Work in Washington Veterans Jobs

At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We're working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. Join our diverse team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! This role is part of the Blue Origin Engines business unit, where our focus is the design, development, manufacturing and testing of engines and propulsion systems. Built for multiple uses, our family of engines is powering the next generation of rockets for commercial, civil, national security and human spaceflight. As part of a hardworking team of diverse engineers, you will work at the intersection of program management, engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, and quality organizations, improving team effectiveness and coordination, and ensuring that the right people are working together to solve problems and deliver results on time. Assignments can range from supporting engine subsystem integration activities to component development and testing coordination. In early project phases, you may define project scope and schedule to achieve overall program goals and component requirements. In later phases, you will coordinate internal and external stakeholders, manage changes, and resolve unexpected problems in support of engine or subsystem builds, subsequent integration into test facilities and launch vehicles, and test activities. As a Project Engineer within the Engines Design Office, you will lead a passionate team of contributors and experts supporting the BE-7 Combustion Devices IPT. In this role, you will partner with Blue Engines' design engineers and manufacturing engineers in developing and manufacturing engine combustion device components. Potential hardware could include exciters, igniters, injectors, heat exchangers, combustion chambers, nozzles and pre-burners used in high pressure and cryogenic applications. You will contribute to driving design, manufacturing, test and production of combustion devices and assemblies, and help define and refine best practices to increase the efficiency of our project execution and manufacturing approaches and processes. You may work or interface with vendors or small teams to define requirements and manage supplier developments for procuring hardware and assemblies, including working with vendors through technical issues. As the primary point of contact, you must enjoy solving communication and organizational problems, earning trust, and improving the overall performance of all teams involved. We are seeking a self-motivated and highly organized individual who can work with minimal direction and coordinate teams in the successful execution of engineering integration activities. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your dedicated commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable spaceflight. Responsibilities include but are not limited to: Develop and/or maintain project plans to deliver combustion devices components in support of development, qualification and flight hardware and test Develop schedule and budget; manage and report progress Manage, prioritize, and report progress of engineering release, work orders, production control and work center activities Create and manage line of balance for hardware and tooling Partner with cross-functional team to develop detailed procedures and establish product roadmaps Assess programmatic impact of engineering change requests Coordinate with procurement, internal and external stakeholders to ensure that hardware/tooling priorities are well understood and are actively managed to support need dates Manage external vendors and lead technical discussions Coordinate and drive engineering changes with upstream and downstream stakeholders Respond t
