Fluid Systems Engineer III

Application Close Date

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!

Join our Luxembourg team where your expertise directly contributes to humanity's greatest adventure, while maintaining the work-life harmony that makes great engineering possible. Be part of a collaborative, inclusive culture where safety and technical excellence drive every decision as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight from the heart of Europe.

We are a strong team of collaborators, doers, and problem-solvers who are relentlessly committed to a culture of safety. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable space flight. Join us in lowering the cost of access to space and enabling Blue Origin’s vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth.

This role supports the development of GS2-4E, a heavy-lift orbital launch vehicle capable of routinely carrying people and payloads to low-Earth orbit, geostationary transfer orbit, cislunar, and beyond.

In this role you will be responsible for leading the design, development, manufacturing and testing of fluid systems for rockets! You will engage in all levels of the design cycle including conceptual design, requirements definition, thermo-fluid modeling, structural layout and analysis, integration, test and mission support. You will use creative thinking and novel manufacturing solutions to solve complex problems with high pressure, cryogenic, and highly stressed 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.

• Design fluid component hardware to meet cost, performance and schedule constraints.
• Design and route complex fluid subsystems (i.e., pressurization, pneumatics, RCS)
• Create and own the development, acceptance and qualification test activities for your hardware.
• Work with fluid components (i.e., solenoid valves, pneumatic valves, regulators, pressure vessels and instrumentation)
• Work closely with other groups to ensure your systems work together, resolving issues at an accelerated pace while managing risk
• Good project management skills are vital, including supplier management, scheduling, and production interfacing.
• Work with 3D CAD programs (Creo preferred) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) programs (ANSYS Preferred)
• Deliver completed designs using best draft practicing per ASME Y14.5 GD&T standards along with clear and well documented analysis reports

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or equivalent
• 5+ years of professional engineering experience with complex fluid systems or similar
• Demonstrated experience with launch vehicle component design
• Solid understanding of fluid components such as valves, pressure vessels, flex elements and fittings
• Knowledge of fabrication, integration processes and quality control relative to tubes/piping and machined components
• Working knowledge of materials and treatments
• Experience diagnosing and fixing hardware

• Experience in a rapid and scrappy hardware development environment
• Experience with cryogenic systems (LOX and LH2)
• Experience in designing for low cost manufacturing
• Working knowledge of cryogenic material properties and testing
• Experience with aircraft, spacecraft, or launch vehicles in the detail design of aerospace or equivalent type fluid systems and components
