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 hardworking team of engineers, you will support the development and operations of New Glenn, a heavy-lift orbital launch vehicle capable of routinely carrying people and payloads to low-Earth orbit, geostationary transfer orbit, cislunar space, and beyond. The fully reusable Stage 1 booster (GS1-9E, powered by nine BE-4 engines) is central to Blue Origin's mission of dramatically lowering the cost of access to space through rapid reuse.
You'll be an integral part of the design, development, test, qualification, and production of Landing Gear Subsystem for the New Glenn 2.0 booster. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your dedicated commitment and detailed attention to safe and repeatable spaceflight.
A thorough understanding of structural analysis and load path is required as we strive for a weight optimized design. In addition, you will be responsible for creating analysis documentation that is concise and accurate and to perform peer reviews of analysis and reports generated by other team members. You will also be expected to provide structural analysis guidance to design engineers as well as junior structural analysts.
We are looking for someone who brings technical expertise, leadership skills, and a commitment to quality that will positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!
Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
- Own the structural integrity assessments necessary to design, build, test, qualify, and certify the New Glenn Stage 1 Landing Gear Subsystem.
- Perform detailed hand calculations and finite element analyses (linear, nonlinear, and dynamic) of primary and secondary structures, mechanisms, for development, production support, and sustainment.
- Perform fatigue, fracture, and damage tolerance analyses to support reuse life and inspection interval definition.
- Provide structural analysis support for component, sub-component, subsystem, and system-level testing, including development, product improvement, and qualification testing.
- Provide technical leadership on design concepts and trades (risk vs. cost vs. performance), and represent stress analysis team at design reviews. Prepare and
