GS9E Stage Fluids System Engineer

Responsibilities

This role supports the development and operations of New Glenn, a single‑configuration heavy‑lift orbital launch vehicle capable of routinely carrying people and payloads to low‑Earth orbit, geostationary transfer orbit, cislunar, and beyond. As part of a hardworking team of engineers, you will work on the design, analysis, development, and qualification of pressurized liquid and gas systems on a reusable launch vehicle in extreme environments from cryogenic to hot gas temperatures.

Your responsibilities will include detailed mechanical design, requirements, layouts, analysis, component selection, modeling, drafting, manufacturing, and test definition, as well as engineering release, component/system development testing, and vendor management.

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or equivalent
• 10+ years of proven experience in the design of aerospace fluid or mechanical systems (Senior Career)
• Experience in 3D CAD programs (Creo preferred)
• Experience in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tools to analyze pressurized systems and secondary structures (ANSYS preferred)
• Proficiency in crafting engineering drawings with GD&T (ASME Y14.5)
• Proven understanding of fluid components such as valves, tubing, and pressurized hardware
• Solid understanding of fabrication, integration processes, and quality control techniques relevant to tubes, machined components, and welded hardware.

• Master’s degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or equivalent
• Experience designing systems with Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Methane in liquid and/or gaseous states
• Experience in system layout or component design for launch vehicles or ground cryogenic and pressure systems
• Experience with thermo‑fluid solver applications Thermal Desktop (Sinda Fluint), AFT (Fathom/Arrow), Excel‑based models, REFPROP
