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 unique and highly-skilled team, you’ll be responsible for structural analysis of space launch vehicle primary and secondary structures, as well as developing analysis processes. This is a hands-on position that involves all aspects of structural analysis throughout design, assembly, testing, and flight operations. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your dedicated commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable spaceflight.We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!Responsibilities include but are not limited to:Detailed hand calc and FEM analysis of primary and secondary aerospace structuresDocumentation of stress analysis to support release of engineering drawings / documentsDeep understanding of repair methods and analytical practices for both composite and metallic structureProviding technical guidance on design concepts (risk vs. cost vs. performance)Maintain and report on production schedules, budgets and technical statusSupporting cross organizational teams with input for production activities and configuration developmentAnalysis checks for designers and junior structural analysts in stress/stability/fracture analysis and best practicesImproving enterprise analysis capabilities such as creating process automation tools for model creation, strength checks, and analysis report generationMust be onsite daily and available to support production shiftsMinimum Qualifications:Minimum of a B.S. degree (M.S. preferred) in engineering and 8+ years of experience with aircraft, spacecraft, launch vehicle structures, or automotiveDemonstrated proficiency with one or more of the following analysis codes, particularly with reading and manipulating input files: Nastran, Optistruct, AnsysBasic proficiency with Altair Hyperworks productsUnderstanding of FEM modeling techniques (boundary conditions, bolted connections, contact, verification methods, etc.)Experience with development and/or qualification testing (test requirements, setup/configuration, test predictions, test conduct/monitoring, etc.)Knowledge of aerospace and/or launch vehicle structural requirementsFree-body diagrams for internal and reaction load derivationFamiliarity with classical aerospace sizing methods (ex: Bruhn, Niu, Roark)Analysis of 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 analyzing / dispositioning non-conformancesExperience and understanding of Non-Destructive Evaluation techniquesAnalysis of stability critical structures (local buckling phenomenon, global buckling, crippling)Mesh generation (ex: mid-surfacing) and...
