Work in Washington Veterans Jobs

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! This role is part of the Blue Origin Engines business unit, where our focus is the design, development, manufacturing and testing of engines and propulsion systems. Built for multiple uses, our family of engines is powering the next generation of rockets for commercial, civil, national security and human spaceflight. As part of a hardworking team of diverse engineers, you will be placed within the Thermal Analysis group among peers and experts in heat transfer and flow network modeling. Growing your engineering knowledge and system understanding as you go, you will directly contribute to the development of the most advanced liquid rocket engines in the world by using good engineering judgment and generating creative analyses. You will participate in all stages of rocket engine development from conception through detailed design and test support. As an early career analyst, you will gain exposure to the fundamentals of liquid rocket engine operation and performance and build your experience in industry standard tools. You will generate, maintain, and document 2d and 3d finite element analyses of whole turbopump assemblies, valves, and individual component sub-models. You will predict the thermal states of these devices through mission transients to aid structural and clearance analyses, directly impacting component performance and safety. You can expect to receive substantial technical mentorship to ensure your success. Responsibilities include but are not limited to: Thermal analysis of rocket engine turbomachinery and valves at varying levels of maturity and detail Meticulous bookkeeping of model status and changes over time Defining and anchoring thermal predictions of turbomachinery and valve components and assemblies to test data Advocating for methods that will improve component and analysis performance and reliability Growing your knowledge and analytical expertise through consistent mentorship and peer reviews of your work Minimum Qualifications Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline is required 2+ years of industry experience in heat transfer design or analysis Solid understanding of heat transfer, flow, and thermodynamic first principles Good communication skills and proficiency with productivity tools 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. Preferred Qualifications Advanced degree (master's or higher) in an engineering discipline with a focus on thermal or fluid sciences Experience with ANSYS Classic or ANSYS Mechanical (Workbench) for thermal analysis Experience using 1-d flow network software Prior job experience in thermal/fluid testing and choosing the appropriate instrumentation for a given test application Demonstrated knowledge surrounding cryogens and phase change heat transfer Compensation range for on site WA applicants is $89,820-$125,748 Compensation range for on site CA applicants is $89,820-$125,748 Other site ranges may differ Inclusivity Statement Don't meet all desired requirements? Studies have shown that some people are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single desired qualification.
