Job summary

Blue Origin seeks a Liquid Systems Responsible Engineer with cryogenic fluids experience to support hardware ownership and manufacturing processes for cryogenic propellant management components on the Blue Moon line. You will balance design and shop-floor execution under guidance, with relocation and travel up to 25%.

The role requires a BS in a related field and 5+ years in cryogenic or manufacturing contexts, plus hands-on experience with valves, manifolds, regulators, and instrumentation.

Qualifications

• B.S. in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Physics, or related technical field.
• 5+ years of experience in cryogenic fluids and mechanical systems/components, and/or in a manufacturing, industrial, or process engineering role.
• Experience supporting the development, integration, or certification of aerospace systems for flight.
• Hands-on experience with fluid/gas components: solenoid valves, directional valves, manifolds, regulators, pressure vessels, and instrumentation.
• Experience contributing to DFM/DFA input on hardware designs and translating requirements into manufacturing processes.
• Experience with Cryogenic Fluid Management techniques and technologies.
• Experience creating clear, English-language work instructions and manufacturing documentation.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment spanning design support and shop floor execution.
• Strong verbal, written, and graphical communication skills.
• Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident, or lawfully admitted into the U.S.

Responsibilities

• Support hardware ownership of cryogenic propellant management components—defining requirements, design, and verification.
• Collaborate with the Zero-G Propellant Management IPT and senior engineers on complex problems.
• Support trade studies, design/integration, first-order analysis, and supplier interface for fluid/gas hardware.
• Track internal/external procurements and hardware dependencies to support schedules.
• Participate in technical exchange meetings on cryogenic hardware development.
• Support DFM/DFA/DFT reviews and flag manufacturability concerns during design phases.
• Translate engineering requirements into manufacturing processes for cryogenic fluid hardware.
• Develop and maintain manufacturing documentation: work instructions, process flow diagrams, tool designs, and inspection plans.
• Support root cause analysis and corrective action for manufacturing non-conformances; contribute to MRB dispositions.
• Evaluate manufacturing methods for cryogenic fluid systems and recommend improvements.
• Participate in process FMEAs, risk assessments, and validation activities for new tooling/lines as hardware scales.
• Ensure manufacturing processes align with AS9100/ISO 9001 quality and safety standards.
• Collaborate with Manufacturing, Quality, and Supply Chain to identify efficiency and cost reductions.
