Fluid Systems Design Engineer II: Upper Stage & Payload Fairing - Glenn

3 weeks ago – Be among the first 25 applicants. Salary range updated; remember the Final date to receive applications is not fixed and will close when 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.

In this role you will lead the design, development, manufacturing, and testing of fluid systems for rockets! You will engage in all levels of the design cycle, including conceptual design, requirements definition, thermo‑fluid modeling, structural layout and analysis, integration, test, and mission support. You will use creative thinking and novel manufacturing solutions to solve complex problems with high pressure, cryogenic, and highly stressed hardware.

We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe Guitar. Passion for our mission and vision is required!

• Design fluid component hardware to meet cost, performance, and schedule constraints.
• Design and route complex fluid subsystems (e.g., pressurization, pneumatics, propellant utilization).
• Create and own the development, acceptance, and qualification test activities for your hardware.
• Work with fluid components (solenoid valves, pneumatic valves, regulators, pressure vessels, and instrumentation).
• Collaborate closely with other groups to ensure systems integrate smoothly, resolve issues rapidly, and manage risk.
• Exhibit strong project‑management晚上, including supplier management, scheduling, and production interfacing.
• Work with 3D CAD programs (Creo preferred) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) programs (ANSYS Preferred).
• Deliver completed designs using best drafting practices per ASME Y14.5 GD&T standards along with clear documentation and analysis reports.

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or equivalent.
• 3+ years of professional engineering experience with complex fluid systems.
• Demonstrated experience with spacecraft or launch‑vehicle fluid system component design.
• Solid understanding of fluid components such as valves, tubing, pressurized hardware, flex elements, seals, and fittings.
• Proficiency in crafting engineering drawings with GD&T (ASME Y14.5).
• Knowledge of fabrication, integration processes, and quality control relative to tubing/piping, machined components, and welded hardware.
• Working knowledge of material properties and treatments.
• Experience diagnosing and fixing fluid hardware.

• Proficiency in 3D CAD programs (Creo Pro/E and Pro/E Piping).
• Experience in a rapid and scrappy hardware development environment.
• Component testing and qualification experience.
• Experience with design for reliability, low‑cost manufacturability, assembly‑ability, operability.
• Experience with thruster systems.
• Experience with cryogenic uniquely systems (LOX and LH2).
• Experience performing stress analysis.
