Senior Structural Analyst - New Glenn

Blue Origin LLC • Seattle, WA • 2h ago

Application close date:
Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed.
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.
As part of a hardworking team of engineers you will be responsible for the structural analysis of launch vehicle hardware including landing gear, control surfaces, and mechanisms for multiple spaceflight systems. You will share in the team's impact on all aspects of structural integrity throughout the entire product lifecycle, including concept design, testing and flight operations.
Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
Finite element analysis as well as strength checks using classical hand calculation
Conduct failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) for critical components
Collaborate with design engineers to optimize structural designs for weight, strength, and manufacturability
Documentation of structural analysis to support the 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
Providing input for configuration development and trade studies as needed
Minimum Qualifications:
Minimum of a B.S. degree in engineering and 4+ years of professional experience with aircraft, spacecraft, or launch vehicle structures
Experience with classical strength analysis methods (Bruhn, Niu, Roark, Shigley, etc.)
Experience with one or more finite element modeling (FEM) packages (ABAQUS strongly desired, or HyperWorks)
Understanding of FEM modeling techniques (boundary conditions, bolted connections, contact, verification methods, elastic, and elastoplastic analysis, etc.)
Proven process automation experience using scripting languages (MATLAB, Python, etc.)
Preferred Qualifications:
Proven understanding of fatigue/fracture (NDE methods, fail-safe vs. safe life, NASA-STD-5019)
Ability to understand and build free-body diagrams for internal and reaction load derivation
Familiarity with classical aerospace sizing methods (ex: Bruhn, Niu, Roark)
Nonlinear finite element analysis of stability critical structures (local buckling phenomenon, global buckling, crippling)
Bolted joint hand calculations (bolt preload, joint stiffness, shear-tension interaction, insert pull-out, NASA-STD-5020, etc.)
Experience writing detailed design and analysis reports
Experience analyzing/dispositioning non-conformances
Compensation Range for:
CA applicants is $145,188.00 - $203,263.20
CO applicants is $133,500.00 - $186,898.95
WA applicants is $145,188.00 - $203,263.20
