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 diverse team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! This role is part of the New Shepard program. New Shepard is a reusable suborbital rocket system designed to take astronauts and research payloads past the Karman line - the internationally recognized boundary of space. Through operational reusability, New Shepard supports our mission of lowering the cost of access to space. Join Blue Origin as the Structural Engineering Manager, leading a diverse team of collaborators, doers, and problem-solvers committed to a culture of safety. This role directly impacts the history of human space exploration by ensuring the detailed attention required for safe and repeatable space flight. Contribute to lowering the cost of access to space and enabling Blue Origin's vision of millions living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. Key Responsibilities: You will lead, mentor, and manage the structural design team responsible for designing the Forward and Aft Modules of the New Shepard Propulsion Module. You must be a doer, 'not my job' is not in your vocabulary. You can identify problems, their root cause, and do not stop until there is a solution in place. As you mentor and grow your team through delegation of responsibilities and challenges proportional to their capabilities and growth potential. You foster a collaborative and inclusive culture while never compromising on accountability for execution. You will guide the team through system architectural decisions, requirements derivation, and system performance modeling for the 4.3 block upgrade. You will closely coordinate with manufacturing and integration support to ultimately deliver a performant system on time, on budget. Concurrently, you will be the accountable party for assessing flight readiness for fielded 4.2 vehicles, conducting verification audits of components and subsystems, and execute component and subsystem-level testing, planning, execution, data reduction, and analysis. To achieve this, you will plan hiring needs of your team, and subsequently hire the best team to meet the challenge. You will align your sub-system architecture to a development plan that matches program budgets, ensuring cost-effectiveness. You are accountable for the creation and maintenance of detailed schedules for your team's work, allocation of team resources to the program plan, ensuring timely delivery of milestones. Finally, you clearly provide detailed progress reports to senior leadership, stakeholders, and customers. Minimum Qualifications: B.S. degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering. 5+ years of proven experience in launch vehicle, aviation, or automotive development. Demonstrated expertise in sizing and design of pressurized and non-pressurized structures using metallic and composite materials. Knowledge of aerospace systems engineering principles and processes, including requirements derivation, configuration and change management, and verification planning and execution. Proficiency in structural analysis, including hand calculations and finite element analysis (ANSYS preferred). Skilled in design release processes, PDM, and 3D CAD programs (CREO or Pro/E preferred). Excellent written and verbal communication skills for both technical reviews and strategic discussions. Ability to earn trust, maintain professional relationships, and contribute to an inclusive culture. 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.
