Shire Jobs

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 diverse team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! 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. This role supports the development and operations of New Glenn, a single-configuration, heavy-liftorbital launch vehicle capable ofroutinelycarrying people and payloads to low-Earth orbit, geostationary transfer orbit, cislunar,and beyond.Its first stage is fully reusable, and the vehicle was designedfrom the beginningto be human-capable. In this role you will be responsible for leading the design, development, manufacturing and testing of fluid systems for rockets! You will engage in all levels of the design cycle including conceptual design, requirements definition, thermo-fluid modeling, structural layout and analysis, integration, test and mission support. You will use creative thinking and novel manufacturing solutions to solve complex problems with high pressure, cryogenic, and highly stressed hardware. 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: Design and route complex fluid subsystems (i.e., pressurization, pneumatics, propellant utilization) Strong understanding of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics Work with fluid components (i.e., solenoid valves, pneumatic valves, regulators, pressure vessels and instrumentation) Author component specifications and manage suppliers through design, development, qualification and delivery of flight hardware Work closely with other groups to ensure your systems work together, resolving issues with calculated risk Following design efforts, you will lead and participate in component and system level testing and data analysis Good project management skills are vital, including vendor management, scheduling, and budget tracking Work with REFPROP, SINDA/FLUINT and Thermal Desktop or other fluid modeling software Work with 3D CAD programs (Creo preferred) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) programs (ANSYS Preferred) Deliver completed designs using best draft practicing per ASME Y14.5 GD&T standards along with clear and well documented analysis reports Minimum Qualifications: Minimum of a B.S. degree in engineering 3+ years of professional engineering experience with complex fluid systems Demonstrated experience with spacecraft or launch vehicle fluid system component design or test Experience with aircraft, spacecraft, or launch vehicles in the detail design of aerospace or equivalent type fluid systems and components Solid understanding of fluid components such as valves, pressure vessels, flex elements and fittings Knowledge of fabrication, integration processes and quality control relative to tubes/piping and machined components Working knowledge of materials and treatments Experience fixing fluids hardware Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to a culture of inclusion Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
