Descrizione del lavoro

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

Competenze

• 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.

Mansioni

• 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.
