Job summary

Blue Origin in Washington state seeks an MK1 Vehicle Thermal and Fluids Integrator to define and manage the integrated thermal and fluid system requirements across the full vehicle lifecycle, from design through verification and validation.

You will own the thermal margin, leak budget, ICDs, test scope, and support both cryogenic and non-cryogenic fluid systems, collaborating with internal stakeholders to deliver mission-ready lunar lander hardware.

Qualifications

• B.S. degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related field.
• 5+ years of systems engineering experience with a focus on thermal and fluid systems for spacecraft.
• Strong understanding of integrated thermal and fluid spacecraft systems including active and passive thermal control systems.

Responsibilities

• Own and maintain integrated vehicle-level thermal and fluid system requirements and lead their verification and validation.
• Define and manage integrated thermal and fluid interface control documents (ICD) across vehicle subsystems.
• Own and maintain the vehicle leak budget, ensuring all contributions are tracked, dispositioned, and within acceptable limits.
• Serve as the vehicle level component temperature limits owner, ensuring all hardware operates within defined thermal margins and tested to necessary levels.
• Define and manage design parameters related to integrated thermal and fluid systems.
• Define proof and leak test scope and success criteria for pressurized fluid systems across the vehicle.
• Own or support vehicle test scope for integrated vehicle tests involving thermal and fluid systems.
• Define test objectives and success criteria in test matrices, traced to requirements and interfaces.
• Review test procedures involving pressurized cryogenic and non-cryogenic fluid systems and support test execution.
• Review and interpret test data to assess performance and health at system and component level.
• Support test and operation efforts by investigating root cause and corrective actions and dispositioning non-conformances.
