Join Blue Origin as a
Principal Structural Analyst - New Glenn We are developing 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 lead the analysis, development, testing, and qualification of structural subsystems for New Glenn’s second stage and payload accommodations. This is a hands-on position that involves all aspects of structural analysis throughout design, assembly, testing, and flight operations. Responsibilities Include Take leadership of the full lifecycle of hardware from requirements definition through concept development, design, analysis, testing, qualification, and integration Analysis lead of primary and secondary metallic and composite unpressurized structures Complete hand calc and FEM analyses to report margins of safety for primary and secondary aerospace structures Documentation of stress analysis to support release of engineering drawings / documents Perform research, develop concepts, and run trade studies providing technical guidance (risk vs. cost vs. performance) Build system and detail level models supporting structural design Take ownership of structural test planning, execution, data reduction, analysis, and authoring of test reports Prepare technical content and present to internal and external customers Collaborate with internal and external teams throughout design, manufacturing, and mission integration Improving enterprise analysis capabilities such as creating process automation tools for model creation, strength checks, and analysis report generation Coach, mentor and technically assist junior engineers and analysts Minimum Qualifications Minimum of a B.S. degree in engineering and 15+ years of experience with 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, orthogrid, isogrid, and composite sandwich panel design Experience working in a multi-functional organization to develop designs and produce world-class engineered products Strong understanding of composite and metallic design fundamentals Demonstrated expertise with any industry standard analysis codes: Ansys, Nastran, Optistruct, Hypermesh Experience in bolted joint design and analysis Structural design experience using CAD (Creo/Windchill preferred) and FEA tools Ability to take ownership of the hardware lifecycle from requirements definition through concept development, design, analysis, testing, qualification, and integration onto a launch vehicle Strong written and verbal communication skills and a collaborative attitude and effective interpersonal skills Self-motivated with a strong desire to learn, take ownership, and drive projects to completion Preferred Qualifications Dynamic separation systems and interface design Experience with rapid development techniques for hardware Experience with fabrication using automated fiber placement (AFP) and tape laying (ATL) Experience or expertise with fabrication of large-scale out-of-autoclave composite structures Demonstrated experience developing manufacturing processes for transition to production Knowledge of systems engineering practices, fabrication and integration processes, and quality control Experience with Optimization and Design of Experiments (DOE) methods as applied to design, analysis, and testing Compensation Range For
