Washington Staffing, Seattle, Washington, us, 98127
Job Title: New Glenn Umbilical Hardware Engineer
Application close date: Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed. 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, you will be responsible for managing the full design lifecycle of New Glenn Umbilical hardware. This role will particularly focus on new hardware design and new product integration. A strong foundation in engineering fundamentals is required for success. This includes experience using design tools like 3D models, 2D drawings, tolerance stack, GD&T, and analysis software, practical experience supporting manufacturing, and experience verifying requirements have been met through test, and data analysis activities. Umbilicals systems include both pressurized fluids and structural components so experience in one or both of those, ideally in the aerospace industry, is also necessary for success. We are looking for a self-starter who is eager to learn and support active production of our launch vehicle. Join us in lowering the cost of access to space to enable Blue's vision of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. Responsibilities include but are not limited to: Cradle to grave ownership of new design solutions for launch vehicle structural/fluid Umbilicals assemblies Create design artifacts including 3D models, detail part drawings, assembly drawings, installation drawings, and interface control documents Coordinate with integrated product teams to execute manufacturing, production, integration, and test activities while providing on-site support as needed Perform or facilitate hand calculation and/or FEM analyses of new designs Identify and support test activities necessary to verify designs Prepare technical content and present to internal customers Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or equivalent 5+ years of proven designing aerospace or equivalent type mechanical system elements within aircraft, spacecraft, or launch vehicles using metallic and/or composite materials, manufacturing processes, and assembly methods Experience leading product designs from concept through new product integration Working knowledge of aerospace materials and treatments Able to work at a detailed part design level and understand higher level system impacts Proficient in 3D CAD programs (Creo preferred) Experienced with GD&T (ASME Y14.5) Experienced with manufacturing, fabrication, integration processes, and quality control techniques relative to aerospace hardware Proficient in stack-ups, linear and radial and types of fits Experience with static and dynamic seals and spring seal design Experience with one or more cryogenic, hydraulic, or pneumatic fluid systems or component design Experience with secondary structure design Experience in bolted joint design Ability to clearly communicate engineering information to cross functional teams Strong organizational skills Committed to following industry best practices for safety and quality Strong desire to continuously learn and improve Self-motivated with a strong desire to learn, take ownership, and drive projects to completion Preferred Qualifications:
