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 team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflightThis 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.We are looking for a technical expert and proven leader with experience in flight vehicle fluid systems to lead the design, development, and testing of reaction control systems and heat exchangers for a launch vehicle upper stage. You will provide guidance and direction in varying levels of the design cycle, which may include 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 dedication to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight, while demonstrating passion for our mission.Responsibilities:Lead a team of engineers to implement product definition, design, and production of reaction control and heat exchanger fluid subsystemsDeliver completed designs using 3D CAD (Creo preferred), 2D and 3D drawings per ASME Y14.5 GD&T along with detailed analysis reports using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) (ANSYS preferred)Coordinate cross-functional teams to ensure your systems work together, resolving issues with calculated riskProvide mentorship on fluid system and component design best practices, and serve as a technical peer reviewer of design and test proposalsBuild and manage project plans including cost, schedule and risk management to ensure timely deliveryOversee component and system level testing, verification, and data analysis as part of development, qualification and hardware acceptanceMinimum Qualifications:Minimum of a B.S. degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or related fieldProven experience leading spacecraft or launch vehicle fluid system component design or testExpertise in design and development of reaction control systems, heat exchangers, or cryogenic systemsSolid understanding of propulsion and fluid components such as valves, nozzles, and fittingsIn-depth knowledge of manufacturing processes such as machining, welding, and direct metal laser sinteringWorking knowledge of material selection and treatmentsPreferred Qualifications:Advanced degree in an engineering fieldExperience with hydrogen and oxygen systemsCompensation Range for:WA applicants is $145,188.00 - $203,263.20Other site ranges may differCulture StatementDon't meet all desired requirements?
