Blue Origin
Join to apply for the
Engine System Analyst II
role at
Blue Origin 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 is part of the Blue Origin Engines business unit, where our focus is the design, development, manufacturing, and testing of engines and propulsion systems. Built for multiple uses, our family of engines is powering the next generation of rockets for commercial, civil, national security, and human spaceflight. The System Analysis Team is focused on engine performance and internal fluid flow problems with advanced lumped parameter models. The models owned by our team are critical to defining test sequences, predicting test behavior, ensuring engine performance meets requirements, and defining upgrades. These engines will be used to power our vehicles that fly to space. As a key propulsion analyst, you will be performing analyses, supporting rocket engine testing, and interacting with both Chief Engineers and component owners. You will build and run steady state and transient analytic models of engines and other test articles to predict how they operate. To be part of our team you will be expected to create and use 1D fluid analysis software and codes to perform advanced analysis of rocket engine systems; provide guidance and mentoring of junior engineers; and help support the development of processes and tools in Python and Matlab. To be successful on this team, you will need to be able to work collaboratively to solve problems while owning independent projects to completion. We are looking for someone with strong skills in fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, software development, system-level thinking, is eager to learn, and enjoys modeling rocket engines! Responsibilities
Build and run steady state and transient analytic models of rocket engines and test articles Support rocket engine and component level testing to ensure performance meets requirements and help define iterative upgrades Analyze internal fluid flow problems using advanced lumped parameter models Collaborate with component design engineers, chief engineers, and program leaders to develop and refine system models Develop and apply analysis processes and tools using Python and MatLab Work collaboratively with peers to solve problems, and provide mentorship to junior engineers Qualifications
Minimum of a B.S. degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering At least 2+ years of engineering experience (level commensurate upon experience) Experience in modeling complex fluid systems Understanding of numerical solvers and methods Understanding of fluid components like valves, turbines, pumps, and combustors Strong understanding and ability to apply engineering fundamentals including thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and power systems Proficient in programming and knowledge of at least one programming/scripting language (Python/MATLAB/Fortran/etc.) Shown familiarity with data analysis and anchoring models to test data Curiosity to understand engines at a component and system level Desire to work in a collaborative, fast-paced, and dynamic environment Experience overseeing, guiding, and mentoring fellow engineers Ability to communicate analysis results to various customers and partners Ability to be self-directed and balance several tasks at one time Passion for our mission and vision is required! Desired
M.S. degree or higher Knowledge of ROCETS, NPSS, GFSSP, Thermal-Desktop, or an equivalent system modeling software package Knowledge of Fortran, Python and Matlab Demonstrated experience with modeling pump-fed liquid rocket engine systems Experience in cryogenic propellants Proven track record leading teams Demonstrated experience with system or performance analysis across the lifecycle of a product or across different products Experience with engine qualification, verification, and testing Compensation Range
CA applicants is $96,310.00-$134,833.65; WA applicants is $96,310.00-$134,833.65 Benefits
Benefits include: Medical, dental, vision, basic and supplemental life insurance, paid parental leave, short and long-term disability, 401(k) with a company match of up to 5%, and an Education Support Program. Paid Time Off: Up to four (4) weeks per year based on weekly scheduled hours, and up to 14 company-paid holidays. Discretionary bonus: Bonuses are designed to reward individual contributions as well as allow employees to share in company results. 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. We support the establishment and maintenance of a workplace that fosters trust, equality, and teamwork.
