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 Lunar exploration and will require your commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable Lunar surface exploration. 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 diverse and hardworking team of engineers and specialists, you will be responsible for developing and supporting the Lunar Lander assembly processes. As a Manufacturing Engineer, you will translate engineering intent, drawings, and configurations into fully functional 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 build sequence and schedules. You will create, interpret, and modify work instructions and routings to convey procedures to technicians and trigger material planning.

We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe Lunar Transportation. Passion for our mission and vision is required!
