Overview

Structural Analyst II - New Glenn Payload Accommodations at Blue Origin. This role supports the development and operations of New Glenn, a heavy-lift launch vehicle. The candidate will contribute to structural analysis for high-rate builds of New Glenn's composite payload fairing, payload adapter, and related structures. The position requires on-site presence and collaboration with design, manufacturing, and mission integration teams.

Responsibilities

  • Complete hand calculations and FEM analysis to report margins of safety for primary and secondary aerospace structures
  • Document stress analysis to support nonconformance resolution, design upgrades, and design analysis cycles (loads, modeling, assumptions, etc.)
  • Provide guidance on repair methods and analytical practices for both composite and metallic structures
  • Support designers with stress, stability, and failure analysis and best practices
  • Improve enterprise analysis capabilities, including process automation tools for model creation, strength checks, and analysis report generation
  • Collaborate with internal and external teams throughout design, manufacturing, and mission integration
  • Support cross-organizational teams with input for production activities and configuration development
  • Must be onsite daily and available to support production shifts

Minimum Qualifications

  • B.S. degree in engineering (M.S. preferred) and 3+ years of experience with aircraft, spacecraft, launch vehicle structures, or automotive

  • Basic proficiency with one or more analysis codes (Optistruct preferred, Nastran, Ansys, Abaqus, LS-Dyna)
  • Basic proficiency with Altair Hyperworks
  • Knowledge of aerospace and / or launch vehicle structural requirements
  • Free-body diagrams for internal and reaction load derivation
  • Familiarity with classical aerospace sizing methods (e.g., Bruhn, Niu, Roark)
  • Experience analyzing / dispositioning non-conformances
  • Experience with analyzing composite and / or metallic structures (sandwich panels, skin-stringer, fittings, etc.)
  • Familiarity with composite failure modes and standard test methods (in-plane, interlaminar, shear, fracture, etc.)
  • Experience with Non-Destructive Evaluation techniques
  • Analysis of stability-critical structures (local / global buckling, crippling)
  • Mesh generation experience (e.g., mid-surfacing) and understanding of element types
  • Bolted joint calculations (bolt preload, joint stiffness, shear-tension interaction, insert pull-out)
  • Ability to effectively communicate and collaborate across a diverse team

    • Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with development and / or qualification testing (test requirements, setup / configuration, test predictions, test conduct / monitoring)
  • Process automation experience using scripting languages (Matlab, Python, VBA, Fortran, etc.)
  • Composite design and analysis skills in thermoset, thermoplastic, metal matrix or ceramic matrix composites
  • Experience with Creo or CATIA V5

    • Compensation
