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 team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight!
This role is part of Blue Origin Operations, which is comprised of Integrated Supply Chain, Test Operations, Safety, Quality, and Mission Assurance. This includes Manufacturing and Supply Chain support across all Blue Origin facilities.
Job Profile:
Engineer - Manufacturing II
Blue Origin is seeking an experienced Manufacturing Engineer II to lead the fabrication, integration, and optimization of cryogenic fluid systems and related propellant infrastructure for our launch vehicles and test operations. In this role, you will translate complex engineering requirements into manufacturable hardware for high-pressure fluid systems, cryogenic propellant management, and ground support equipment. Embodying our Passion for Mission , you will develop specialized fabrication processes, improve quality controls, and implement best practices for welding, joining, and testing of precision fluid systems operating in extreme conditions.
The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience with cryogenic systems
(LOX, LH2, LNG), pressure vessels, or aerospace fluid applications, with a proven track record of bringing critical flight hardware from concept to implementation. With a humble and open-minded approach, you will collaborate across Blue teams, embracing our fail, learn, iterate culture to think big and be bold in delivering reliable fluid systems essential to Blue Origin's mission of building a road to space, with No Gravity Assist – only earned success through engineering excellence.
