Propulsion Engineer III - Engine Valves and Mechanisms

We are a diverse team of collaborators, doers, and problem-solvers who are relentlessly committed to a culture of safety. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable space flight. Join us in lowering the cost of access to space and enabling Blue Origin's vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth.

As part of a diverse and hardworking team of engineers, you will design and develop valves and mechanisms (main propellant cryogenic valves; hot gas turbine bypass valves; ancillary pneumatic valves for propellants, pneumatics, and hydraulics; TVC actuators; and related hardware) for various rocket engines and spaceflight systems. You will be responsible for a valve's complete product life-cycle from initial requirements through flight qualification including design, manufacturing, test support, performing test data reviews, processing non-conforming hardware and writing technical reports. You will need to have a background in fluid mechanics, heat transfer and structural mechanics to be successful. This position will report directly to a valves and mechanisms manager within the Engines business unit.
