About The Position

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. As part of a hardworking team of manufacturing planners, we provide technical expertise, leadership skills, and dedication to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Your responsibilities will include authoring detailed work instructions in support of factory operations and contributing to hands on assistance at the shop floor utilizing schedules, parts, tools, engineering designs and processes for a robust, reproducible and repeatable build plan that provides configuration control to the product. You will also ensure that engineering requirements are incorporated into the build from a hands-on technical perspective, enable production data to be properly recorded, and disposition non-conformances to keep production at rate. Our planners also provide manufacturing shop assistance, ship side support and build plan support as well as support the development of build plans at the cell and factory level. If you share our passions and vision, thrive in a dynamic startup environment, excel with integrated multi-functional teams of individuals, are experienced and skilled in several relevant technologies (even if perhaps not in the aerospace industry), and continuously seek out opportunities to learn and improve, then we would love to hear from you!
