About this role

At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. This role is part of the Lunar Permanence business unit developing Blue Moon landers and sustainable lunar infrastructure. We seek an aerospace systems engineer to craft the gas system for the Lunar Transporter spacecraft across its full lifecycle.

Work includes definition, interfaces, conceptual design, detailed design, component development, assembly, verification, and operations. A successful candidate understands fluid systems, systems engineering practices, fluid dynamics, and compressible flow for space vehicles. The position supports requirements, subsystem testing, ground, launch, and mission CONOPS under a lead engineer.

You will aid responsible engineers with subsystem flow down, working with vehicle and mission groups. Responsibilities cover subsystem requirements, CONOPS flow downs, states and modes, and interface management. The role works directly on the Transporter Vehicle within Lunar Permanence.

Bring technical expertise, leadership skills, and dedication to quality to impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required. Play a key role in the Lunar Transportation system returning humans to the Moon and extending presence beyond Earth.

Requirements

B.S. in Aerospace, Mechanical, Physics, Systems Engineering or related technical subject area
3+ years of proven experience in fluids, propulsion, or aerospace systems
Experience with fluid/gas components i.e., solenoid valves, directional valves, manifolds
Understand fluid systems, systems engineering practices, fluid dynamics, and compressible flow for space vehicles

Responsibilities

Work at significant technical depth on complex subsystems with some oversight as part of the Transporter Gas Sub-System
Support the development and execution of component and subsystem tests
Coordinate plans for subsystem verification test and analysis
Review and approve engineering changes from a system safety and reliability perspective
Understand and apply systems engineering fundamentals across the development cycle including concept development, requirements, design, analysis, validation, integrations, safety, configuration management, verification, and test
Integrate between fluids and propulsion subsystem and overall system level vehicle design, analysis, software, and operations
Ensure timely updates and communication of system level architecture diagrams and schematics
Perform Failure Modes and Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)
