Blue Origin
Aerospace Systems Engineer II - 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. Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight!
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.
We are looking for an aerospace systems engineer to help craft the gas system for the Lunar Transporter spacecraft. Work will include the complete life cycle of the gas sub-system from definition, interfaces, conceptual design, detailed design, component development, assembly, verification, and operations.
A successful candidate will understand fluid systems, systems engineering practices, fluid dynamics, and compressible flow for space vehicles.
The position will work under a lead engineer accountable for requirements, subsystem testing, ground, launch, and mission CONOPS for the gas system. You will support systems engineering responsibilities and aid responsible engineers subsystem flow down working will vehicle and mission groups.
The position will be responsible for subsystem requirements, CONOPS flow downs, states and modes, interface management, and other systems engineering duties.
The position will work directly on our Transporter Vehicle within the Lunar Permanence Business Unit. Bring your technical expertise, leadership skills, and dedication to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!
You will play a key role in developing the Lunar Transportation system that will return humans to the Moon and extend human presence permanently beyond the bounds of Earth.
Responsibilities:
Work at significant technical depth on complex subsystems with some oversight as part of the Transporter Gas Sub-System Support the development and execution of component and subsystem tests Coordinate plans for subsystem verification test and analysis Review and approve engineering changes from a system safety and reliability perspective Understand and apply systems engineering fundamentals across the development cycle of systems including concept development, requirements, design, analysis, validation, integrations, safety, configuration management, verification, and test Integrate between fluids and propulsion subsystem and overall system level vehicle design, analysis, software, and operations Ensure timely updates and communication of system level architecture diagrams, schematics Perform Failure Modes and Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) Tackle the broad range of gas and thruster design engineer tasks like leading trade studies, component design/integration, and test support Minimum Qualifications:
B.S. in Aerospace, Mechanical, Physics, Systems Engineering or related technical subject area 3+ years of proven experience in fluids, propulsion, or aerospace systems Experience with fluid/gas components i.e., solenoid valves, directional valves, manifolds, regulators, pressure vessels and instrumentation. Experience with systems engineering principles Ability to assess mission-specific risks as a result of the status of hazard controls Develop and maintain safety documentation, including safety cases, safety assessment reports, and hazard logs Ability to work effectively and collaboratively in a fast-paced, dynamic work environment Familiarity with agile planning Excellent verbal, written, and graphical communications skills Desired Qualifications:
Experience driving the development and validation of system requirements to ensure safety considerations are appropriately addressed Experience assessing fluids and propulsion hazards and their causes to develop system safety constraints and control strategies. Experience supporting early trade studies to drive design-for-system safety and reliability into the fluids and propulsion architecture. Experience performing reliability analysis to identify design weaknesses and inform design improvements, such as Failure Modes and Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) Experience reviewing and approve engineering changes from a system safety and reliability perspective. Experience performing system safety and/or reliability analyses on satellites or human-rated in-space systems Experience performing compliance assessment of system safety processes and products against external standards including Range Safety, NASA, FAA, MIL-STD-882, or ARP-4761 Experience with certification of human-rated space systems 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.
