Lunar MK2 Integrated Analysis Engineer

Blue Origin's Lunar Permanence business unit develops the Blue Moon lander and related cargo/crew transport infrastructure. This role supports MK2 development as part of the team building sustainable lunar surface operations.

You will perform integrated system analysis to inform vehicle-level design decisions and lay the foundation for continuous analysis updates as the design evolves. You will be a key resource for design engineers to understand the impact of proposed design changes on the rest of the system.

This position requires strong systems thinking, comfort in fast-paced development, and change management discipline. You will work across all subsystems to ensure analysis remains aligned with configuration baselines and provide development leadership with clear insight into analysis assumptions, system health, and technical risks.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as integrating authority for propellant-consuming systems across the vehicle, acting as trusted partner and technical negotiator between subsystem teams to resolve interface conflicts and ensure system-level compatibility.
  • Rapidly execute and report systems analysis to inform vehicle-level design changes.
  • Update and validate analytical models as analysis ramps up with demand.
  • Develop analysis pipelines to leverage automation and keep analyses synced during development.
  • Work across business units to identify representative testing to inform analytical models.
  • Develop test objectives and success criteria to anchor analytical models.
  • Develop new analytical models as needed to inform design decisions.

Minimum Qualifications

  • B.S. degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Industrial Engineering, or related technical field.
  • 5 or more years of experience in design engineering or closely related technical role.
  • Demonstrated experience executing analysis activities in complex system development environment.
  • Strong experience identifying change impacts across an entire space vehicle, including technical, schedule, and risk dimensions.
  • Experience working in a regulated environment (aerospace, government, nuclear, medical, etc.).
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with ability to work across engineering disciplines.
  • Self-directed, highly organized, capable of balancing multiple priorities simultaneously.
  • Ability to earn trust, influence without authority, and operate effectively in collaborative team environment.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Advanced degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or related engineering discipline.
  • Spacecraft subsystem development, qualification, certification, or operations experience.
  • Experience with Gitlab, MATLAB, Python, PLM/CM tools, and lifecycle data management systems.
  • System model development experience.
  • Experience with verification planning, evidence coordination, and verification closure notices.
  • Familiarity with Windchill, Creo, Confluence, Jira, or similar tools.
  • Experience developing and documenting processes and procedures.
  • Experience with configuration management of part libraries and complex product structures.
  • Proficiency with data processing or automation tools (e.g., Python, advanced Excel).
  • Familiarity with data analytics and visualization for program health reporting.
  • Experience leveraging AI or automation to improve systems engineering or change management workflows.
