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 New Shepard program. New Shepard is a reusable suborbital rocket system designed to take astronauts and research payloads past the Karman line - the internationally recognized boundary of space. Through operational reusability, New Shepard supports our mission of lowering the cost of access to space. As part of a hardworking team of diverse engineers, you will be responsible for the full lifecycle of Crew Capsule structure. This includes the design, analysis, testing, operation, and maintenance of Crew Capsule structural components. You will facilitate part fabrication and vehicle assembly by reviewing work orders, coordinating with suppliers, and guiding Integration Engineers / technicians. You will support flight operations and vehicle maintenance through post-flight data reviews and inspections. You will also identify and implement engineering changes to improve the vehicle. Specific to this role, we are seeking an engineer that has solid design experience with aerospace composite structure and the ability to provide technical guidance and direction to less experienced engineers. We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and dedication to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required! Responsibilities include but are not limited to: Participate in the entire design cycle of structural and mechanical subsystems, including conceptual and detailed design, trade studies, structural analysis, development testing, and qualification. Generate 3-D models, component drawings, assembly drawings, and interface control documents. Develop component specifications and manage suppliers. Define assembly and test of development and flight hardware. Participate in subsystem level testing including planning, execution, data reduction and analysis. Work with Manufacturing Planning and Tooling to develop the subsystem assembly and integrations plans. Provide manufacturing and production support. Participate in the development and purchase of new equipment and tooling. Work with multi-functional teams that are responsible for selecting materials, manufacturing processes, and suppliers to produce world class aerospace hardware. Provide technical guidance, mentoring, and direction to less experienced engineers. Lead multi-functional and cross-discipline teams to tackle problems and implement changes. Lead the development and purchase of new equipment, tooling, etc. Maintain and report on activity schedule, budget, and technical status. Find opportunities for operational improvements and cost savings. Support flight operations and vehicle maintenance. Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor of Science degree or higher in engineering. 8+ years of meaningful experience. Familiarity with aircraft, spacecraft, or launch vehicle structures. Knowledge in material selection, compatibility, and manufacturing techniques. Strong mechanical design and integration skills using CAD software. Ability to conduct structural analysis using classical hand-calculation and finite element techniques. Practical understanding of GD&T (ASME Y14.5) and tolerance analysis. Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and strengthen our culture of inclusion. Preferred Qualifications: 10+ years of relevant experience.
