Technician - Integration Engineering Verified today

About this role

This position is part of Blue Origin's Advanced Concepts and Enterprise Engineering (ACE) team. You will implement automation needs for customers, working with hydraulic components and systems at pressures up to 15,000 psi. You must have strong background in hydraulic systems, with additional experience in pneumatic and electronic systems. You'll interpret engineering schematics, P&IDs, and technical drawings, and understand fluid power principles and system-level integration.

What you will do

• Precision assemble valves, check valves, servo valves, actuators, and other hydraulic/pneumatic components
• Perform pressure testing in excess of 6,000 psi, up to 15,000 psi with charged vessels
• Execute advanced hydraulic testing and tuning with strong understanding of fluid power theory
• Set hydraulic/pneumatic null and test with cryogen (LN2, GN2)
• Measure test pressures, strokes, temperatures, flows, positions, and loads
• Prepare test setups for engineers and operate pressurized hydraulic/pneumatic flow test benches and portable test stations
• Read and interpret schematics, P&IDs, engineering drawings, work orders, and technical orders
• Inspect components for damage and latent flaws; perform continuity checks
• Use flowmeters, transducers, multimeters, oscilloscopes, pressure gauges, and other test devices
• Troubleshoot hydraulic, pneumatic, and mechanical systems
• Assemble and test components to oxygen-clean requirements
• Use standard tooling: calipers, micrometers, bore gauges, safety-wire and lock-wire tooling, seal installation tools
• Work with production lines to identify bottlenecks and implement automation
• Perform stainless steel tube bending, flaring, and swaging
• Execute Acceptance Test Procedures and Factory/Customer Acceptance Testing
• Install Helicoils, seals, and O-rings
• Support training and assist others in component repair, assembly, and testing
• Maintain clean, safe lab practices and identify unsafe practices
• Work with DAQ systems, National Instruments, LabVIEW, Dewesoft, PLCs, and automation systems

Requirements

• 5+ years in a related field
• Development Lab and Production Lab experience, or equivalent
• Hands-on experience developing and executing work instructions
• Strong written and computer skills
• Understanding of AS-9100 requirements and audits
• U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or lawfully admitted refugee/asylee

Desired experience

• 8+ years in aircraft hydraulic/pneumatic or components labs
• FAA Part 145 Repair Station experience
• Advanced hydraulic diagnostics or fluid power certification coursework (CFPS/CFPT)
• Basic CAD use
• Understanding of clean room environments and precision cleaning
• Understanding of oxygen-level cleaning
• Familiarity with aerospace testing and quality processes (AS9100, FOD Control, Lean, 5S)

Compensation

Base pay range for Washington applicants: $24.74 to $34.63 per hour. Other site ranges may differ.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, basic and supplemental life insurance
• Paid parental leave, short and long-term disability
• 401(k) with company match up to 5%
• Education Support Program
• Stock options for regular employees (20+ hours/week)
• Paid time off: up to four weeks per year based on scheduled hours, plus up to 14 company-paid holidays
• Performance-based bonuses (eligibility subject to change)

Additional information

Some light travel may be necessary to provide training and gather automation ideas from other locations. Background check required for all positions. DBIDS background check may be required if role requires access to military installations.
