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. This role supports the development and operations of New Glenn, a single-configuration heavy-lift launch vehicle capable of routinely carrying people and payloads to Earth's orbit and beyond. Engineered with a reusable first stage and a seven-meter payload fairing, New Glenn is building the road to space. As part of a hardworking team of diverse engineers you will be responsible for structural analysis of launch vehicle hardware including landing gear, control surfaces, mechanisms for multiple spaceflight systems. You will share in the teams impact on all aspects of structural integrity throughout the entire product lifecycle, including concept design, testing and flight operations. 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! You will support New Glenn Aft Team by carrying out structural design and analysis activities in accordance with Blue Origin and consensus standards and complete tasks including: Strength checks using classical hand calc methods as well as finite element analysis Conduct failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) for critical components Collaborate with design engineers to optimize structural designs for weight, strength, and manufacturability Documentation of structural analysis to support the release of engineering drawings/documents Mentoring designers and junior structural analysts in stress/thermal/stability/fracture analysis and practices Providing technical guidance on design concepts (risk vs. cost vs. performance) Maintain and report on activity schedule, budget, and technical status Supporting other teams and team members with inputs for configuration development and trade studies Collaborate regularly with manufacturing and other teams 'Qualifications: Minimum of a B.S. degree in engineering and 7+ years of proven ability with aircraft, spacecraft, launch vehicle structures, or automotive Experience with classical strength analysis methods (Bruhn, Niu, Roark, Shigley etc.) Experience with one or more finite element modeling (FEM) packages (ANSYS Workbench, HyperWorks, ABAQUS, etc) required Understanding of FEM modeling techniques (boundary conditions, bolted connections, contact, verification methods, elastic, and elastoplastic analysis, etc.) Ability to Mentor designers and junior structural engineers in structural analysis standard methodologies Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to a culture of inclusion. Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. Desired: MS Degree in engineering and 10+ years of experience with aircraft, spacecraft, launch vehicle structures, or automotive Proven understanding of fatigue/fracture (NDE methods, fail-safe vs. safe life, NASA-STD-5019) Ability to understand and c
