Job summary

Blue Origin seeks an experienced engineer to take technical ownership of fluid subsystems and perform stress analysis for complex pressurized piping across large thermal gradients. You will derive loads, coordinate with civil/structural teams, and collaborate with production to resolve manufacturing challenges.

You will ensure operations align with design intent, guide engineers, and coordinate product structures and configuration control while partnering with Supply Chain for cost and schedule

Qualifications

• Minimum of a B.S. degree in engineering (Mechanical, Aerospace, or Chemical desired).
• 5+ years of professional experience within a similar sector (aerospace, petrochemical, power, etc).
• Demonstrated expertise in design and development of pressurized piping system architectures.
• Strong technical fundamentals.
• Proficiency in pipe stress analysis and associated tools (Autopipe, CAESAR, etc).
• Experience in performing fluid system sizing calculations, layout, component and material selection, and deriving concept of operations.
• Experience with hydraulic modeling tools (AFT Fathom/Arrow, HYSYS, etc.)
• In-depth knowledge of industry standards including ASME B31.3, ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC).
• Experience generating plumbing and instrumentation documents (P&IDs).
• Experience guiding and mentoring less experienced engineers

Responsibilities

• Technical ownership of fluid subsystems.
• Perform stress analysis for complex pressurized piping systems across large thermal gradients.
• Derive support loads and coordinate support schemes with civil/structural engineers.
• Work with internal and external production organizations to resolve challenges encountered during manufacturing or procurement of fluid systems.
• Work with operations team to fabricate, install, activate, and operate fluid systems.
• Ensure operations and maintenance activities are conducted consistently with design intent and defined requirements.
• Collaborate with technical designers and configuration managers to establish product structures and configuration control of owned subsystems.
• Work directly with Supply Chain to ensure cost and schedule effective sourcing.
