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 small, passionate and accomplished team of engineers and analysts,
you will support all aspects of thermal and fluid system design for various New
Glenn spaceflight systems. You will share in the team’s impact on the systems
through their entire lifetime from early conceptual design and configuration
through flight operations and sustaining engineering. The responsibilities of
this position will be analysis intensive, primarily supportive of development
and verification of launch vehicle component and vehicle thermal and fluid
environments and performance requirements. You will be expected to coordinate
analysis questions from multiple teams and help define the scope for the
requisite analysis. You will implement aerothermal, rocket plume heating, and
natural environments during all phases of flight. You will own the documentation
and maintenance of analysis inputs, models, and results in reports and data
books.
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!
