Fluids Systems CAD Designer II - New Glenn

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 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 hardworking team of designers and engineers, you will be responsible to create models, drawings, and configurations of launch vehicle hardware with a focus on mechanical and fluid systems including secondary structures, piping, mechanisms and components. You will share in the team’s impact on all aspects of design, manufacturing, testing and integration. You will provide CAD and PLM support to generate models and drawings, create design alternatives, build interface control models and drawings, and deliver geometry suitable for creating Finite Element Models (FEM). You will incorporate drafting standards and standard drawing notes based on company, program, and industry standards. In addition, you will perform model and drawing check activities during release reviews. Finally, you will build and manage the design standards for the New Glenn Fluids Subsystem. The best Blue Origin technical designers are versatile and skilled with experience using Creo’s supplemental extensions, such as AFX, Piping and Cabling, as well as proficient in manipulating associated Windchill product structures and change notices.

We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and dedication to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!

Minimum Qualifications:

• 3+ years proven experience in the design of automotive, aircraft, spacecraft, or launch vehicle fluid systems
• Strong mechanical design and integration skills using Creo Parametric / ProE
• Experience managing large CAD assemblies and associated drawings
• Proficient in creating detailed part drawings
• Knowledge of standard components, installation and fabrication methods of piping systems (pipe stock, fittings, connections, valves, fasteners, structural members, fitting, welding, etc.)
• Experience in the drawing generation, checking, and release processes
• Experience in standard fits, tolerance stacks, and GD&T analysis (ASME Y14.100, Y14.5, Y14.41)
• Experience with welding processes and AWS weld symbols
• Work autonomously in a dynamic and fast paced work environment

 Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience selecting standard aerospace hardware, fasteners, fittings, seals, etc.
• Windchill PLM experience
• Knowledge of fabrication and integration processes for machined components, sheet metal and welded assemblies
• Extensive practice in Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA)
• Solid understanding of aerospace materials and treatments
• Management of components through the complete product lifecycle
• Experience working in a multi-functional team responsible for selecting materials, manufacturing processes, and developing the design to produce world-class engineered products
• Knowledge of fluid components typical in propellant systems such as valves, regulators, bellows, pumps, etc.
