Blue Origin
Structural Analyst II - New Glenn Payload Accommodations
Blue Origin, Tallahassee, Florida, United States
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, passionate, and accomplished team of experts, you will be responsible for structural analysis support for high rate builds of New Glenn\'s composite payload fairing, payload adapter and all associated structures. 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
Complete hand calc and FEM analysis to report margins of safety for primary and secondary aerospace structures Documentation of stress analysis to support nonconformance resolution, design upgrades, and design analysis cycles (loads, modeling, assumptions, etc) Provide guidance on repair methods and analytical practices for both composite and metallic structure Support designers with stress/stability/failure analysis and best practices Improve enterprise analysis capabilities such as creating process automation tools for model creation, strength checks, and analysis report generation Collaborate with internal and external teams throughout design, manufacturing, and mission integration Support cross organizational teams with input for production activities and configuration development Must be onsite daily and available to support production shifts Minimum Qualifications
Minimum of a B.S. degree (M.S. preferred) in engineering and 3+ years of experience with aircraft, spacecraft, launch vehicle structures, or automotive Understanding of FEM techniques (boundary conditions & constraints, bolted connections, contact, verification methods, etc.) Basic proficiency with one or more of the following analysis codes, particularly with reading and manipulating input files: Optistruct (preferred), Nastran, Ansys, Abaqus, LS-Dyna Basic proficiency with Altair Hyperworks products Knowledge of aerospace and/or launch vehicle structural requirements Free-body diagrams for internal and reaction load derivation Familiarity with classical aerospace sizing methods (ex: Bruhn, Niu, Roark) Experience with analyzing / dispositioning non-conformances Analysis of composite and/or metallic structures (sandwich panels, skin-stringer, fittings, etc.) Familiarity with composite failure modes and standard test methods (in-plane, interlaminar, shear, fracture, etc.) Experience and understanding of Non-Destructive Evaluation techniques Analysis of stability critical structures (local buckling phenomenon, global buckling, crippling) Mesh generation (ex: mid-surfacing) and understanding of element types Bolted joint calculations (bolt preload, joint stiffness, shear-tension interaction, insert pull-out, etc.) Able to effectively communicate and collaborate across a varied team Preferred Qualifications
Experience with development and/or qualification testing (test requirements, setup/configuration, test predictions, test conduct/monitoring, etc.) Demonstrated process automation experience using scripting languages (Matlab, Python, VBA, Fortran, etc.) Composite design and analysis skills in any thermoset, thermoplastic, metal matrix or ceramic matrix composites Experience with Creo (ProEngineer Wildfire 4 or greater) Experience with CATIA V5 Compensation
Range for WA applicants is $96,310.00-$134,833.65. Other site ranges may differ. Culture Statement
Don\'t meet all desired requirements? Studies have shown that some people are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single desired qualification.
