Application close date:
Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed.
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 hardworking team of engineers, you will be responsible for integrating the Liquid rocket engine with the GS2 vehicle, with a focus on fluid systems, structural interfaces, and interface control documentation (ICD) and specifications.
Responsibilities include but are not limited to:- Own the technical integration of the engine to the GS2 stage, including all fluid and structural interfaces.
- Define, develop, and maintain engine-vehicle Interface Control Documents (ICDs), ensuring alignment across BE-3U and GS2 stakeholders.
- Develop and manage system- and subsystem-level specifications for BE-3U/GS2 interfaces (fluid, structural, electrical, and avionics as needed).
- Lead the design and integration of fluid interfaces (propellant, pressurization, purge, vent, and drain) between engine and stage, including line routing, manifolds, and valves.
- Coordinate loads, environments, and interface requirements with analysis teams (structures, dynamics, thermal, and fluids) and incorporate results into ICDs and specs
- Support test planning and test execution for BE-3U/GS2 integrated testing (component, subsystem, and system-level), including test configurations and data review.
- Drive resolution of interface and design changes via structured change control, including updates to ICDs, specs, and configuration baselines.
- Provide clear technical communication (presentations, review packages, and trade studies) to leadership and cross-functional teams.
Minimum Qualifications:- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
- 3+ years of relevant experience in propulsion, launch vehicle, or complex aerospace system integration.
- Experience with fluid systems (cryogenic propellants, pressurization, or pneumatic systems) and structural interfaces in propulsion or vehicle applications.
- Demonstrated experience creating and managing ICDs, requirements, or specifications for complex hardware.
- Proficiency with engineering tools for CAD, drawings, and requirements management (e.g., Creo/Windchill, DOORS/Jama, or equivalent).
- Experience working in multi-disciplinary teams and driving closure on interface issues across organizations.
Preferred Qualifications:- Master's degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering, or related discipline.
- 5+ years of experience integrating rocket engines with launch vehicle stages or similar propulsion-structure systems.
- Hands-on experience with cryogenic oxygen and hydrogen systems, including ground test or flight hardware.
- Experience with structural loads, dynamic environments, and test-correlation for engine or stage attachments.
- Experience in configuration management and formal change processes for ICDs and specifications.
