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! 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. As part of a unique and highly-skilled team, you'll be responsible for structural analysis of space launch vehicle primary and secondary structures, as well as developing analysis processes. This is a hands-on position that involves all aspects of structural analysis throughout design, assembly, testing, and flight operations. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your dedicated commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable spaceflight. 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!

- Detailed hand calc and FEM analysis of primary and secondary aerospace structures
- Documentation of stress analysis to support release of engineering drawings / documents
- Deep understanding of repair methods and analytical practices for both composite and metallic structure
- Providing technical guidance on design concepts (risk vs. cost vs. performance)
- Maintain and report on production schedules, budgets and technical status
- Supporting cross organizational teams with input for production activities and configuration development
- Analysis checks for designers and junior structural analysts in stress/stability/fracture analysis and best practices
- Improving enterprise analysis capabilities such as creating process automation tools for model creation, strength checks, and analysis report generation
