Senior Configuration Development & Integration Engineer - New Glenn
Blue Origin, Seattle, Washington, us, 98127
Join to apply for the
Sr System Design Integrator - New Glenn
role at
Blue Origin 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 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, passionate and accomplished team of experts, you will facilitate configuration development and integration of New Glenn Stage 1. You will share in the team’s impact on all aspects of the design throughout the product lifecycle. Your passion for space means you’re committed to the necessary quality and attention to detail required to support human space flight. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your dedicated commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable spaceflight. In this role you will integrate between sub-systems and modules to define the best design solutions for New Glenn Stage 1. You will manage the coordinated design solution across the vehicle structural, mechanical, fluids and electrical subsystems. You will also support development of system requirements, requirement flow down, and verification planning. You will lead multi-functional trades and impact studies. You will be responsible for coordinating and communicating designs changes between affected sub-systems. You will assist in configuration management and in Engineering Change Requests (ECR’s). You will build and manage interface definitions between subsystems with appropriate model interface definition and interface control documents (ICDs). In this role you will lead the configuration baseline of the first stage mid module in Windchill, including EBOM/MBOM alignment, part numbering, effectivity, serialization, and release workflows. Responsibilities
Own the configuration baseline of the first stage mid module in Windchill, including EBOM/MBOM alignment, part numbering, effectivity, serialization, and release workflows. Drive cross-module interface integrity with forward/aft modules, structures, fluids, avionics, TVC, harnessing, ordnance/separation, and GSE; author and maintain ICDs and configuration indexes. Lead change control: prepare CN/ECR/ECO packages, run impact analyses, present at various change boards, and handle deviations/waivers and nonconformances through closure. Establish datum strategies and apply GD&T per ASME Y14.5; perform tolerance stacks across mechanical and system interfaces; validate manufacturability with ME/Quality. Execute top-down design in CREO (skeletons, merge/inheritance, family tables, simplified reps) and maintain model-based definition (MBD) fidelity and drawing quality. Integrate mechanical and system requirements; link requirements to configuration and verification plans; support PDR/CDR and flight readiness reviews. Coordinate with Stress/Loads, Fluids, Thermal, and Vibe/Acoustics to meet budgets (mass, CG, stiffness, clearance, pressure, temperature, shock). Ensure digital thread continuity: trace design artifacts to requirements, test, and as-built records; reconcile as-designed vs. as-built for flight configuration. Partner with Manufacturing and Supply Chain on build plans, tooling, inspection, and acceptance test; resolve build issues and drive corrective actions. Mentor designers, enforce design standards, conduct model/drawing checks, and improve PLM/CAD standards. Minimum Qualifications
B.S. degree in engineering and at least 7 years of experience in the development and packaging of large structural support equipment used in oil/gas, aircraft, spacecraft, or launch vehicle structures Demonstrated configuration control experience on recently developed large support equipment used in oil/gas, aircraft, or launch vehicles from early trade studies through final design, and into manufacturing and test Strong interpersonal and teamwork skills and experience working in a highly integrated multi-functional team environment Good judgment and flexibility, and oriented on achieving results Strong design and integration skills using 3-D CAD software and visualization tools Demonstrated knowledge of scheduling and planning principles and tools Preferred Qualifications
B.S. degree in engineering and at least 10 years of experience or M.S. degree in engineering and at least 8 years of experience Strong GD&T skills and experience with large tolerance stack-up analysis Experience using PTC Creo and Windchill Participated in a recognized configuration management training (CMII) Knowledge of aerospace vehicle fabrication and assembly techniques and related quality control concepts Ability to interpret and apply high-level system requirements to practical design solutions Compensation Range
WA applicants is $140,959.00-$197,342.25 Benefits
Benefits include: Medical, dental, vision, basic and supplemental life insurance, paid parental leave, short and long-term disability, 401(k) with a company match of up to 5%, and an Education Support Program. Paid Time Off: Up to four (4) weeks per year based on weekly scheduled hours, and up to 14 company-paid holidays. Discretionary bonus: Bonuses are designed to reward individual contributions as well as allow employees to share in company results. Equal Employment Opportunity
