Aerospace Systems Engineer III (Structures & Mechanisms)

At Blue Origin we develop reusable space vehicles within a culture of safety and collaboration. This role is part of the Lunar Permanence business unit building sustainable infrastructure for crew and cargo transport to the lunar surface. The Aerospace Systems Engineer III owns requirements and verification for structural and mechanical elements of lunar flight hardware.

Daily work includes developing and allocating subsystem requirements while maintaining traceability to mission objectives. You define interfaces across mechanical electrical and software boundaries and execute integration across design analysis manufacturing and test teams. Verification strategies are planned with the verification team using test analysis inspection or similarity methods.

You partner with Structures Mechanisms Avionics Thermal GN&C Propulsion Manufacturing and Test teams to deliver flight-ready hardware. The position addresses lunar environments including thermal extremes dust vacuum launch loads and landing shock. Technical reviews such as SRR PDR CDR TRR and FRR are supported with status on requirements verification and risks.

Root cause analysis is performed on anomalies through FRACAS activities with corrective actions implemented to prevent recurrence. Systems engineering processes are improved in areas of requirements quality configuration control and interface management. This work directly advances Blue Origin's mission of enabling millions of people to live and work in space.
