Descripción de la vacante

Blue Origin is seeking a Mechanical/Manufacturing Engineer to design tooling, fixtures, and GSE for lunar vehicle production. You will collaborate with design, manufacturing, and quality teams to develop new build processes and ensure manufacturability and reliability across the lifecycle.

You will plan engineering demonstrators, support fabrication and testing, and drive DFX through proactive tooling definition. Relocation may be provided; U.S. citizenship or permanent residency is required.

Formación

• B.S. degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Manufacturing Engineering, or related technical discipline, or equivalent relevant experience.
• 3+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering, tooling design, GSE design, production support, or hardware development, preferably in aerospace or another highly regulated industry.
• Demonstrated experience designing, developing, releasing, and implementing tooling, assembly fixtures, handling equipment, test support equipment, or other complex GSE for mechanical assemblies.
• Proficiency with 3D CAD tools, engineering design fundamentals, GD&T, tolerance analysis, design for manufacturability/assembly, and configuration-controlled documentation.
• Extensive experience supporting production operations, including working with technicians, resolving nonconformances, improving processes, and ensuring compliance with engineering, safety, quality, and regulatory requirements.
• Demonstrated experience using hand‑calculations for structural analysis of tooling and GSE strength, stability, and failure modes.
• Experience using issue‑tracking tools and Microsoft Office applications used to develop, release, and manage engineering documentation and production support tasks.
• The ideal candidate will possess excellent communication and cross‑functional collaboration skills, a high degree of independence, a strong sense of urgency, and the ability to thrive in a highly dynamic and sometimes ambiguous environment.
• Flexibility to support critical milestones, which may require extended hours.
• Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

Responsabilidades

• Design tooling, fixtures, handling equipment, and Ground Support Equipment supporting efficient manufacturing, assembly, integration, and test of flight hardware, with an emphasis on modularity, usability, and rapid implementation.
• Work directly with cross-functional teams, including design engineering, manufacturing engineering, technicians, quality, and operations, to develop new or revised build processes, tooling concepts, and concepts of operations.
• Plan for and support builds of engineering demonstrators, test articles, and prototype hardware, providing hands‑on support during fabrication, assembly, and testing to validate manufacturing approaches.
• Drive Design for Excellence (DFX) principles, conduct producibility assessments, support trade studies, and develop roadmaps to bridge manufacturing technology gaps.
• Proactively drive the definition, development, and refinement of tooling and GSE requirements to enable rapid design, fabrication, deployment, and iteration.
• Develop, release, and maintain engineering documentation, including CAD models, drawings, specifications, procedures, and other artifacts required to support tooling and production implementation.
• Support tooling fabrication, validation, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient production of lunar vehicle hardware.
