Resumo da oferta

Blue Origin is seeking a Lunar Operations Mechanical Engineer (Analysis) in Merritt Island, FL to lead structural, mechanical, thermal, and ECLSS analyses for lander hardware and tooling. You will partner with design and manufacturing engineers to validate tooling before use and support disposition of non-conformances.

You will write clear analysis records, define safety margins, and influence early design trades to achieve lighter, safer, and more reliable hardware in a fast-paced aerospace

Qualificações

• Experience performing structural and mechanical analyses for aerospace hardware.
• Proficient in finite element analysis (FEA) to evaluate strength, stiffness, fatigue, and margins.
• Ability to model thermal performance and thermal growth for hardware and tooling.
• Familiarity with loads, safety factors, and acceptance criteria for hardware dispositions.

Responsabilidades

• Structural and mechanical analysis: hand calcs and FEA for tooling and lander hardware.
• Lifting and handling equipment: size and verify lifters and fixtures to ASME BTH-1 / B30.20 and project specs; define tests.
• Thermal analysis: steady-state and transient models for installations and fixtures; address thermal growth.
• Fluids and ECLSS analysis: pressure drop, flow, margins for vessels and lines; support test rigs.
• Loads and environments: define load cases and factors of safety for design and test.
• Write the record: prepare analysis reports with clear margins and limitations; peer-review.
• Influence design early: collaborate with CAD designers for trades and weight reduction.
• Non-conformance disposition support: analyze defect conditions and develop repair analyses.

Lunar Operations Mechanical Engineer - Analysis

life insurance, parental leave, paid time off, paid holidays, 401(k), stock options

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 is part of Blue Origin Operations, which is comprised of Integrated Supply Chain, Test Operations, Safety, Quality, and Mission Assurance. This includes Manufacturing and Supply Chain support across all Blue Origin facilities.

As part of a talented and hardworking team of engineers, you will partner with engineering analysis teams across structural, mechanical, fluids, ECLSS and thermal subsystems at Blue Origin Lunar Plant 1. You'll own manufacturing tooling and fixtures analysis. You will work every day with design engineers, manufacturing engineers and technicians. Beyond validating tooling design before use, your analysis directly informs disposition of non-conformances on human-rated hardware.

Responsibilities

• Structural and mechanical analysis: hand calcs and FEA for strength, stiffness, stability, fatigue, and fastener and joint margins, on tooling and lander hardware.

• Lifting and handling equipment: size and verify below-the-hook lifters and handling fixtures to ASME BTH-1 / B30.20 and Blue requirements; define proof tests and acceptance criteria.

• Thermal analysis: steady-state and transient models for hardware installs, thermal hardware and process tooling (bake-out, cure and thermal-cycle fixtures), including thermal growth and distortion.

• Fluids and ECLSS analysis: pressure drop, flow and pressure-vessel / line margin checks; support ECLSS hardware and fluid test rigs.

• Loads and environments: define handling, transport, test and thermal load cases and factors of safety with design, test and safety.

• Write the record: clear analysis reports with assumptions, margins and limitations; peer review others' work; correlate models to proof and test data.

• Influence design early: work in the CAD with designers, run quick trades, and steer toward lighter, simpler, safer designs.

• Non-conformance disposition support: perform analysis of defect conditions found during manufacturing, whether due to damage or fitment issues, and develop standard repair analyses that support updated acceptance criteria.

• State-of-the-art analysis capability development: develop analysis techniques in emerging fields such as softgoods and biomechanical applications.
