Brian Richardson

Engineer @Blue Origin

Cape Canaveral, FL, US

Supported New Glenn flight hardware across tank and payload accommodations operations by evaluating defects, reviewing metrology/process-capability data, and partnering with engineering and manufacturing to resolve nonconformances. • Helped drive tolerance improvements on GS2 Payload Accommodations hardware by analyzing historical defect data and recommending hole-tolerance updates aligned with actual process capability. • Reviewed mission-critical hardware prior to shipment through detailed inspections, walk-downs, and engineering coordination to ensure compliance and reduce downstream risk. • Used Material Review authority to support nonconformance and scrap-disposition workflows while balancing hardware protection, producibility, and schedule needs. • Coordinated cross-functional nonconformance meetings to improve disposition speed, ownership, and visibility across production and engineering teams.
