Blue Origin
Join to apply for the
Structural Analyst II – New Glenn
role at
Blue Origin .
Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed.
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. 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 a key member of the New Glenn team of experts, you will orchestrate the design, development, and testing of fluid systems for the New Glenn Rocket and various spaceflight systems. You will play a pivotal role in shaping all aspects of fluid systems design, operation, and project management, contributing significantly to the team’s success.
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!
Responsibilities
Detailed hand calculation and FE analysis of primary and secondary aerospace structures.
Documentation of stress analysis to support release of engineering drawings and documents.
Making predictions, implementing test campaigns, and creating reports in support of hardware qualifications.
Supporting other teams and team members with inputs for configuration development and trade studies.
Mentoring and analysis checks for designers and junior structural analysts in stress/stability/fracture analysis and standard processes.
Improving enterprise analysis capabilities such as crafting process automation tools for model creation, optimization, strength checks, and analysis report generation.
Effectively and constructively collaborating with team members from various fields and backgrounds, adjacent teams, and the shop floor.
Minimum Qualifications
Minimum of a B.S. degree (M.S. preferred) in engineering.
Experience of demonstrated ability with aircraft, spacecraft and launch vehicle structures.
Demonstrated proficiency with one or more of the following analysis codes, particularly with reading and manipulating input files: Nastran, OptiStruct, Ansys, Abaqus.
High proficiency with SimuTech Ansys products or suitable alternate, e.g., Abaqus.
Extensive understanding of FEM modeling techniques (boundary conditions, bolted connections, contact, verification methods, etc.).
Experience with development and/or qualification testing (test requirements, setup/configuration, test predictions, test conduct/monitoring, etc.).
Knowledge of aerospace and/or launch vehicle structural requirements.
Familiarity with classical aerospace sizing methods (e.g., Bruhn, Niu, Roark).
Preferred Qualifications
Demonstrated experience with fluid systems and geometry optimization methods.
Demonstrated experience with metallic structural layout, analysis, testing, and qualification methods.
Demonstrated process automation experience using scripting languages (Matlab, Python, VBA, Fortran, etc.).
Experience with Creo (ProEngineer Wildfire 4 or greater), and CATIA V5.
Compensation WA applicants: $96,310.00–$134,833.65.

Required for certain job profiles: Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) background check if the role requires placement on a military installation.
Required for certain job profiles: Drivers who operate Commercial Motor Vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 10,001 lbs. or more may be subject to additional Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.
Required for certain job profiles: Ability to obtain and maintain a Merchant Mariner Credential, which includes pre‑employment and random drug testing as well as a DOT physical.
Benefits
Medical, dental, vision, basic and supplemental life insurance, paid parental leave, short and long‑term disability, 401(k) with a company match up to 5%, and an Education Support Program.
Paid Time Off: Up to four (4) weeks per year based on scheduled hours and up to 14 company‑paid holidays.
Dependent on role type and job level, employees may be eligible for bonuses based on individual contributions; bonus amounts and eligibility are not guaranteed.
