Job summary

Blue Origin LLC in the United States is seeking a Process Engineer to join the Advanced Concepts and Enterprise Engineering (ACE) team. You will own the process and automation work turning the SCOE SPM line from installed equipment into a stable, MES-integrated manufacturing process.

The role involves hands-on commissioning, PLC/MES integration, SOP development, and sustaining engineering, collaborating with vendors and engineers to meet yield targets and transition from commissioning to

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing, Industrial, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
7+ years of experience in process engineering, manufacturing engineering, or automation/controls engineering in a high-volume production environment.
Hands-on experience with PLC programming/integration and interfacing production equipment with a Manufacturing Execution System (MES).
Experience diagnosing and resolving production equipment or process issues on the production floor, not only in a design or lab setting.

Responsibilities

Support the NPI Systems Engineer during the SPM line design, delivery, and commissioning – translating system-level requirements into implementable 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 out.
Serve as the process engineering counterpart to the MES buildout: use PLC/controls experience to stay embedded in implementation activities and ensure solar high-rate production requirements – yield tracking, traceability, in-process test data, equipment interlocks – are captured and addressed before the line goes live.
Once equipment begins arriving and running, own or support process improvement efforts: root-cause yield loss and equipment/process technical issues on the floor, and feed proven changes back into SOPs and control plans.
Partner directly with equipment vendors and Manufacturing Engineers during on-site commissioning to validate process capability against the line’s rate targets, informed by SCOE’s first-pass yield targets.
Transition from implementation support toward full sustaining and process-improvement ownership as the low-rate production line moves from commissioning to operational status and on toward full-rate production.
Flag production-consequence issues early enough to influence equipment and process specs still in development, working alongside the NPI Systems Engineer and process/GSE engineers.
