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 Blue Origin Engines business unit, where our focus is the design, development, manufacturing, and testing of engines and propulsion systems. Built for multiple uses, our family of engines is powering the next generation of rockets for commercial, civil, national security, and human spaceflight.

As part of a hardworking team of engineers, you will design, analyze, and optimize complex engine components, assemblies and systems. You will work with cross-functional teams to develop innovative solutions for challenging thermal problems across various applications. A successful candidate will apply their knowledge to analyze and investigate steady state and transient thermal responses of the engine to provide integrated engineering team with requirements to efficiently operate and maintain engine across the operating envelope required by customers. You will be responsible for thermal design and analysis of components, assemblies and systems to support fabrication, testing, production and operational life cycle.
