Blue Origin Manufacturing Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

Had a 30-minute call with the recruiter where we talked about my experience, and then they set up a 4-hour virtual interview, which consisted of four 1-on-1 sessions. They said I'd hear back in 'a few days,' but it actually took two weeks. The recruiter saw my resume with about 2.5 years of experience and decided to consider me for Level II, even though the job posting was for any level. I was told all four interviewers liked me, but I didn't have enough experience for Level II (they wanted 3+ years), so I didn't get an offer. It's frustrating to go through the whole interview process and take time off if they're not flexible on the experience requirement by only 6 months.

I applied for the Manufacturing Engineering Intern position a few days before the deadline back in Sept 2025. A recruiter reached out in Nov 2025 with an interview invite and gave me a choice of several dates and times in early Dec, mentioning it was first come, first served. After I replied with my availability, I got an email confirming my interview slot. The interview itself had two parts: first, a 10-minute presentation about my projects with a 5-minute Q&A, and then the rest of the time was for technical and behavioral questions. It was conducted over Teams, and the interviewers would toggle their mics, which made it hard to gauge how I was doing. The vibe was super professional and strictly question-and-answer.

The interview never actually happened because the recruiter ghosted me. A recruiter left a message with just his name. I tried calling him back, but he didn't answer, apparently Blue Origin only uses the Teams app instead of regular phone lines. Just as I was about to give up and ask the corporate help desk for help, he emailed me back asking if I was still interested. I replied saying yes, but he never got back to me.
