About Blue Origin

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 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. This role supports the development and operations of New Glenn, a single-configuration, super-heavy-lift orbital launch vehicle capable of routinely carrying people and payloads to low-Earth orbit, geostationary transfer orbit, cislunar, and beyond. As part of a hardworking team of engineers, technicians, and specialists, you will design, analyze, and integrate fluid systems for aerospace applications. This role supports the development of pressurized fluid systems from concept through production, including tube routing, component selection, and pressure system structural and safety analysis for flight hardware. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience working in a shop floor environment with applied experience with pressurized fluids systems, and the ability to work in a collaborative environment. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your dedicated commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable spaceflight.

Special Mentions Relocation provided Travel expected up to 5-10% of the time Interviews will include a technical assessment.

Responsibilities

• Primary engineering focal supporting fluid system integration and test at rocket factory.
• Will serve as an extension of the design engineering team onsite at the rocket factory supporting:
• Failure and anomaly investigations that arise during build and test
• Design for manufacturing feedback on system designs
• Non-conformance support
• On-demand design support for any issues that arise with fluid and routed systems
• Incorporate lessons learned from test and integration into improvements to fluid system design and architecture
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate fluid systems into vehicle structure.
• Prepare technical documentation and present findings to stakeholders.
• Participate in design reviews and provide technical input for continuous improvement.

Minimum Qualifications

• Four-year aerospace or mechanical engineering degree (or similar discipline in manufacturing engineering)
• 5+ years of experience in a similar role
• Experience with solid modelling, piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), and configuration control of engineering and documentation.
• Experience understanding fabrication and installation drawings.
• Knowledge of standard components, installation, and fabrication methods of piping systems (pipe stock, fittings, connections, valves, fasteners, structural members, fittings, welding, etc.)
• Knowledge of typical use, constraints, and specification of fluid components typical in tubing and piping systems (valves, regulators, pumps, etc.).
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate with teams composed of multiple roles and disciplines to achieve a common goal.
• Hands-on experience operating and troubleshooting mechanical and/or piping systems.
• Familiarity with test equipment, such as multimeters, dew point meters, vacuum equipment, regulator panels.
• Experience troubleshooting fluids hardware.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with creating process hazards analyses, job hazards analysis and formal risk evaluation.
• Experience with design and operation of typical aerospace fuel, oxidizer, and high-pressure pneumatic systems.
• Experience with design, operations, and maintenance of cryogenic systems.
