifts) - Operations

• ◆Support the industrialization of new products in areas such as solar arrays, integration and test, avionics, harnessing, GNC, thermal systems, and structures.
• ◆Contribute to design for manufacturability (DFM), design for assembly (DFA), and design for test (DFT), all key to building reliable vehicles for space exploration.
• ◆Translate engineering

into robust, repeatable manufacturing processes that support Blue Origin's mission.

• ✓Collaborate closely with design engineering, quality assurance, supply chain, and production teams to accelerate building a road to space.
• ✓Develop and maintain manufacturing documentation, including work instructions, process flow diagrams, tool designs, and inspection plans.
• ✓Evaluate and implement new manufacturing technologies and methods (e.g., composites, precision machining, additive manufacturing, orbital welding, advanced assembly).
• ✓Support root cause analysis of process or product nonconformances. Develop and implement corrective actions that improve reliability and performance.
• ✓Communicate technical issues, risks, and recommendations clearly and concisely to audiences at every level, and drive them to resolution.
• ✓Ensure all work meets applicable quality and safety standards (AS9100, ISO 9001) and the rigor required for human spaceflight hardware.
• ✓Participate in process FMEAs, risk assessments, and validation of new production lines and equipment.
• ✓Find and complete opportunities for efficiency gains and cost reduction, improving our ability to achieve our mission at scale.

• ✓Bachelor of Science in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Electrical, or Aerospace Engineering (other relevant fields may apply) from an accredited university
• ✓3+ years of experience in a manufacturing, industrial, or process engineering role
• ✓1+ years of experience creating English work instructions
• ✓Demonstrated ability to explain a technical issue clearly and concisely to technical and non-technical audiences
• ✓Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum
• ✓Must be able to work second shift and have flexibility to move shifts as needed. Open to working extended hours if required.

• ✓Experience in one or more of: avionics, wire harnessing, GNC hardware, thermal systems, test, or orbital tube welding
• ✓Fiber optics experience (harnessing or GNC)
• ✓Proficiency in Creo (or a comparable CAD tool) for tooling and fixture design
• ✓Experience performing engineering analysis to support tooling, fixtures, or process development
• ✓Experience with human-rated or safety-critical hardware, and an understanding of human spaceflight rigor
• ✓Hands-on builder: personal engineering, fabrication, or home-build projects are a strong plus
• ✓Experience in high-rate assembly lines for aerospace and/or automotive
• ✓Understanding of engineering fundamentals for mechanical design and manufacturing, including working knowledge of GD&T
• ✓Experience with bills of materials and BOM reconciliation
• ✓Prior manufacturing engineering experience in aerospace or automotive
• ✓Knowledge of Lean manufacturing practices and principles
• ✓Experience with AS9100 quality standards
• ✓Specialty in depth in one or more of:
• ✓Avionics: avionics box build, integration, and test
• ✓Harnessing: wire harness design-to-build, fabrication, and test (fiber optics experience a plus)
• ✓Test: test-procedure development, test equipment, and integration and test
• ✓Thermal: thermal hardware manufacturing and process development
• ✓GNC: manufacturing and integration of guidance, navigation, and control hardware (fiber optics experience a plus)
• ✓Orbital Tube Welding (OTW): process development, qualification, and production support
