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 diverse and hardworking team of engineers, you will support the development and qualification of new rocket engines and thrusters for various spaceflight systems. You will impact these systems by providing high quality engineering support by developing and anchoring system and component loads. You will need to be proficient at cross-discipline interactions to ensure proper loads model assumptions to ensure correct generation of desired outputs. You will need to be excellent at the use of finite element models to generate component and system loads. You will need to be skilled at finite element model reduction techniques and the development of forcing functions from test and historical data. Day to day activities will include prediction of loads throughout propulsion systems due to low frequency and static system loads, validation of loads and forcing functions using test data, and generation of forcing functions from development tests. Much of this work will be done with Finite Element Models using NASTRAN and MATLAB. You will also work closely with a variety of systems to understand our test data and provide input into test plans so that you get the data you need. Finally, you will contribute to our loads and dynamics process and tool development. Minimum Qualifications: Minimum of a B.S. degree in mechanical, aerospace or civil engineering 12+ years of experience in the prediction/validation of low frequency (Finite Element Modeling experience NASTRAN and MATLAB proficiency Ability to solve a variety of static and dynamic structural problems using physics-based analytical methods (hand calculations, in-house tools, and 3rd party commercial analytical tools) Spacecraftand launch vehicle loads experience Experience with the following commercial software tools: HYPERMESH, ANSYS, NASTRAN DMAP, ATA's iMAT (MATLAB Toolbox), PYTHON Experience with time domain, frequency domain, and random vibration statistical analysis Experience with instrumentation (Accelerometers, strain gauges, pressure transducers, load cells), data acquisition systems, and signal processing Experience with modal testing, parameter identification, FEM correlation Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. Compensation range for on site WA applicants: Analyst - Propulsion Prin is $162,466 - $227,452 Compensation range for on site CA applicants: Analyst - Propulsion Prin is $162,466 - $227,452 Other site ranges may differ Inclusivity Statement Don't meet all desired requirements? Studies have shown that some people are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single desired qualification. At Blue Origin, we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace, so if you're excited about this role but your past experience doesn't align perfectly with every desired qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
