SLD Lunar Fluids & Thermal Systems Principal Analysis Engineer

At 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 a diverse team of collaborators, doers, and problem-solvers who are relentlessly committed to a culture of safety. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable space flight. Join us in lowering the cost of access to space and enabling Blue Origin’s vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth.As part of a hardworking team of diverse analysts, you will conduct thermal and fluids analysis to define the performance and operations for various spaceflight systems, define hardware requirements and resolve technical challenges. We are looking for thermal/fluids engineers of all skill levels as we expand our portfolio of space vehicles. You will take ownership of fluid system analysis by conducting 1D-3D thermal/fluid analysis and contribute to our product life cycle process from early conceptual design through completion of the flight mission. Analysis team contributes to deriving component requirements and system sizing and analyze flight or ground processes. You will be responsible for documentation and maintenance of analysis inputs, models, and presenting results to stakeholders.Qualifications
