Sr. Thermal Systems Engineer - Lunar Permanence
Base pay range: $129,611.00/yr - $197,342.25/yr 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 is part of the Lunar Permanence business unit, which develops Blue Origin’s Blue Moon landers and related products. We are building sustainable infrastructure for our transport of crew and cargo from Earth to the lunar surface to further Blue Origin's mission of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. As part of a hardworking team of engineers, you will contribute to the definition and development of spacecraft thermal control systems. You should be comfortable working in a fast-paced and often uncertain environment, contributing to innovative solutions, while demonstrating personal leadership, technical competence, and attention to detail. You will work directly with the vehicle design team as part of the Human Landing System (HLS) Sustaining Lunar Development (SLD) program. You will play a key role in developing the Lunar Transportation system that will return humans to the Moon, this time to stay. The Thermal Systems Engineer III works within the Thermal Integrated Product Team (Thermal IPT). You will be responsible for performing and leading Systems Engineering (SE) tasks and delivering SE-related products. This person will work closely with the Thermal Analysts and Designers, but also across all other IPTs to ensure successful execution of the Thermal Subsystem in the larger spacecraft and mission. Contribute to a team of Thermal Engineers simultaneously developing groundbreaking lunar landers. 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 Develop & manage Thermal specifications and requirements (at subsystem and component-levels) Develop & manage Thermal interfaces, including ICDs and models (in collaboration with adjacent IPTs) Decompose requirements from system and subsystem-levels into lower-level requirements Thermal point of contact for inputs to vehicle system safety products and risk management Mentor early-career Thermal Systems Engineers on the Lunar Program Standardize Thermal Systems Engineering approaches Own the verification and validation of Thermal requirements, in collaboration with the Thermal test engineers Perform traceability analysis of requirements to higher levels, and to verification activities Lead trade studies across the Thermal IPT and with other IPTs Serve as the Thermal point-of-contact for other IPTs Utilize Systems Engineering tools such as Jama, Windchill and Cameo Support and present at major gated reviews including design reviews and readiness reviews Qualifications Minimum of a B.S. degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering 8+ years of relevant Thermal Engineering or Systems Engineering experience on space missions Understanding of heat transfer fundamentals in space environment Strong understanding and application of Systems Engineering fundamentals in requirements management, verification, and/or integration Familiarity with common spacecraft thermal hardware Strong understanding of aerospace hardware verification and validation process Desired M.S. or PhD in mechanical or aerospace engineering 12+ years of relevant Thermal Engineering or Systems Engineering experience on space missions Expertise in pumped fluid loop hardware and semi-passive devices Familiar with NASA Systems Engineering process and standards Experience solving a variety of thermal problems with breadth of application Expert in requirements management software such as Jama Compensation Compensation ranges by location: CA applicants $140,959.00-$197,342.25; CO applicants $129,611.00-$181,454.70; WA applicants $140,959.00-$197,342.25 Culture and other statements Culture Statement: Don’t meet all desired requirements?
