Fluids Systems Engineer III Verified today

About the Role

This role supports the development and operations of New Glenn, a single-configuration heavy-lift orbital launch vehicle capable of carrying people and payloads to low-Earth orbit, geostationary transfer orbit, cislunar, and beyond. Its first stage is fully reusable and was designed from the beginning to be human-capable.

You will work on the design, analysis, development, and qualification of pressurized liquid and gas systems on a reusable launch vehicle operating in extreme environments, from cryogenic to hot gas temperatures. Based at our Florida operations facility, you will provide dedicated technical presence keeping builds on track, catching issues early, and ensuring engineering is represented on the production floor.

You will share the team's impact on detailed mechanical design including requirements, layouts, analysis, component selection, modeling, drafting, manufacturing, and test definition.

What You'll Need

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent technical discipline
• 5+ years of proven professional engineering experience in aerospace, oil and gas, industrial fluid systems, power generation, or similar
• Demonstrated hands-on experience with design, build, or production of fluid system components or assemblies in industrial or aerospace environment
• Proficiency in Creo (PTC) or equivalent 3D CAD platform, with ability to create and modify models and drawings
• Experience producing and interpreting engineering drawings with GD&T per ASME Y14.5
• Solid working knowledge of fluid system components: valves, tubing, fittings, regulators, filters, manifolds, flex hoses, and pressurized hardware
• Experience using SQL to query databases, generate reports, and manage production or supply chain data
• Demonstrated supply chain awareness, including coordinating with vendors, tracking hardware deliveries, and supporting procurement or material review activities
• Experience functioning in technical project manager capacity, maintaining schedules, driving action items, and coordinating across multi-disciplinary teams
• Ability to work on-site in Florida full-time; this role requires consistent physical presence at the Florida operations facility
• Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional working relationships across functions, and contribute to a culture of inclusion and accountability
• 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 (required per export control regulations)

Preferred qualifications:

• Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent
• Direct experience in aerospace production or manufacturing environments, including familiarity with build travelers, non-conformance (NCR) processes, and configuration management
• Hands-on experience with cryogenic fluid systems, including liquid oxygen, liquid hydrogen, liquid methane, and liquid nitrogen, including handling, testing, and insulation requirements
• Relevant experience from oil and gas, LNG, industrial gas, or high-pressure process industries, particularly with large-scale fluid system installation, commissioning, or operations
• Experience with thermal insulation design and installation for cryogenic piping and components (MLI, foam, aerogel blankets, vacuum-jacketed lines)
• Experience with FEA tools (ANSYS preferred) for structural or pressure analysis of fluid system hardware
• Familiarity with thermo-fluid analysis tools such as AFT Fathom/Arrow, Thermal Desktop, REFPROP, or Excel-based fluid models
• Experience with component-level testing in cryogenic or high-pressure gas environments, including test procedure writing and data analysis
• Working knowledge of fabrication processes relevant to fluid systems: orbital welding, tube bending, machined component assembly, pressure/leak testing, and NDE
• Familiarity with aerospace standards applicable to pressurized systems (NASA-STD-7001, AIAA S-080, ASME BPVC, applicable MIL specs)
• Demonstrated ability to perform root cause analysis and author engineering disposition or corrective action documentation (MRB, NCR, waiver/deviation)
