Fluids Test Integrator II

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 be supporting the design, development, and testing of hardware for the New Glenn second stage (2E) as part of our Product Engineering Test Programs team! You will engage in all levels of the design cycle including trade studies and conceptual design, requirements definition, structural layout and analysis, integration, test and mission support. You will use creative thinking and novel manufacturing solutions to solve complex problems across various second stage subsystems which include fluid systems, high pressure gas, cryogenic propellants, post combustion products, and highly stressed structural hardware.

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!

Responsibilities:

• Conduct trade studies for 2E subsystem design and future upgrades across multiple product areas.

• Design, model, and analyze complex second stage subsystems including thermal fluid systems, structural components, and propulsion hardware.

• Drive hardware development through manufacturing and testing on schedule and within budget.

• Support implementation of designs through the entire product lifecycle, from initial trade studies through test, qualification, and on-orbit operations.

• Support and participate in component and system level testing and data analysis following design efforts.

• Develop and implement automation solutions across design, analysis, and testing workflows to streamline processes, reduce cycle time, and enable the team to scale efficiently toward New Glenn launch rate targets., Applicants for employment at Blue Origin must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e. current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S.as a refugee or granted asylum.
