Blue Origin
Blue Origin is working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. 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.
As part of a hardworking team of specialists, technicians, engineers, you will design structures for various spaceflight systems. You will share in the team’s impact on the design of the Stage 1 Tank. Employees will report to the Manager of Mechanical, Materials & Structural Engineering within the Stage 1 Tanks team.
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
Lead engineering scope to close including planning, detailed design, engineering release, procurement, and test. Ownership of the entire design cycle of structure components, including conceptual and detailed design, trade studies, structural analysis, build, development testing, and qualification. Develop, release, and maintain a full CAD and drawing engineering definition package. Support procurement activities to support vehicle build schedules. Support integrated test objectives, data review, and reporting. Perform or facilitate emergent analysis for non-conformances. Participate in subsystem level testing including planning, execution, data reduction and analysis. Work with multi-functional teams across multiple work sites that include design, analysis, materials, processes, structures, fluids, systems, procurement, and manufacturing. Minimum Qualifications
B.S. degree or higher in mechanical, structural, or other relevant engineering field. 3+ years in professional engineering experience. Strong fundamentals in mechanics of materials, stress/strain, statics, and finite element analysis. Experience with large primary or secondary structures. Experience with material selection, compatibility, and metallic manufacturing techniques & product forms (e.g. sheet metal, machining, etc). Familiarity with tolerance, GD&T and design for manufacturability. Strong mechanical design and integration skills using 3D CAD software. Strong product data management (PDM) skills (e.g. Windchill, TeamCenter, etc). Hands on experience with hardware “on the production floor” and/or “in service” Ability to travel 0%-20% of the year to Suppliers and Manufacturing Facility in FL to support manufacturing as needed. Preferred Qualifications
Ability to work independently driving engineering from conceptual to released engineering and flight hardware. Experience designing for manufacturability and value engineering, with focus on cost reduction and build time hour optimization. Experience with FEA analysis codes: Nastran, ANSYS, Optistruct, LS/Dyna. Familiarity with buckling, fatigue and/or fracture failure modes Compensation Range For WA applicants is $96,310.00-$134,833.65 Other Site Ranges May Differ Culture Statement
Don’t meet all desired requirements? Studies have shown that some people are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single desired qualification. At Blue Origin, we are dedicated to building an authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every desired qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. Equal Employment Opportunity
Blue Origin is proud to be an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer and is committed to attracting, retaining, and developing a highly qualified and dedicated work force. Blue Origin hires and promotes people on the basis of their qualifications, performance, and abilities.
