Sr Environments Engineer - Glenn

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 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. Its first stage is fully reusable, and the vehicle was designed from the beginning to be human-capable.

As part of a small team, you’ll provide technical expertise and analytical solutions to support the development of new space vehicles and test/launch facilities. You’ll need proficiency in shock, vibration, and acoustic environment measurement/prediction/analysis, and related quantitative methods.

• Prediction of launch vehicle vibration, shock, and acoustic environments due to engine, aerodynamic, pyrotechnic, or other sources, using empirical and numerical modeling methods.
• Shock, vibration, and acoustic measurement/data processing and interpretation of ground and flight tests.
• Development, supervision, troubleshooting, and verification/validation of component, sub-system, and system level dynamic environment tests.
• Other high and low frequency loads tasks as required.
• Payload/space vehicle mission integration and interaction with external Customers.

• B.S. degree in Mechanical or Aerospace engineering.
• 8+ years of relevant engineering experience.
• Passion for launch vehicle mission high frequency environments development/validation/testing.
• Solid foundation of vibroacoustic and structural static/dynamic fundamentals, including PSD, Grms, SPL, OASPL, SRS, VRS, SDOF, FDS, static/dynamic equilibrium, stress/strain/modulus, etc.
• MATLAB proficiency.
• Experience with Git Lab and Jira ITS.
• Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to a culture of inclusion.
• Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

• 5+ years of experience in launch and/or space vehicle vibroacoustic prediction/analysis/measurement/testing.
• Python coding proficiency.
• Experience with the following commercial numerical modeling software tools:
  Wave6, ANSYS, NASTRAN.
• Development of web-accessible databases with API.
