Blue Origin on Merritt Island seeks a Senior Mechanical Engineer to lead production and sustainment activities for GS2 tanks and structural hardware. You will own MRB dispositions, coordinate with design, manufacturing, quality, test, and operations, and drive root-cause and corrective actions on build issues.

The role requires hands-on experience on a production floor, strong communication, and the ability to work on-site with occasional off-shift coverage.

Formación

• B.S. degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field.
• 8+ years of relevant experience in production, test, or sustaining engineering for aerospace structures, launch vehicles, or aircraft.
• Hands‑on experience supporting hardware on a production floor, including direct interaction with technicians, quality, and manufacturing engineering.
• Working knowledge of metallic and composite structural design and behavior (tanks, pressure vessels, primary/secondary structure) and associated fabrication processes (forming, machining, welding, assembly).
• Experience creating, reviewing, and interpreting engineering drawings, 3D models (Creo/Windchill preferred), and work instructions.
• Familiarity with structural analysis fundamentals and failure modes (yielding, buckling, fatigue, fracture) sufficient to assess disposition and repair for metallics and composite.
• Demonstrated ability to disposition nonconformances and repairs in a fast‑paced production environment for metallic and composite structural designs
• Strong problem‑solving skills and experience leading cross‑functional root cause and corrective action efforts.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills and demonstrated ability to work cross –functionally with technicians, engineers, and leadership.
• Ability to work full‑time on site and support off‑shift or weekend coverage as required by production needs.

• Lead triage, root cause analysis, and corrective actions for build issues, escapes, and test anomalies affecting tanks and structural assemblies.
• Support daily production operations: respond to line stop issues, triage defects, review test data, and clear blockers to maintain‑ schedule while protecting safety and quality.
• Coordinate with design owners to implement Engineering Change Requests (ECRs/ECOs) for GS2 Tanks and structural hardware; Provide feedback to improve drawings, models, instructions, and specifications.
• Analyze and monitor production defects and test escapes to identify trends; drive systemic improvements to reduce rework, scrap, cycle time, and risk.
• Partner with tooling, manufacturing engineering, and quality to develop and refine tooling, fixtures, and inspection methods for tank and structural build operations.
• Contribute to design-for-manufacture and design-for-test feedback for future GS2 Tanks iterations and rate-readiness campaigns.
• Support readiness reviews, RCCAs, and anomaly boards by preparing and presenting clear technical content related to GS2 tanks and structural hardware.
• Author and maintain risk assessments, production readiness reviews, and build/test redlines to ensure configuration control and compliance with safety and quality requirements.
• Maintain and communicate status of key production risks, mitigations, and process improvements for GS2 tanks and structures.
• Provide day-to-day technical guidance to junior engineers and technicians on build intent, inspection criteria, and acceptable conditions.
