Join a dedicated team of engineers at Blue Origin, where you will lead the design, analysis, development, and qualification of next-generation components for the New Glenn Rocket. Your work will focus on critical systems, including valves, regulators, accumulators, actuators, manifolds, mechanisms, pumps, and other mechanical devices essential to our vehicles and mission success.

At Blue Origin,you’llapply your technicalexpertiseand leadership to shape the future of space exploration. This role offers the opportunity to make a tangible impact on the New Glenn Rocket program, working alongside a talented team committed to innovation, quality, and mission success.

We are looking for someone to apply their technicalexpertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positivelyimpactsafe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision isrequired!

Key Responsibilities:

• Oversee the complete lifecycle ofcomponentsystems, from defining requirements and interfaces through conceptual and detailed design, development, assembly, verification, qualification testing, operation, manufacturing support, and post-flight serviceability.

• Ensure all cost, schedule, and performance targets are achieved through meticulous planning and execution.

• Collaborate with suppliers and internal Blue Origin teams toidentify,procure, and integrate high-quality components.

• Perform sizing, material selection, and analyses (fluid flow, thermal, structural) to ensure performance under pressure, vibration, temperature, and mechanical loads.

• Support fabrication, installation, and testing of flight hardware, working closely with suppliers and support organizations.

• Contribute to all aspects of mechanical design, including requirements definition, layouts,componentselection, modeling, drafting, manufacturing, and test planning.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelors degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related field.

• 8+ years of proven experience designing fluid, mechanical, or electro-mechanical systems for aerospace or similar high-reliability applications.

• Proficiencyin 3D CAD software (Creo preferred) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tools (ANSYS preferred).

• Expertisein creating engineering drawings with GD&T per ASME Y14.5 standards.

• Knowledge offluid or mechanical components such as valves, regulators, accumulators, mechanisms, or pumps.

• Strong interpersonal skills, witha track recordof building trust and fostering professional collaboration.

• Passion for advancing safe human spaceflight and alignment with Blue Origins mission.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Masters degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related field.

• Experience in the aerospace or space industry, particularly with launch vehicles or ground systems.

• Deep understanding of fabrication, integration, and quality control for tubes, machined parts, and welded assemblies.

• Expertisein designing systems for cryogenic fluids (e.g., hydrogen, oxygen, methane) or hydraulic systems in liquid/gaseous states.

• Proficiencyin thermo-fluid analysis tools, such as Thermal Desktop (SindaFluint), AFT (Fathom/Arrow), REFPROP, or Excel-based models.

• Knowledge of materials properties, treatments, and aerospace-grade materials.

• Demonstrated ability to manage supplier relationships, drivecomponentdevelopment, and support testing.
