Overview
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 are developing 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 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. Its first stage is fully reusable, and the vehicle was designed from the beginning to be human-capable. As part of a small hardworking team of engineers, you will be responsible for design, analysis, development and testing of primary and secondary structures for New Glenn Payload Accommodations structure. In this role, you will take ownership of designs from concept through launch, perform initial sizing, design, analysis, development, testing, and qualification of structural subsystems, and work directly with our manufacturing teams to ensure successful hardware integration. 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 include: Design, analysis, development, and testing of primary and secondary structures, including composites and metallic piece parts, as well as integrated structural assemblies. Take ownership of the full lifecycle of hardware from requirements definition through concept development, design, analysis, testing, qualification, and integration onto a launch vehicle Perform research, develop concepts, and run trade studies Create 3D models, detail part drawings, assemblies, installations, and interface control documents Provide manufacturing and production support for your hardware Provide technical guidance for integration Support configuration development and trade studies Apply practical approaches to hardware fabrication and cost impacts Create test plans, specifications, and other documentation for the development of flight hardware Work with vertically-integrated teams that are responsible for materials and manufacturing processes to produce world-class aerospace hardware Participate in subsystem test planning, execution, data reduction and analysis Plan, coordinate, conduct tests, and review test data Participate in the development and purchase of new equipment and tooling Maintain and report on activity schedule, budget and technical status Minimum Qualifications: Minimum of a B.S. degree in engineering. 4+ years of experience with automotive, aircraft, spacecraft, or launch vehicle structures. Experience on recently developed aircraft or launch vehicles in one or more of the following areas: vehicle load path distribution and first order strength assessment and sizing; skin-stringer and sandwich panel design; material selection, compatibility and manufacturing techniques. Structural design of metallic components and assemblies Strong mechanical design and integration skills using 3D CAD software Familiar with GD&T analysis (ASME Y14.5) Preferred Qualifications: Ability to rapidly apply structural mechanics principles and development designs using hand calculations and finite element analysis Understanding of material and design considerations in a cryogenic operating environment Experience with full product lifecycle of design, test, and production Experience with Creo (Pro/E) Wildfire 5 or greater, Windchill 10 Knowledge of design and fabrication considerations for composite structures Familiarity with classical hand analysis methods (Bruhn, Niu, Roark's, etc.) Familiarity with analysis codes: Nastran, ANSYS, Optistruct, Abaqus, HyperMesh, Hypersizer Compensation Compensation range for Washington applicants is $96,310.00-$134,833.65. Other site ranges may differ. Culture Statement Don\'t meet all desired requirements?
