MKVehicle Thermal and Fluids Integrator

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 Lunar Permanence business unit, which develops Blue Origin's Blue Moon landers and related products.

To further Blue Origin's mission of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth, we are building sustainable infrastructure for our transport of crew and cargo from Earth to the lunar surface. This role is part of the Lunar Permanence Business Unit. To further Blue Origin's mission of having millions of people living and working in space, we are building the sustainable infrastructure for transport of crew and cargo from Earth to the lunar surface.

As part of a hardworking team of engineers, you will serve as the integrator of the thermal and fluid systems of the MK1 Lunar Lander.

• Own and maintain integrated vehicle-level thermal and fluid system requirements and lead their verification and validation
• Define and manage integrated thermal and fluid interface control documents (ICD) across vehicle subsystems
• Own and maintain the vehicle leak budget, ensuring all contributions are tracked, dispositioned, and within acceptable limits
• Serve as the vehicle level component temperature limits owner, ensuring all hardware operates within defined thermal margins across all mission phases and has been tested to the necessary levels
• Define and manage design parameters related to integrated thermal and fluid systems
• Define proof and leak test scope and success criteria for pressurized fluid systems across the vehicle
• Own or support vehicle test scope for integrated vehicle tests involving thermal and fluid systems, including integrated vehicle thermal vacuum testing, tanking tests, and proof and leak tests
• Define test objectives and success criteria in test matrices, traced to requirements, design parameters, budgets, and interfaces
• Review test procedures involving pressurized cryogenic and non-cryogenic fluid systems and support test execution
• Review and interpret test data to assess performance and health at both the system and component level, and to anchor and validate analytical models
• Support test and operation efforts by investigating root cause and corrective actions and dispositioning non-conformances and event reports related to thermal and fluid systems
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders to define requirements, dependencies, and resource needs associated with delivering integrated thermal and fluid systems and executing associated testing
