We are a diverse team of collaborators, doers, and problem-solvers who are relentlessly committed to a culture of safety. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your commitment and detailed attention toward safe and repeatable space flight. Join us in lowering the cost of access to space and enabling Blue Origin’s vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth.

This role is part of the Blue Origin Engines business unit, where our focus is the design, development, manufacturing and testing of engines and propulsion systems. Built for multiple uses, our family of engines is powering the next generation of rockets for commercial, civil, national security and human spaceflight.

As part of a small, hardworking, and accomplished team of professionals, you will design, develop, and test propulsion valves, fluid system components, and other mechanical systems for various liquid rocket engines. This hands-on position involves you in all aspects of the design, assembly, test, and flight operations of rocket components.

Additional responsibilities include:

• Lead and participate in the entire design cycle of valves and fluid system components including supporting requirements and verification definition, conceptual and detailed design, thermo-fluid modeling, structural analysis, development testing, and qualification
• Generate component and assembly drawings with the application of GD&T per ASME Y14.5
• Create documentation for assembly and testing of development and flight hardware
• Participate in fluid component and subsystem level testing including planning, execution, data reduction, and analysis
• Lead and support the development of project development plans, schedules, and cost estimates across all phases of a program

We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to impact safe human spaceflight positively. Passion for our mission and vision is required!

Qualifications:

• Minimum of a B.S. degree in engineering
• 5 years of direct design and development experience in fluid and mechanical components in the liquid propulsion industry, or similar
• Proficiency in 3D CAD programs (Creo preferred)
• Expert in GD&T application and analysis (ASME Y14.5)
• Knowledge in the use of FEA analysis tools (ANSYS preferred)
• Detailed knowledge of fluid components such as valves, regulators, and fittings
• Experience with leak and flow testing of hardware using cryogenic fluids and high-pressure gases
• Knowledge of fabrication and quality control relative to various manufacturing processes
• Working knowledge of materials and special processes
• Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to a culture of inclusion
• Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

Desired:

• Familiar with ASME Y14.100 and Y14.41
• M.S. in an engineering discipline or higher
• Experience with Creo (Pro/E) Wildfire 5 or greater, Windchill 10
• Strong technical fundamentals in propulsion, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and structural analysis
• Strong knowledge of hardware design processes, and hardware fabrication techniques, related to valves
