Résumé du poste

Blue Origin's Emerging Systems is seeking a Mechanisms Engineer II to design, analyze, and qualify precision mechanical systems for the TeraWave constellation. You will contribute to gimbal assemblies, pointing mechanisms, and related hardware under mentorship in a collaborative team.

Qualifications include a Bachelor's in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering and experience with CAD and FEA, GD&T, and space qualification testing.

Qualifications

• Experience with gimbal assemblies or precision mechanism design
• Proficiency in 3D CAD (Creo/NX/SolidWorks) and FEA tools (ANSYS/NASTRAN/Comsol)
• Knowledge of mechanism kinematics, dynamics, and structural analysis
• Familiarity with space qualification testing (vibration/shock/thermal vacuum)
• Familiarity with GD&T and tolerance stack-up analysis
• Awareness of DFM and DFA principles
• Strong collaboration and communication under mentorship

Responsabilités

• Design and develop precision gimbal assemblies and pointing mechanisms for space-based optical terminals
• Develop mechanism performance requirements, error budgets, and design margins across structural/thermal/dynamic domains
• Conduct design trade studies for gimbal configurations (mass, volume, stiffness, pointing accuracy, lifetime)
• Support mechanism qualification activities including testing in shock, vibration, and TVAC environments
• Prepare mechanism design documentation, analysis reports, and test procedures
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams on integration, harness routing, and interface definition
• Apply mechanism design principles while growing under senior engineers
• Support production transition activities including tolerance analysis and DFM/DFA reviews
• Explore bearing selection, lubrication strategies, and FMEA/reliability analyses
