Responsibilities
Lead the mechanical design and development of cryogenic electric motors for NASA's Artemis lunar lander systems. This includes driving electromagnetic design, thermal management, and collaborating with suppliers to certify high-reliability spaceflight components.
Requirements
Requires a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering and 8+ years of experience in motor design for industrial or space applications. Expertise in electromagnetic simulation, mechanical fundamentals, and high-volume manufacturing is essential.
Full job description
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!
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.
We are seeking an experienced Motor Mechanical Design Engineer to lead the design and development of cryogenic electric motors for NASA's Artemis lunar lander systems. You'll drive electromagnetic design, thermal management strategies, and performance analysis while collaborating with internal teams and external suppliers to source, qualify, and certify high-reliability components for spaceflight. This role offers the opportunity to contribute directly to humanity's expansion into space through innovative propulsion technologies.
Key Responsibilities:
Design mechanical components of cryogenic motors (stators, rotors, windings, integration) and iterate designs to optimize performance, manufacturability, and cost
Conduct stress analysis on motor components under operational and lunar mission loads
Lead engineering activities across winding technologies, magnet materials, lamination methods, and electrical interconnections
Guide full product lifecycle development from requirements through manufacturing, testing, and flight qualification
Collaborate cross-functionally from concept through prototyping to mass production
Communicate technical concepts effectively across all senior stakeholders and functional teams
Minimum Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field (master's preferred)
8+ years of hands-on experience designing, manufacturing, and testing electrically driven motors for industrial or space applications
Strong expertise in mechanical engineering fundamentals: materials, heat treatments, statics, dynamics, and mechanics of materials
Demonstrated experience with electromagnetic simulation tools and high-volume motor component manufacturing (stamping, winding, welding)
Deep understanding of motor design optimization: torque, power, efficiency, and thermal management
Desired:
Cryogenic motor design experience
Advanced proficiency in CAD design (Creo preferred) and PLM systems, such as BOM structuring and engineering change management
Proficiency in FEA analysis (Ansys), MATLAB, and/or Python for performance modeling
Skilled in GD&T, tolerance stack analysis, and precision manufacturing for demanding environments
Base Pay Range for:
CA applicants is $145,188.00 - $203,263.20
CO applicants is $133,500.00 - $186,898.95
