Zusammenfassung

Blue Origin is seeking an experienced Mechanical Engineer to lead the mechanical design of automated manufacturing equipment. You will own from concept through commissioning, collaborating across disciplines to deliver scalable production systems.

You will apply mechanics, kinematics, and materials science to solve novel challenges, drive design trade-offs, and ensure robust fabrication and assembly. This role anchors safety and quality in a fast-paced environment.

Qualifikationen

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field.
• Minimum 6 years of experience in from-scratch design, assembly, and commissioning of custom automated tooling or manufacturing equipment.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD for mechanical design (CREO, SolidWorks, or equivalent).
• Working knowledge of control systems, robotics, and automated industrial equipment, machines, and processes.
• Demonstrated ability to create, interpret, and review mechanical drawings and engineering documentation.
• Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident, or legally admitted into the U.S.

Aufgaben

• Collaborate with applications engineers on conceptual automated manufacturing equipment and provide feedback to product design teams to improve Design for Manufacturability.
• Lead mechanical design of custom automated manufacturing equipment using 3D CAD.
• Design custom automation equipment including robotic end‑of‑arm tooling, material handling systems, fixtures, weldments, machine frames, safety guarding, and production cell layouts.
• Apply engineering first principles to analyze system behavior, evaluate design trade‑offs, and develop sound mechanical solutions.
• Drive iterative development cycles; balance performance, cost, and schedule constraints.
• Integrate mechanical, electronic, pneumatic, and related components into unified systems.
• Lead equipment commissioning, startup, and production ramp‑up; resolve mechanical issues during installation and debug.
• Create and deliver mechanical documentation packages including BOMs, drawings, spare parts lists, and assembly procedures.
• Provide technical input to project schedules and budgets throughout the project lifecycle.
