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!  
-In this hands-on role, you will be based entirely on-site at our Los Angeles facility, collaborating closely with the Space Resources Program team. We are looking for a highly skilled and experienced Senior Structural Engineer to own critical structural design decisions, from requirements definition through detailed design, FEA, and test. You will lead the configuration and analysis of flight and prototype structures, drive credible technical calls with incomplete data, and partner with subsystem and thermal leads to rapidly converge on robust, producible solutions.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment and is comfortable balancing technical risk, schedule pressure, and evolving program needs.
** Responsibilities:
*** Own structural design and configuration of pressurized and unpressurized structures and critical interfaces.
* Perform detailed design, analysis, development, and testing of structural hardware for both new development and production/sustainment initiatives.
* Plan and execute advanced linear and nonlinear FEA (ANSYS Structural), including thermal–structural coupling, model validation, and margin assessment.
* Develop and evaluate structural concepts; perform trade studies with emphasis on retiring design risk and focus on manufacturability, cost, mass, and schedule.
* Build and maintain 3D CAD models, detail part drawings, assemblies, installations, and interface control documents (ICDs).
* Generate engineering drawings and technical documentation that meet ASME standards and program requirements.
* Define and own test plans, specifications, and other documentation for the development, qualification, and acceptance of flight hardware.
* Participate in and/or lead subsystem test planning, execution, data reduction, and correlation of test results with analysis.
* Work with multi-functional teams (e.g., subsystem leads, thermal, GNC, avionics, manufacturing, supply chain) to select materials, processes, and suppliers and to resolve integration issues.
* Perform access studies, loss-of-clearance analyses, configuration/layout studies, and develop solutions for mission-unique requirements.
* Lead problem resolution for structural issues discovered in analysis, testing, manufacturing, or operations; drive decisions and convergence in compressed decision cycles.
* Maintain and report on schedule, budget, and technical status for your owned hardware and analyses.
* Coach, mentor, and technically assist junior engineers; provide technical leadership and cross-functional coordination.
* Identify and implement improvements to structural design practices, analysis workflows, and operational cost and cycle-time reductions.
* Support the development and modification of equipment, fixtures, and tooling as required to build and test structural hardware.
* Prepare and present clear technical content and recommendations to internal and external stakeholders, including program and executive leadership.
* Collaborate with internal and external partners throughout design, manufacturing, test, and mission integration.
** Minimum Qualifications
*** B.S. in Mechanical, Aerospace, Structural or related engineering discipline.
* 10+ years of structural design and FEA analysis experience.
* Proven experience owning structural design decisions (not solely in an analysis-support role); demonstrated responsibility for end-to-end hardware from requirements through flight.
* Advanced proficiency in ANSYS…
