  • Create precise and concise analysis documentation and perform peer reviews of analyses and reports generated by colleagues.
  • Provide structural analysis guidance to design engineers and junior analysts.
  • Support production issues, ongoing testing, and mission operations as we transition from initial design and qualification testing to production and operational phases.
Qualifications:

Minimum Requirements:

  • A passion for our mission of enabling millions to live and work in space.
  • B.S. degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering with 6+ years of structural analysis experience in aircraft, spacecraft, launch vehicle structures, or automotive sectors.
  • Proven expertise in vehicle load path and stress analysis of metallic and/or composite structures.
  • Familiarity with classical aerospace sizing methodologies.
  • Knowledge of engineering materials and their applications for optimal structural design.
  • Experience with at least two analysis software packages.
  • Proficiency in scripting languages.
  • U.S. citizenship or lawful residency status is required.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • MS degree in engineering or equivalent experience.
  • Experience with large-scale structural testing and instrumentation.
  • Proficiency in ANSYS Mechanical is highly desirable.
  • Understanding of linear-elastic fracture mechanics fundamentals.
  • Familiarity with MATLAB.
Inclusivity Statement:

At Blue Origin, we are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. If you are enthusiastic about this role but do not meet every single qualification, we encourage you to apply. You may be the ideal candidate for this or other positions.

Benefits:

We offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, vision, life insurance, paid parental leave, short and long-term disability, a 401(k) plan with company matching, and an Education Support Program.

Paid Time Off: Enjoy up to four weeks of paid time off annually, plus up to 14 company-paid holidays.

Discretionary Bonus: Our bonus structure rewards individual contributions and allows employees to share in the success of the company.
