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 the Blue Origin Engines business unit, where our focus is the design, development, manufacturing, and testing of engines and propulsion systems.

Built for multiple uses, our family of engines is powering the next generation of rockets for commercial, civil, national security, and human spaceflight.

Engineer – Production Integration RE (Level
3)
We are a diverse team of collaborators and problem solvers who are relentlessly committed to fostering inclusion, innovation, and safety. Through your attention to detail and dedication, this position will help us build a road to space to expand, explore, and enable the relocation of damaging industries to preserve Earth, humanity’s blue origin.  Join us in enabling Blue Origin’s vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth!

In this role you will join a passionate group of Responsible Engineers supporting the production and manufacturing of rocket engine components for the BE-7 Lunar Lander Engine.  This will entail troubleshooting design and manufacturing challenges to find resolutions for non-conforming hardware throughout engine development, qualification and production. You will also develop design improvements for rocket engine components and assemblies helping us transition to a flight production environment.

You will drive design for manufacturability improvements and update assembly procedures for our flight engines identified through root cause analyses, engine manufacturing, testing, and cost reduction opportunities. You will detail and release changes within CAD models/drawings using appropriate configuration management processes. To be successful in this position, you will need to be able to balance multiple technical issues. We value team members committed to continuous learning and who foster a collaborative environment.

Some components you could be responsible for include:  pressurized fluid systems, rotating hardware, machining of 3D printed components, brazed and welded assemblies, and precision assembly.
