Fluid Systems Design Engineer II: Upper Stage & Payload Fairing - New Glenn

Apply locations: Greater Seattle Area, Denver, CO time type: Full time posted on: Posted 2 Days Ago 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. In this role you will be responsible for leading the design, development, manufacturing and testing of fluid systems for rockets! You will engage in all levels of the design cycle including conceptual design, requirements definition, thermo-fluid modeling, 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. 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:

• Design fluid component hardware to meet cost, performance and schedule constraints.
• Design and route complex fluid subsystems (i.e., pressurization, pneumatics, propellant utilization)
• Create and own the development, acceptance and qualification test activities for your hardware.
• Work with fluid components (i.e., solenoid valves, pneumatic valves, regulators, pressure vessels and instrumentation)
• Work closely with other groups to ensure your systems work together, resolving issues at an accelerated pace while managing risk
• Good project management skills are vital, including supplier management,...

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering,...
• 3+ years of professional engineering experience with complex fluid systems
• Demonstrated experience with spacecraft or launch vehicle fluid system component design
• Experience with aircraft,...
• Solid understanding of fluid components such as valves,...
• Proficiency in crafting engineering drawings with GD&T (ASME Y14.5)
• Knowledge of fabrication,...
• Working knowledge of material properties...
• Experience diagnosing...

Preferred Qualifications:

• Proficiency in 3D CAD programs (Creo Pro/E...)
• Experience in a rapid...
• Component testing...
• Experience with thruster systems
• Experience with cryogenic systems (LOX...)
• Experience performing stress analysis

Welcome: We’re committed to building... Thank you for your interest in working at Blue Origin!
