Manufacturing Engineer – Blue Ring Cable Harness Shop

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. At Blue Origin, 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.

As a part of the Operations business unit supporting Blue National Security, you will focus on the development of satellite systems aimed at solving two of the most compelling challenges in spaceflight today: space infrastructure and increasing mobility on-orbit. As a member of a hardworking team of engineers and specialists, you will be responsible for the design, manufacturing, and testing of Blue Ring—a spacecraft capable of supporting a variety of missions from medium Earth orbit to the cislunar region.

The Blue Ring spacecraft provides unprecedented delta-V capabilities, enabling customers to maneuver payloads of more than 3,000 kg to a variety of Earth orbits. Additionally, Blue Ring offers end-to-end services, including hosting, transportation, refueling, data relay, logistics, and "in-space" edge computing capabilities.

As a Harness Fabrication Manufacturing Engineer, you will translate engineering intent, drawings, and configurations into operational steps and processes to produce fully functional cable harness hardware ponsibilities include supporting harness builds, translating engineering definitions into manufacturing work instructions, and developing and qualifying new fabrication processes and technology. Successful candidates will lead DFMA studies to strengthen the feedback loop between design, build, and test, accelerating product development.

If you share our vision, thrive in a dynamic startup environment, excel on integrated cross-functional teams of experienced and skilled individuals, continuously seek out opportunities to learn and improve, and do not allow title or job description to limit the depth or breadth of your contributions, then we would love to hear from you.

• Translate engineering intent, wire harness drawings, schematics, and configurations into fully functional cable harness hardware.
• Support the Cable Harness Shop on the manufacturing floor during fabrication and integration, ensuring compliance with engineering requirements, discrepancy resolution, and acceptance testing.
• Perform in a hands-on engineering role and serve as a liaison between elements of design, test, manufacturing, and operations.
• Develop manufacturing work instructions to clearly define the following manufacturing processes: receiving inspection, wire preparation, termination, fabrication, assembly, integration, continuity/hi-pot/automated wire testing, and refurbishment.
• Lead, mentor, and support harness fabrication technicians on the shop floor; provide real-time technical guidance and resolve production issues to maintain schedule and quality.
• Operate, program, and troubleshoot automated wire testing equipment; evaluate test results and disposition anomalies accordingly.
• Disposition and investigate root causes of discrepancies; implement preventative and corrective actions.
• Create in-built redlines and recommend engineering changes to improve harness design and producibility.
• Perform engineering drawing review and provide final approval for manufacturing.
• Conduct Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) studies to strengthen the feedback loop between design, build, and test.
• Drive Design for Manufacturability and Assembly (DFMA) across the harness…
