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 analysts, you will conduct thermal and fluids analysis to define the performance and operations for various spaceflight systems, define hardware requirement and resolve technical challenges. We are looking for thermal/fluids engineers of all skill levels as we expand our portfolio of space vehicles. You will take ownership or support analysis tasks of a complex fluid system by conducting 1D-3D thermal and fluids analysis and contribute to our product life cycle process from early conceptual design through completion of the flight mission. Analysis team contributes to deriving component requirements and system sizing, and analyze flight or ground process. You will be responsible for documentation and maintenance of analysis inputs, models, and presenting results to stakeholders.
You will work directly with NASA and our National Team Partners as part of the Human Landing System (HLS) Sustaining Lunar Development (SLD) program. You will play a key role in developing the Lunar Transportation system that will return humans to the Moon and extend human presence permanently beyond the bounds of Earth.
