Thermal Analyst Sr. - ACE

Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until 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 is part of Advanced Concepts and Enterprise Engineering (ACE), supporting Blue Origin’s mission of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. The team fosters innovation and drives engineering workflows of the future, shared solutions and standards, simplicity and lower costs, and manufacturable design. As part of a hardworking team of engineers, you will contribute to the definition and development of spacecraft thermal control systems.

You should be comfortable working in a fast-paced and often uncertain environment, contributing to innovative solutions, while demonstrating personal leadership, technical competence, and attention to detail. We are looking for system and/or component level analysts to advance the thermal systems of a spacecraft. For system level transient thermal analysis of spacecraft in ground, launch, Earth orbit, cis-lunar space, and lunar orbit using Thermal Desktop, typical tasks include capturing system inputs, performing system level trade studies, performing temperature and heat transfer predictions, and documenting results.

For component level analysis, you will work with card level designers, system level thermal analysts, and systems engineers to ensure adequate temperature control of in-house and vendor procured electronic devices and assemblies. Contribute to a team of Thermal Engineers and Analysts simultaneously developing groundbreaking spacecraft. 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!

• Developing system-level thermal analysis models of spacecraft at varying levels of maturity and detail with minimal supervision
• Anchoring thermal predictions to test data
• Communicating and collaborating clearly and effectively with multiple teams both as a customer and provider of fluid and thermal data
• Documenting your work for future reference and later refinement
• Advocating for methods that will improve component and analysis performance and reliability

• Minimum of a B.S. degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering
• 8 year relevant Thermal Engineering/Analysis experience with Thermal Desktop
• Solid understanding of thermal fundamentals
