Seattle, Washington, United States Blue Origin Full time
About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Mechanical Systems Engineer to join our team at Blue Origin. As a key member of our Advanced Upper Stage team, you will be responsible for designing and developing Thrust Vector Control and Mechanical Separation System deployments for our New Glenn launch vehicle.

This is an exciting opportunity to work on a cutting-edge project that will enable delivery of high-energy missions for national security and NASA exploration. You will work closely with our design engineers to craft the future of Blue Origin and contribute to the development of safe, reliable, and ready-to-install hardware that meets requirements within allocated cost and schedule constraints.

Responsibilities
  • Design mechanisms for space flight, including thrust vector control, engine gimbaling mechanisms, docking systems, and separation systems.
  • Participate in the entire design cycle of flight hardware, including conceptual and detailed design, trade studies, structural analysis, development testing, and qualification.
  • Generate component drawings, assembly drawings, and interface control documents with application of GD&T per ASME Y14.5.
  • Document for assembly and testing of development and flight hardware.
  • Participate in subsystem level testing, including planning, execution, data reduction, and analysis.
  • Develop component specifications and manage suppliers.
  • Leverage experience and engineering judgment to quickly design and produce non-flight, proof-of-concept hardware for fast-paced research and development projects.
  • Participate in a small, agile team to create and adapt to frequently shifting priorities.
Qualifications
  • Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical, Structural, or Aerospace Engineering (or similar discipline).
  • Recent experience designing aerospace or equivalent type mechanical system elements within aircraft, spacecraft, or launch vehicles using metallic and/or composite materials, surface treatments, and assembly methods.
  • Strong mechanical design, integration, and mechanism analysis skills using 3D modeling and simulation tools (CREO/ANSYS preferred).
  • Proven familiarity with data reduction and analysis (MATLAB or similar).
  • Experience with design/analysis for Thermal/Radiation Natural Environments and Shock/Vibration dynamic environments is a plus.
  • Experience with GD&T analysis (ASME Y14.5) and performing tolerance stacks.
  • Experience in manufacturing, assembly, and integration with knowledge of DFX design principles, namely mass/cost optimization and designing with the entirety of the project life cycle in mind.
  • Proficient in technical writing, communicating sophisticated ideas clearly and concisely.
  • Experience with qualification testing and specifying and justifying margins and test sequences for aerospace systems.
  • Ability to work in a team environment, earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and supply to a culture of inclusion.
