Lead Solar Process Integration Engineer – SCOE

Blue Origin LLC; United States; Remote; USD 120,000 - 150,000; Full time

Benefits offered by this job

Relocation provided

Travel up to 25%

Job summary

Blue Origin LLC is seeking an experienced Process Engineering professional to own the SPM production line from commissioning through steady-state production, interfacing PLC/controls with MES, and driving SOP development.

You will collaborate with NPI Systems and GSE engineers, lead process improvement, and ensure traceability, data capture, and robust control plans as the line scales to high-rate production, with relocation support and travel up to 25% as needed.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing, Industrial, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering or related.
• 7+ years of experience in process/manufacturing engineering or automation in a high-volume production environment.
• Hands-on PLC programming/integration and interfacing production equipment with MES.
• Experience developing SOPs/work instructions/control plans for equipment and processes in active production.
• Experience diagnosing and resolving production equipment or process issues on the production floor.

Responsibilities

• Support the NPI Systems Engineer during design, delivery, and commissioning of the SPM line, translating system requirements into equipment configurations and process parameters.
• Develop and own SOPs and work instructions for the SPM line from cell intake through PVA build as equipment arrives and processes are proven.
• Serve as the process engineering counterpart to MES buildout, ensuring data capture for yield tracking, traceability, and in-process test data before going live.
• Own or support process improvement efforts: root-cause yield loss and equipment/process issues on the floor and feed changes back into SOPs and control plans.
• Partner with equipment vendors and Manufacturing Engineers during on-site commissioning to validate process capability against line targets.
• Transition from implementation to sustaining and process-improvement ownership as the line moves to full-rate production.
• Flag production-consequence issues early to influence specs while developing.
