Job Opportunity At Blue Origin
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 operations of New Glenn, a single-configuration, heavy-lift orbital launch vehicle capable of routinely carrying people and payloads to low-Earth orbit, geostationary transfer orbit, cislunar, and beyond. Its first stage is fully reusable, and the vehicle was designed from the beginning to be human-capable. As part of a small, hardworking, passionate and accomplished team of experts, you will be responsible for the design, analysis, development, testing, and qualification of structural subsystems for New Glenn's second stage and payload accommodations. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your dedicated commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable spaceflight. We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required! Responsibilities include: Design, analysis, development, and testing of primary and secondary composite structures Create 3D models, detail part drawings, assemblies, installations, and interface control documents Create test plans, specifications, and other documentation for the development of flight hardware Provide technical guidance for integration Provide manufacturing and production support Support configuration development and trade studies Participate in subsystem test planning, execution, data reduction and analysis Work with cross-functional teams that are responsible for selecting materials, manufacturing processes, and suppliers to produce world class aerospace hardware Develop component specifications and manage suppliers Plan, coordinate, conduct tests, and review test data Participate in the development and purchase of new equipment and tooling Maintain and report on activity schedule, budget and technical status Coach, mentor and technically assist other engineers Identify opportunities for improvements and operational cost savings Minimum Qualifications: Minimum of a B.S. degree in engineering and 6 years of experience with aircraft, spacecraft, or launch vehicle structures Experience on recently developed aircraft or launch vehicles in one or more of the following areas: Vehicle load path distribution, and first order strength assessment and sizing Skin-stringer and sandwich panel design Material selection, compatibility and manufacturing techniques Strong understanding of composite and metallic design and analysis matters Strong mechanical design and integration skills using CATIA V5 and the CATIA composite software workbenches Experienced with fabrication of composite primary structures for aerospace Experience with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerance analysis (ASME Y14.5) Familiarity with ASME Y14.100 and Y14.41 Preferred Qualifications: Ability to apply structural mechanics principles and development designs using hand calculations and finite element analysis Experienced with any industry standard analysis codes: Ansys, Nastran, Optistruct, LS/Dyna, Hypermesh, Hypersizer Experience with Creo (Pro/E) Wildfire 5 or greater, Windchill 10 Experience with rapid development techniques for hardware Experience with fabrication utilizing automated fiber placement (AFP) and tape laying (ATL) Experience or expertise with fabrication of large-scale out-of-autoclave (O
