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're working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. Join our diverse team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! We are a diverse team of collaborators, doers, and problem-solvers who are relentlessly committed to a culture of safety. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable space flight. Join us in lowering the cost of access to space and enabling Blue Origin's vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth. As part of a small, passionate team, you will lead structural analysis using classical methods and Finite Element Modeling (FEM) in support of the development of Blue Origin rocket engines. You will be an integral part of the Analysis and Component Test Team as we drive design, manufacturing, mass, and cost improvements across the engine system. Some hardware you and the team may be responsible for analyzing include: major engine structural elements including turbomachinery, combustion devices, valves, ducts, and ancillary systems. To be successful in this position, you will need to be able to balance multiple technical issues and remain tactically focused in a high paced environment. We value team members committed to continuous learning and who foster a collaborative environment. 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 include but are not limited to: Performing detailed hand calcs and FEA of aerospace structures and pressurized systems for new designs, design improvements, and for non-conforming hardware Effectively and constructively collaborating with team members from various fields and backgrounds, providing inputs for design development activities and trade studies Authoring and peer reviewing structural analysis reports to support release of engineering drawings and documents Supporting test plan development to verify requirements and generate material and structural data necessary to establish confidence in design solutions Tracking and reporting on progress and technical status of analysis activities Providing technical mentorship on structural analysis and design concepts to junior analysts and design engineers Establishing tools and processes to simplify analysis and allow for quick iteration/analysis of designs Driving standard analysis approaches within the team Minimum Qualifications: B.S. degree or higher in Aerospace Engineering, Propulsion Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent. 7+ years of experience in structural analysis using commercial FEA tools and hand-calcs Experience with structural analysis of pressurized components, rocket engine hardware, and/or similar high-performance hardware for all life-cycle phases of design, development, test and flight. Solid understanding of structural analysis/mechanics, Statics, Fatigue, Fracture, Dynamics Knowledge of engineering materials and their applications Ability to be self-directed, balance several tasks simultaneously, and delegate work across a team of analysts. Ability to communicate analysis results effectively. Ability to work in teams. Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to a culture of inclusion.
