Blue Origin
Overview
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 New Shepard program. New Shepard is a reusable suborbital rocket system designed to take astronauts and research payloads past the Kármán line – the internationally recognized boundary of space. Through operational reusability, New Shepard supports our mission of lowering the cost of access to space. As part of a hardworking team of engineers, you will be responsible for design, analysis, development and testing of primary and secondary structures for New Shepard. You will take ownership of designs from concept through launch, perform initial sizing and detailed analysis, and work directly with our manufacturing teams to ensure successful hardware integration. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your dedicated commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable spaceflight. Our best team members are flexible in constantly evolving environments, thorough, detail oriented and passionate. We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and dedication to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required! The New Shepard team is headquartered in Kent, WA. Application Close Date Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed. Responsibilities
Lead the design, analysis, development, and testing of primary and secondary structures, including metallic piece parts and weldments, as well as integrated structural assemblies. Create 3D models, detail part drawings, assemblies, installations, and interface control documents Provide technical guidance for manufacturing and general Liaison Engineering support. Coach, mentor and technically assist junior engineers. 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, manufacturing processes, to produce world-class aerospace hardware Maintaining and reporting on activity schedule, budget and technical status. Identify opportunities for safety improvements and operational cost savings. Qualifications
B.S. degree or higher in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or related field. 5 + years’ experience Experience on recently developed aircraft or launch vehicles in one or more of the following areas: Structural design of metallic components and assemblies Vehicle load path distribution, and first order strength assessment and sizing Material selection, compatibility and manufacturing techniques Strong mechanical design and integration skills using 3D CAD software. Proficiency in structural analysis including hand calculations and Finite Element Analysis. Ability to rapidly apply structural mechanics principles and development designs using hand calculations and finite element analysis. Ability to learn, grow and tackle new challenges in a fast-paced environment. Excellent attention to detail and task ownership, someone who demonstrates pride in all work and willingness to perform low-level tasks when needed. Experience with full product lifecycle of design, test, and production. Strong written and personal computer skills. Passion for advancing the commercial space industry and human spaceflight. Strong understanding of GD&T (ASME Y14.5). Desired
Understanding of material and design considerations in a cryogenic operating environment. Experience with aircraft, spacecraft, or launch vehicle structures. Experience with Creo (Pro/E) Wildfire 5 or greater, Windchill 10. Knowledge of design and analysis of welded structures.
