Blue Origin LLC
Structural Analyst III - New Glenn Stage 2 & PA
Blue Origin LLC, Seattle, Washington, us, 98127
Structural Analyst III - New Glenn Stage 2 & PAAt Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We’re working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. Join our diverse team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight!
We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!
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 unique and highly-skilled team, you’ll be responsible for structural analysis of production space launch vehicle primary and secondary structures; as well as developing analysis processes. This is a hands-on position that involves all aspects of structural analysis throughout design, assembly, testing, and flight operations.
Responsibilities:
Complete hand calc and FEM analyses to report margins of safety for primary and secondary aerospace structures.
Documentation of stress analysis to support release of engineering drawings/documents.
Deep understanding of repair methods and analytical practices for both composite and metallic structure.
Providing technical guidance on design concepts (risk vs. cost vs. performance).
Maintain and report on production schedules, budgets and technical status.
Supporting cross-organizational teams with input for production activities and configuration development.
Analysis checks for designers and junior structural analysts in stress/stability/fracture analysis and best practices.
Improving enterprise analysis capabilities such as creating process automation tools for model creation, strength checks, and analysis report generation.
Provide technical guidance and on-site support for manufacturing, production, and integration activities.
Work with spacecraft customers in a technical capacity and own structural integration cycles.
Prepare technical content and present to internal and external customers.
Collaborate with internal and external teams throughout design, manufacturing, and mission integration.
Perform research, develop concepts, and run trade studies.
Minimum Qualifications:
Minimum of a B.S. degree (M.S. preferred) in engineering and 6+ years of experience with aircraft, spacecraft, launch vehicle structures, or automotive.
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.
Demonstrated expertise with one or more of the following analysis codes, particularly with reading and manipulating input files: Nastran, Hyperworks, Optistruct, Ansys.
Understanding of FEM modeling techniques (boundary conditions, bolted connections, contact, verification methods).
Experience with development and/or qualification testing (test requirements, setup/configuration, test predictions, test conduct/monitoring).
Knowledge of aerospace and/or launch vehicle structural requirements.
Free-body diagrams for internal and reaction load derivation.
Familiarity with classical aerospace sizing methods (ex: Bruhn, Niu, Roark).
Analysis of composite and/or metallic structures (sandwich panels, skin-stringer, fittings, isogrid, joints).
Familiarity with composite failure modes and standard test methods (in-plane, interlaminar, shear, fracture).
Experience with analyzing/dispositioning non-conformances.
Analysis of stability critical structures (local buckling phenomenon, global buckling, crippling).
Mesh generation (ex: mid-surfacing) and understanding of element types.
Bolted joint calculations (bolt preload, joint stiffness, shear-tension interaction, insert pull-out, shims).
Strong understanding of composite and metallic structural analysis fundamentals.
Able to effectively communicate and collaborate across a diverse team.
Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to a culture of inclusion.
Strong desire to continuously learn and improve.
Self-motivated with a strong desire to learn, take ownership, and drive projects to completion.
Collaborative mindset and effective interpersonal skills.
Experience with managing a qualification test campaign.
Preferred Qualifications:
Demonstrated process automation experience using scripting languages is highly desired (Matlab, Python, VBA, Fortran).
Composite design and analysis skills in any thermoset, thermoplastic, metal matrix or ceramic matrix composites.
Experience with Creo and Windchill.
Experience with CATIA V5.
Experience with fabrication utilizing automated fiber placement (AFP) and tape laying (ATL).
Experience and understanding of Non-Destructive Evaluation techniques.
Experience developing materials allowables.
Compensation Range:
WA applicants is $111,690.00-$156,366.00
Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed.
Inclusivity Statement:
Don’t meet all desired requirements? At Blue Origin, we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every desired qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway.
Export Control Regulations:
Applicants for employment at Blue Origin must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e. current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
Benefits:
Benefits include: Medical, dental, vision, basic and supplemental life insurance, paid parental leave, short and long-term disability, 401(k) with a company match of up to 5%, and an Education Support Program. Paid Time Off: Up to four (4) weeks per year based on weekly scheduled hours, and up to 14 company-paid holidays.
Equal Employment Opportunity:
Blue Origin is proud to be an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer and is committed to attracting, retaining, and developing a highly qualified, diverse, and dedicated workforce.
