Résumé du poste

Blue Origin is seeking a Fluid Systems Engineer III for Valve Sustainment in the Greater Seattle area. You will serve as the primary technical contact between design engineers and the manufacturing value stream, ensuring production-ready valve components and leading design-for-manufacturability reviews.

The role emphasizes high-pressure, cryogenic, and stressed hardware with a strong focus on safety and quality.

Qualifications

• Minimum of a B.S. degree in Manufacturing, Industrial, Mechanical, Aerospace engineering, or a related technical field.
• 5+ years of experience in a manufacturing or design engineering environment, supporting the production of complex mechanical or fluid systems.
• Solid understanding of fluid components such as valves, regulators, and fittings, as well as core concepts in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.
• Practical knowledge of common manufacturing processes, fabrication methods, and quality control for machined components.
• Experience interpreting GD&T (ASME Y14.5) and reviewing engineering drawings.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with a demonstrated ability to build trust and work effectively across different teams.
• Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to a culture of inclusion.

Responsabilités

• Production & Manufacturing Support: act as the first point of contact for production, providing hands-on floor support to troubleshoot and resolve manufacturing challenges.
• Disposition non-conforming hardware, interpreting engineering models, drawings, and specifications to make clear and effective assessments.
• Serve as a key resource for producibility, collaborating with cross-functional teams to optimize processes and designs, and navigating competing interests to find the best path forward.
• Design Improvement & Sustaining Engineering: investigate and identify opportunities to improve our legacy designs for manufacturability, cost, and reliability.
• Develop and implement design improvements and update assembly and test procedures based on root cause analysis and production feedback.
• Drive design for manufacturability (DFM) reviews for both internally-built and supplier hardware.
• Analysis & Documentation: utilize 3D CAD and FEA tools to analyze existing designs and proposed modifications.
• Deliver completed design updates using best drafting practices per ASME Y14.5 GD&T standards.
• Create clear and well-documented analysis reports to substantiate design changes.
