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. 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 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. As part of a unique and highly-skilled team, you'll be responsible for structural analysis of space launch vehicle primary and secondary structures; as well as developing analysis processes. This is a hands-on position that involves all aspects of structural analysis throughout design, assembly, testing, and flight operations. Responsibilities: Detailed hand calc and FEM analysis of primary and secondary aerospace structures Documentation of stress analysis to support release of engineering drawings / documents Providing technical guidance on design concepts (risk vs. cost vs. performance) Maintain and report on activity schedule, budget and technical status Supporting other teams and team members with inputs for configuration development and trade studies Analysis checks for designers and junior structural analysts in stress/stability/fracture analysis and best practices Improving enterprise analysis capabilities such as creating process automation tools for model creation, strength checks, and analysis report generation Minimum Qualifications: Minimum of a B.S. degree (M.S. preferred) in engineering and 3+ years of experience with aircraft, spacecraft, launch vehicle structures, or automotive Demonstrated proficiency with one or more of the following analysis codes, particularly with reading and manipulating input files: Nastran, Optistruct, Ansys Basic proficiency with Altair Hyperworks products Understanding of FEM modeling techniques (boundary conditions, bolted connections, contact, verification methods, etc.) Experience with development and/or qualification testing (test requirements, setup/configuration, test predictions, test conduct/monitoring, etc.) Knowledge of aerospace and/or launch vehicle structural requirements Free-body diagrams for internal and reaction load derivation Familiarity with classical aerospace sizing methods (ex: Bruhn, Niu, Roark) Basic composites and composite analysis knowledge Analysis of composite and/or metallic structures (sandwich panels, skin-stringer, fittings, etc.) Familiarity with composite failure modes and standard test methods (in-plane, interlaminar, shear, fracture, etc.) Analysis of stability critical structures (local buckling phenomenon, global buckling, crippling) Mesh generation (ex: mid-surfacing) and understanding of element types Bolted joint calculations (bolt preload, joint stiffness, shear-tension interaction, insert pull-out, etc.) Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to a culture of inclusion Must be a U.S. ci
