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 supports the development and operations of New Glenn, a single-configuration, heavy-lift orbital launch vehicle capable of routinely carrying people and payloads to low-Earth orbit, geostationary transfer orbit, cislunar, and beyond. Its first stage is fully reusable, and the vehicle was designed from the beginning to be human-capable.

We are a diverse team of collaborators, doers, and problem-solvers who are relentlessly committed to a culture of safety. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable space flight. Join us in lowering the cost of access to space and enabling Blue Origin's vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth.

As part of a hardworking team of diverse specialists, technicians, and engineers, you will design structures for various spaceflight systems. You will share in the team's impact on the design of the Stage 1 Tank. The team is hiring Structural Design Engineers at levels 2, 3, and 4, which vary in professional experience and skills. Candidates' experience and qualifications will determine the level. Employees will report to the Manager of Mechanical, Materials & Structural Engineering within the Stage 1 Tanks team.

We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!

Responsibilities:

1. Lead engineering scope to close including planning, detailed design, engineering release, procurement, and test.
2. Ownership of the entire design cycle of structure components, including conceptual and detailed design, trade studies, structural analysis, build, development testing, and qualification.
3. Develop, release, and maintain a full CAD and drawing engineering definition package.
4. Support procurement activities to support vehicle build schedules.
5. Support integrated test objectives, data review, and reporting.
6. Perform or facilitate emergent analysis for non-conformances.
7. Participate in subsystem level testing including planning, execution, data reduction, and analysis.
8. Work with multi-functional teams across multiple work sites that include design, analysis, materials, processes, structures, fluids, systems, procurement, and manufacturing.

Minimum Qualifications:

1. B.S. degree or higher in mechanical, structural, or other relevant engineering field.
2. 3-5+ years in professional engineering experience.
3. Strong fundamentals in mechanics of materials, stress/strain, statics, and finite element analysis.
4. Experience with large primary or secondary structures.
5. Experience with material selection, compatibility, and metallic manufacturing techniques & product forms (e.g., sheet metal, machining, etc).
6. Familiarity with tolerance, GD&T, and design for manufacturability.
7. Strong mechanical design and integration skills using 3D CAD software.
8. Strong product data management (PDM) skills (e.g., Windchill, TeamCenter, etc).
9. Hands-on experience with hardware
