Job summary

Blue Origin is seeking an experienced vehicle-level fluid systems integrator for MK1, responsible for fluid system requirements, ICDs, and leak budgets to ensure readiness for flight. You will own verification activities and lead tests such as thermal vacuum and cryogenic tanking, interfacing with cross-functional teams across the Lunar Permanence unit.

The role requires a bachelor’s degree and 5+ years in aerospace fluids, plus hands-on experience in testing, verification, and data

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Physics, Systems Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 5+ years of experience in aerospace fluids, propulsion, or thermal/fluid systems design, integration, or test.
• Experience developing, decomposing, and tracing requirements through verification.
• Experience defining test objectives or reviewing test procedures for pressurized fluid systems, including proof and leak testing.
• Experience interpreting test data to assess system and component performance.
• Ability to earn trust and maintain positive and professional relationships.

Responsibilities

• Maintain vehicle-level fluid system requirements for assigned systems and trace them through verification and validation.
• Define and manage integrated fluid interface control documents (ICDs) across vehicle subsystems, covering pressures, flow rates, and fluid media.
• Define and manage design parameters for the integrated fluid systems.
• Own and maintain the vehicle leak budget, making sure every contribution is tracked, dispositioned, and within acceptable limits.
• Own cleanliness and oxygen compatibility verification for fluid systems, making sure hardware meets required cleanliness levels and oxygen service requirements before integration.
• Define proof, leak, and fluids channelization 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, including integrated vehicle thermal vacuum testing, tanking tests, fluids channelization tests, and proof and leak tests.
• Define test objectives and success criteria in test matrices, traced to requirements, design parameters, budgets, 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 the system and component level, and to anchor and validate analytical models.
• Support test and operations by investigating root causes, driving corrective actions, and dispositioning non-conformances and event reports for thermal and fluid systems.
• Work with internal stakeholders to define the requirements, dependencies, and resources needed to deliver integrated fluid systems and run the associated testing.
