Shire 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, test, manufacturing, and quality organizations, supporting team effectiveness and coordination. Assignments can range from supporting procurement activities, to coordinating component development & testing, and supporting engine subsystem integration activities. In early project phases, with the oversight of your Integrated Project Team Lead (IPTL), you may support the definition and tracking of project schedule to achieve overall program goals and component requirements. In later phases, you will help coordinate internal and external stakeholders, oversee changes, and help track the resolution to 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 support a passionate team of contributors and experts serving a Combustion Devices IPT. In this role, and in partnership with Blue Engines' design engineers and manufacturing engineers, you will support and track activities tied to the development and manufacturing of 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. With guidance from your IPTL, you will contribute to tracking 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. In addition, you may interface with vendors or small teams to set requirements and track supplier developments for procuring hardware, tooling and assemblies, including coordinating with vendors and Blue through technical issues. As a Project Engineer, 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 some direction and coordinate teams in the 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: Maintain and track project schedule to deliver combustion devices components and sub-assemblies in support of development, qualification and flight hardware, and test Prioritize, track, and report progress in support of assembly and acceptance testing, e.g., engineering release, work orders, production control and work center activities Create and manage a line of balance for hardware and key equipment/tooling to support upcoming builds and tests Manage and maintain a hardware usage log; active tracking of location, usage history, maintenance/rework history, and life of integration hardware With the help of the IPTL, partner with manufacturing engineering to contribute to development of detailed procedures and help establish a roadmap to rate production
