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 team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! Blue Origin is pioneering the future of space-based communications with TeraWave, a revolutionary satellite communications network designed to deliver symmetrical data speeds of up to 6 Tbps anywhere on Earth. This multi-orbit constellation will consist of optically interconnected satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) and medium Earth orbit (MEO), providing enterprise-grade connectivity for critical operations worldwide. At Blue Origin, we're not just building the future of space exploration-we're revolutionizing global connectivity through our TeraWave satellite network. As aSenior Satellite Structural Analyst, you will support the structural design, analysis, verification, and test activities that enable reliable spacecraft production and operation at constellation scale. You will work closely with structures, configuration, systems, manufacturing, AIT, test, and external integration teams to assess structural performance, resolve technical challenges, and mature hardware from concept through qualification and flight readiness. Join our team and help build a space-based network designed for tomorrow, where your expertise will directly contribute to creating reliable connectivity anywhere on Earth.
Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
- Support structural analysis and verification of TeraWave spacecraft structures, mechanisms, and mechanical interfaces throughout design, qualification, acceptance, and flight-readiness activities
- Independently plan and execute assigned structural-analysis work packages, from requirements definition and model development through margin closure, test correlation, and final documentation
- Define and maintain structural design criteria, load cases, and analysis assumptions for assigned hardware using applicable launch-vehicle, dispenser, transportation, ground-handling, test, and on-orbit environments
- Support development and maintenance of structural requirements, mechanical ICDs, and interface loads documentation for spacecraft subsystems, MGSE, dispenser, and launch-vehicle interfaces, as assigned
- Perform comprehensive structural analysis on primary and secondary satellite structures using classical hand calculations and advanced finite element analysis (FEA) techniques
- Develop and validate detailed finite element models of satellite components, subsystems, and full spacecraft to satisfy launch and on-orbit requirements
- Analyze and verify structural designs for applicable launch, ground-handling, transportation, test, and on-orbit environments, including quasi-static, random vibration, sine vibration, acoustic,
