Job Description:

We are a diverse team of collaborators, doers, and problem-solvers who are relentlessly committed to a culture of safety. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable space flight. Join us in lowering the cost of access to space and enabling Blue Origin's vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth. As part of a diverse and hardworking team of technicians and engineers, you will build human rated orbital launch vehicles. You will define the production process, setup new work centers, specify and order equipment, author work instructions, troubleshoot and resolve non-conformances, and lead the integration of major assemblies. Our team builds the forward and aft modules for the New Glenn 1st and 2nd stages, as well as other items, for our downstream customer - Stage Integration. Although a rocket is basically a flying fuel tank, we believe that the most interesting parts are in the forward and aft modules. These are what we build. We make the fuel tank fly. This is a boots-on-the-ground, hands-on-hardware, shipside Manufacturing Engineering role. This is for the tinkers, the makers, the creatives, the pioneers, the problem solvers. This is for those who own their role as if they are going to fly on the vehicle. This is for the person who puts their name on the line. We are building a road to space, and a rocket that approximates the size of the Saturn V. The path is long, with challenges every step of the way. Opportunities to do great things, make a difference, and leave a lasting legacy are limited only by your ability and desire to grasp them. Here, if you're bored, you're not doing it right. On our team, we are resilient, agile, committed to overcoming obstacles, reliable, professional, growing, ingenious, cooperative, tenacious, and diligent. We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight.
