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 is part of the New Shepard program.

New Shepard is a reusable suborbital rocket system designed to take astronauts and research payloads past the Kármán 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 dynamic and dedicated team of Mechanical and Fluid Engineers, you will play a crucial role in developing systems to test rocket engines and space flight vehicles. You will contribute significantly to all aspects of test stand design. Your responsibilities will include designing fluid and piping systems for test facilities, coordinating with suppliers, and overseeing the construction, installation, and commissioning of new test facilities.

Occasional travel to other sites (up to 25%) may be required to support operations.

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 include but are not limited to:
* Define piping system layouts (routing, support locations, etc.).
* Perform stress analysis on piping and tubing systems.
* Define and specify pipe support components (anchors, guides, spring hangers, etc.).
* Design and analyze structural supports.
* Lead and own the design of high-pressure gas and cryogenic fluid systems
* Conduct Process Hazard Analysis activities for fluid systems (HAZOP).
* Manage suppliers, coordinating cost, schedule, and technical design requirements.
* Provide remote and on-site support during the fabrication, installation, and start-up of new facilities or upgrades.
* Coordinate with customers to refine project scope and requirements.
* Mentor newer engineers and perform peer reviews as appropriate based on experience level.

Minimum Qualifications:

* Bachelors Degree in Mechanical, Chemical, Aerospace Engineering, or related field.
* 5+ years (Level III), 2+ years (Level II) of industry experience
* Demonstrated expertise in piping system design and analysis
* Competency with Bentley Auto Pipe and/or CAESAR
* Demonstrated expertise in pipe support selection, design, and analysis
* Practical knowledge of standard installation and fabrication methods for piping systems (pipe stock, fittings, connections, fasteners, welding, etc.).
* Knowledgeable of fluid system components (e.g., valves, regulators, and pumps for cryogenics, propellants, and other fluids).
* Practical knowledge of ASME B31.3 and ASME BPVC codes.
* Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to a culture of inclusion.

Preferred Qualifications:

* Advanced Engineering degree
* Experience with AFT Arrow/Fathom or equivalent software packages.
* Experience with AutoCAD or AutoCAD Plant/P&
* Experience with Pro Engineer/Creo, Windchill, and Pro Piping.
