Blue Origin - Seattle, WA
posted 3 months ago
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! This role is part of the Blue Origin Engines business unit, where our focus is the design, development, manufacturing, and testing of engines and propulsion systems. Built for multiple uses, our family of engines is powering the next generation of rockets for commercial, civil, national security, and human spaceflight. As part of a hardworking team of diverse engineers, you will help design and develop rocket engines and propulsion systems that meet Blue Origin's launch vehicle program requirements for various spaceflight systems. You will share in the team's impact on all aspects of the structural analysis work of a rocket engine program. 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! The Engines System Analysis Team is focused on engine performance and internal fluid flow problems with advanced lumped parameter models. The models owned by our team are critical to defining test sequences, predicting test behavior, ensuring engine performance meets requirements, and defining upgrades. These engines will be used to power our vehicles that fly to space. This role is part of the system-level analysis team within the Engines Design Office. As a key propulsion analyst, you will be performing analyses, supporting rocket engine testing, and interacting with both Chief Engineers and component owners. You will build and run steady state and transient analytic models of engines and other test articles to predict how they operate. To be part of our team, you will be expected to create and use 1D fluid analysis software and codes to perform advanced analysis of rocket engine systems; and help support the development of processes and tools in Python and Matlab. To be successful on this team, you will need to be able to work collaboratively to solve problems while owning independent projects to completion. We are looking for someone with demonstrated skills in fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, software development, system-level thinking, who is eager to learn, and enjoys modeling rocket engines!
