Job summary

Blue Origin seeks an MK1 Vehicle Thermal and Fluids Integrator to own and drive the integrated thermal and fluid system requirements for the MK1 Lunar Lander. You will lead verification, manage ICDs, leak budgets, and testing scope from design through verification and flight readiness.

You will coordinate with the Vehicle Systems Engineering team and internal stakeholders to ensure robust thermal performance across mission phases.

Qualifications

• 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.
• Experience with thermal and fluid analysis and model anchoring and validation.
• Strong knowledge of spacecraft fluid and thermal components including cryogenic tanks, accumulators, fluid lines, valves, regulators, fittings, and heaters.
• Experience with interface definition and management across complex spacecraft systems.
• Experience planning, reviewing, and supporting execution of integrated tests on spacecraft involving pressurized fluid systems.
• Experience leading anomaly resolution and root cause investigations on flight hardware.

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 across vehicle subsystems.
• Own and maintain the vehicle leak budget and ensure dispositions are within limits.
• Serve as the vehicle level component temperature limits owner and confirm thermal margins across mission phases.
• Define test objectives and success criteria for thermal/fluids tests and tie them to requirements.
• Support test execution and investigate root causes for non-conformances and events.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to define requirements, dependencies, and resources for testing and integration.
