Internship Electrical Engineering Jobs in Trinity, AL

Application close date:

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 supports the development and manufacturing of electromechanical ground support equipment and space-based energy systems. The successful candidate will bring deep expertise in both mechanical and electrical engineering disciplines to manufacture complex rotating machinery and power conversion hardware from design intent to functional, qualified assemblies. A key aspect of this role is providing Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) feedback to the design engineering team, ensuring producibility and assembly efficiency are built into the product from the earliest stages of development. This role also requires a strong understanding of end-to-end manufacturing process flows and the ability to evaluate, select, and specify production equipment needed to manufacture electromechanical hardware.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Translating engineering intent and drawings into fully functional electromechanical hardware ready for test, qualification, and deployment by crafting manufacturing bill of materials and work instructions.
• Providing DFMA feedback to design engineering throughout the product development lifecycle, influencing part geometry, tolerances, material selection, and assembly sequences to optimize manufacturability.
• Defining end-to-end manufacturing process flows from raw material through final assembly and test, identifying critical path operations and process interdependencies.
• Evaluating, selecting, and specifying manufacturing equipment - including winding machines, balancing equipment, CNC machinery, test stands, and specialized tooling - to establish production capability for new and evolving product lines.
• Developing manufacturing processes for assemblies involving high-speed rotating components, stator/rotor integration, winding installation, insulation systems, and precision electrical-mechanical interfaces.
• Applying strong mechanical engineering fundamentals - tolerance stack-ups, fits, thermal management, structural assembly, and precision alignment - alongside electrical engineering knowledge of motor/machine construction.
• Providing shipside/lineside support on the manufacturing floor for both mechanical and electrical assembly operations.
• Non-conformance report (NCR) generation, management, and closure addressing both mechanical dimensional conformance and electrical performance requirements.
• Supporting introduction of new products by crafting manufacturing plan artifacts including build plans, duration estimates, production schedules, and tool lists.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electromechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related discipline.
• Strong electrical engineering fundamentals including motor construction, winding patterns, insulation systems, conductor termination, and high-voltage assembly practices.
• 8+ years of experience in a manufacturing or production engineering capacity, including internships
• Direct manufacturing experience with electric motors or similar rotating electrical machines (alternators, dynamometers, traction motors, or equivalent).
• Demonstrated experience defining manufacturing process flows and selecting production equipment for electromechanical hardware.
• Strong mechanical engineering fundamentals including GD&T, tolerance analysis, precision fits, bearing installation, rotor balancing, and structural assembly.
• Ability to read and interpret both mechanical drawings (GD&T) and electrical drawings (schematics, wiring diagrams, interconnect drawings).
• Strong written, personal, technical, and software skills (CAD, Issue Tracking, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, etc.).

Preferred Qualifications:

• Hands-on experience in an electric motor or rotating electrical machine manufacturing facility.
• Experience with stator winding, rotor assembly, and final machine integration..
• Experience standing up new production lines or manufacturing cells, including equipment procurement and layout.
• Familiarity with rotor balancing, vibration analysis, and precision alignment of rotating assemblies.
