Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! This role is part of Advanced Concepts and Enterprise Engineering (ACE), supporting Blue Origin’s mission of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. The team fosters innovation and drives engineering workflows of the future, shared solutions and standards, simplicity and lower costs, and manufacturable design. This role is part of Advanced Concepts and Enterprise Engineering (ACE), supporting Blue Origin’s mission of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. The team fosters innovation and drives engineering workflows of the future, shared solutions and standards, simplicity and lower costs, and manufacturable design. As part of a passionate and accomplished team of aerospace experts, you will be responsible for implementing automation needs of the customers. This position requires a strong and demonstrated background in hydraulic components and systems. Additional experience in pneumatic and electronic systems, as well as a solid understanding of aerospace components—particularly the ability to interpret and work from engineering schematics, P&IDs, and technical drawings is essential. An understanding of fluid power principles, high-pressure hydraulic operations, and system-level integration is critical. Responsibilities may include assembling and testing hydraulic/pneumatic components, creating and updating P&IDs, and supporting engineers with component testing and automation development. You will also play a key role in training and assisting others in proper component repair, assembly, and testing methods. Additional duties include supporting engineers and technicians with work orders, technical documentation, troubleshooting deficient components, and maintaining clean, safe lab practices. Performing hydraulic, pneumatic, and cryogenic testing is required. Some light travel may be necessary to provide training and gather automation ideas from other locations. We seek people who are passionate about space and possess a strong desire to continuously learn and improve.

Responsibilities

• Precision assembling valves, check valves, servo valves, actuators, and other hydraulic/pneumatic components
• Performing pressure testing in excess of 6,000 psi
• Executing advanced hydraulic testing and tuning with a strong understanding of fluid power theory (CFPS/CFPT preferred)
• Setting hydraulic/pneumatic null
• Testing with cryogen (LN2, GN2)
• Measuring test pressures, strokes, temperatures, flows, positions, and loads
• Quickly identify various types of fittings and know their proper uses
• Quickly identify unsafe practices and make corrections
• Prepare test setups for engineers
• Operate pressurized hydraulic/pneumatic flow test benches and portable test stations
• Read and interpret schematics, P&IDs (Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams), engineering drawings, work orders, and technical orders
• Inspect components for damage, hidden damage, and other latent flaws
• Perform continuity checks and inspections of components
• Use flowmeters, transducers, multimeters, oscilloscopes, pressure gauges, and other test devices to interpret the test results of a test article
• Hydraulic/pneumatic/mechanical troubleshooting
• Assembling and testing some components to oxygen-clean requirements
• Use standard tooling and measuring devices such as calipers, micrometers, bore gauges, surface plates, safety-wire and lock-wire tooling, seal installation tools, and other specialty assembly tools
• Working with production lines to facilitate better practices, identify bottlenecks/concerns, and implement automation
• Stainless steel tube bending, flaring, and swaging
• Working with pressures up to 15,000 psi
• Working with charged vessels
• Acceptance Test Procedures, Factory Acceptance Testing, Customer Acceptance Testing
