Blue Origin
MK2 Principal Structures Stress Analyst - Lunar Permanence
Blue Origin, Tallahassee, Florida, United States
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.
This role is part of the Lunar Permanence business unit, which develops Blue Origin's Blue Moon landers and related products. To further Blue Origin's mission of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth, we are building sustainable infrastructure for our transport of crew and cargo from Earth to the lunar surface.
Join the Crew Lander Structures team, where your work will be key to shaping the future of lunar exploration. Work directly with NASA and top partners from our national team, as part of the Human Landing System (HLS) Sustaining Lunar Development (SLD) program. You'll take on the vital job of principal stress analysis for structures and lunar systems, helping us get back to the moon and support a lasting human presence beyond Earth.
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!
