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! We are a diverse team of collaborators, doers, and problem-solvers who are relentlessly committed to a culture of safety. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable space flight. Join us in lowering the cost of access to space and enabling Blue Origin's vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth. As part of a small, passionate, and accomplished team of experts, you will be responsible for developing new rocket engine turbomachinery component manufacturing and assembly processes. As a Manufacturing Engineer, you will translate engineering intent, drawings, and configurations into fully functional turbomachinery hardware ready for test, qualification, and flight. Throughout the manufacturing process, you will also identify, develop, and deploy methods to improve quality, reduce cost, and optimize the build sequence and schedules of turbopumps and rotating equipment. As an integral member of the team, you will conduct DFMA and PFMEA studies to strengthen the feedback loop between design, build, and test and accelerate the pace of rocket engine development. Additional responsibilities include: Develop new turbomachinery component manufacturing processes Drive and enhance turbomachinery assembly processes Translate engineering intent, drawings, and configurations into fully functional hardware Define how to prepare turbopumps for test, qualification, and flight Identify, develop, and deploy new manufacturing methods (or refine existing) to improve quality, reduce cost, and optimize build schedule Conduct DFMA and PFMEA studies to strengthen the feedback loop between design, build, and test Develop manufacturing work instructions to clearly define the following manufacturing process: receiving inspection, fabrication, assembly, test, integration, and refurbishment Closely manage manufacturing and build sequences, and support schedule development of hardware throughout the entire manufacturing process Perform engineering drawing review and provide final approval for manufacturing Develop process control measures and evaluation through statistical analysis Define and support repair and rework activities of turbomachinery hardware Design, procure, install, and integrate custom manufacturing equipment Interface with external suppliers and manufacturing partners to ensure that hardware and equipment is manufactured, processed, packaged, and delivered properly to support engine builds Support and perform root cause analyses when non-conformances and escapes are identified and deploy corrective actions Design proper material handling and packaging to protect hardware throughout the build and test process Manage hardware configuration and maintain pedigree throughout the entire build and test process We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required Qualifications: Bachelor of Science in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Aerospace Engineering (other relevant fields may apply) 2+ years of direct turbomachinery manufacturing and manufacturing engineering experience in any industry (rocket engines, jet engines, land-based gas turbines, oil and gas, automotive, etc) Engineering fundamentals for mechanical design and manufacturing Direct and extensive experience manufacturing turbomachinery hardware (i.e. castings, forgings, additivel
