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!
This role supports the development and operations of New Glenn, a single-configuration, heavy-liftorbital launch vehicle capable ofroutinelycarrying people and payloads to low-Earth orbit, geostationary transfer orbit, cislunar,and beyond.Its first stage is fully reusable, and the vehicle was designedfrom the beginningto be human-capable.
In this role you will be responsible for leading the design, development, and testing of fluid systems for rockets. You will engage in all levels of the design cycle including conceptual design, requirements, thermo-fluid modeling, component selection, material selection, structural layout and analysis, integration, test, and mission support.You will use creative thinking and novel manufacturing solutions to solve complex problems with high pressure, cryogenic, and highly stressed hardware.You may task one or more team members as they support you.You will report to a manager of your system.
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: You will design, develop, and qualify individual fluid subsystems (i.e., propellant fill / drain, pressurization, pneumatics, etc.) Design and route fluid subsystems (i.e., pressurization, pneumatics, reaction control) Complete trade studies to select components and system schema that meet performance, cost, manufacturability, and schedule requirements Work with fluid components (i.e., solenoid valves, thrusters, pressure vessels, and instrumentation). Work with 3D CAD programs (Creo preferred) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) programs (ANSYS Preferred). Deliver completed designs using best draft practicing per ASME Y14.5 GD&T standards along with clear and well documented analysis reports. Work closely with other groups to ensure your systems work together, resolving issues with calculated risk. Following design efforts, you will lead and participate in component and system level testing and data analysis.
