Sr. Electromechanical Assembly & Test Technician

Senior TechnicianAt 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 sits in Blue Origin Operations. The Vertical Integration Strategy and Execution team stands up new in-house manufacturing capability for critical hardware.You will build, integrate, and test complex electromechanical assemblies in a development manufacturing facility, spanning precision mechanical assembly, industrial electrical build, high-current terminations, panel build, and electrical acceptance test. These lines are new, so instructions and tooling are still changing and you will often be the first to run a job. As a senior technician, you will work with limited direction, take on the hardest hardware, hold the quality bar, and train the crew around you. Expect varied shifts or overtime as the schedule requires.Responsibilities include but are not limited to:Electrical build and testFabricating and installing power and control wiring per wiring diagrams, schematics, and cable schedules, including crimping, ferruling, lugging, soldering, and labelingTerminating high-current conductors and fabricating, bending, and installing bus bar assemblies, with bolted joints torqued to specificationApplying insulation systems, including taping, sleeving, resin or varnish impregnation, potting, and encapsulationBuilding and wiring control, instrumentation, and protection panels, and routing cable in conduit, tray, and flex with proper strain relief, grounding, and shield terminationsSetting up and running electrical and electronics tests per written procedures, including test article hookup, instrumentation installation, and verifying the setup before energizingPerforming electrical verification and acceptance testing, including continuity and ringout, low-resistance measurement, insulation resistance (megger), hipot or dielectric withstand, polarity verification, and functional checkout, recording results against pass/fail criteriaTroubleshooting failures to the assembly, board, component, or wiring level and performing approved rework including component-level soldering, using proper ESD practicesOperating bench and stand test equipment such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, current clamps, insulation testers, dielectric withstand testers, and data acquisition systemsMechanical assembly and integrationPerforming precision mechanical assembly, including fits and clearances, shimming, alignment, press and interference fits, and fasteners torqued to specificationIntegrating electrical and mechanical sub-assemblies into higher-level units through final assembly, closeout, and preparation for acceptance testOperating shop and material handling equipment including overhead cranes and rigging, and performing dimensional and electrical inspection with calipers, micrometers, dial indicators, DMMs, megohmmeters, and low-resistance ohmmetersPreparing and verifying kits to the bill of materials, confirming material traceability, and helping ready new stations for productionQuality and safetyFollowing work instructions and test procedures precisely and recording completed steps and in-process data as requiredEscalating problems found at the bench, including incorrect instructions, drawing discrepancies, tooling issues, and quality, safety, or material concerns, and supporting discrepancy dispositionTraining and checking the work of less-experienced technicians, and working safely around energized and high-energy equipment including lockout/tagout and arc flash PPEMinimum Qualifications:High school diploma or GEDHands-on experience building complex electromechanical, electrical, or mechanical assemblies, gained through manufacturing, fabrication, industrial maintenance, panel build, automotive, marine, military, or a related tradeAble to work from engineering drawings, wiring diagrams, schematics, and written procedures, and record results accuratelyProficient with hand tools, power tools, and precision measurement tools, and able to use a multimeter, with interest in learning bench test equipmentExperience assembling to specification, including torque and fastener proceduresAble to work with limited direction, troubleshoot build and test issues, escalate clearly, and help or train less-experienced teammatesAble to lift up to 50 lbs and stand for extended periods in a shop floor environmentWe encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every qualification listed. If you have relevant hands-on experience and a strong desire to learn, we want to hear from you.Preferred Qualifications:Experience building or wiring high-current electrical assemblies in a regulated or high-reliability environment such as aerospace, defense, solar, marine, rail, or precision industrial manufacturingBench testing, checkout, or troubleshooting of electronic assemblies, PCBAs, or control hardware, including component-level soldering and board reworkExecuting formal acceptance test procedures and documenting results, including insulation resistance, hipot or dielectric withstand, or low-resistance testingInsulation systems and processes, including Class F/H materials, taping and sleeving, and resin or varnish impregnationSensor and instrumentation installation and checkout, or PLC and control system I/O troubleshootingMilitary or commercial electronics technician background, or formal electrical or electronics training through apprenticeship, technical school, or military programCertification to IPC/WHMA-A-620, IPC-A-610, J-STD-001, or an equivalent workmanship standard, plus ESD control training (ANSI/ESD S20.20) and NFPA 70E arc flash trainingExperience in a new or start-up production environment where processes, tooling, and documentation were still being developed, working to documented quality standards including configuration control and traceabilityCulture StatementDon't meet all desired requirements? Studies have shown that some people are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single desired qualification. At Blue Origin, we are dedicated to building an authentic workplace, so if you're excited about this role but your past experience doesn't align perfectly with every desired qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway.
