Perth, Western Australia Blue Origin Full time
Thermal Analysis Engineer III

At Blue Origin, we're pushing the boundaries of space exploration and development. As a Thermal Analysis Engineer III, you'll play a critical role in designing and qualifying the most advanced liquid rocket engines being developed today.

As part of our Engines Thermal Analysis group, you'll work alongside experts in heat transfer and flow network modeling to develop and maintain 2D and 3D finite element analyses of turbopump assemblies and individual components. Your expertise in heat transfer will be essential in predicting the thermal states of turbomachinery components and assemblies through mission transients, directly impacting pump performance and safety.

Responsibilities include:

  • Thermal analysis of rocket engine turbomachinery at varying levels of maturity and detail
  • Meticulous bookkeeping of model status and changes through time
  • Defining and anchoring thermal predictions of turbomachinery components and assemblies to test data
  • Advocating for methods that will improve component and analysis performance and reliability
  • Technical and career mentorship of less experienced engineers
  • Peer review of thermal analyses on all of Blue Origin's active engine programs

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline is required
  • Minimum of 6 years of industry experience in heat transfer design or analysis
  • Experience with ANSYS Classic or ANSYS Mechanical for thermal analysis
  • Solid understanding of heat transfer, flow, and thermodynamic first principles
  • Good communication skills and proficiency with productivity tools
  • 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.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Advanced degree (master's or higher) in an engineering discipline with a focus on thermal or fluid sciences
  • Experience using flow network software to analyze turbomachinery systems such as blade and vane passages or film cooling, combustor cooling designs, or disk cavities
  • Prior job experience in thermal/fluid testing and choosing the appropriate instrumentation for a given test intent
  • Demonstrated knowledge surrounding cryogens and phase change heat transfer

Compensation range for on-site WA applicants is $111,690-$156,366

Compensation range for on-site CA applicants is $111,690-$156,366
