Mechanical Design Engineer II - New Glenn

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!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 the Mechanical Engineer you will be part of a hardworking team of diverse engineers to lead the design of a fluid system on a re-useable launch vehicle. You will engage in all levels of the design cycle of mechanical and fluid system components including conceptual design, requirements, system modeling, layouts, structural analysis, modeling and drafting, manufacturing and integration support, test definition and mission support.To accomplish this, you will be responsible to build engineering documentation including schematics, clear requirements, design reviews, bill of materials, and other necessary deliverables. You will use 3D CAD programs (Creo preferred) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) programs (ANSYS Preferred) to craft and analyze the system. You will use creative thinking and novel manufacturing solutions to tackle sophisticated problems with high pressure, cryogenic, and highly stressed hardware. You will deliver completed designs using the best draft practicing per ASME Y14.5 GD&T standards along with clear and well detailed analysis reports. Following the design efforts, you will lead and participate in component and system level testing and data analysis. To be successful in this role good project management skills are vital including vendor management, scheduling, and basic budget tracking.We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and dedication to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight.
