Thermal Engineer for Space Resources

At Blue Origin, we're pushing the boundaries of space exploration and development. Our ambitious Space Resources Program is seeking a highly skilled Senior Thermal Engineer to join our team.

This role is centered on advancing and demonstrating In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) technologies for the Moon and beyond. You will specialize in developing thermal management solutions for systems that operate under extreme conditions, including high temperatures and high currents.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, simulate, and optimize thermal management systems for ISRU technologies.
  • Participate in all product development stages, from conceptualization through design, to implementation, integration, and environmental testing in space analog conditions.
  • Conduct detailed thermal analysis and simulations to predict system behavior under various space environmental conditions.
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of thermal systems within complex ISRU platforms.
  • Lead the development, execution, and analysis of thermal tests, ensuring systems meet stringent space mission requirements.
  • Formulate and manage thermal specifications and interface requirements for ISRU systems and components.
  • Serve as a key thermal engineering resource, providing guidance and expertise to project teams and stakeholders.
  • Document and maintain comprehensive records of designs, analyses, and test results for knowledge sharing and future reference.

Requirements:

  • B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related fields.
  • 7+ years of experience in thermal engineering with specific expertise in high temperature, high current systems, and their applications in space environments.
  • Demonstrated proficiency in thermal modeling and simulation tools for space applications.
  • Hands-on experience in designing, testing, and integrating thermal management systems for space hardware, especially ISRU technologies.
  • Solid understanding of heat transfer principles, thermal management techniques, and the selection of materials suitable for high temperature and high current space environments.
  • Proven track record of developing and delivering spaceflight hardware under tight development cycles.
  • Ability to work effectively in a dynamic, team-oriented environment.
  • 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.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Advanced degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related fields.
  • 10+ years of relevant experience in thermal engineering for space systems, with a focus on ISRU technologies.
  • Extensive experience with thermal management in high temperature and high current applications, including reactors and electrolysis systems.
  • Proficient in environmental testing of space hardware, particularly in thermal vacuum conditions.
  • Knowledge of CAD software for designing thermal management systems and conducting analysis.
  • Experience with thermal analysis of various heating methods, including inductive and microwave heating in vacuum environments.
