At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. 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 is part of Blue Origin corporate functions, providing centralized support across Blue Origin business unit teams, functions, and locations.
As a Senior Facilities Design Structural Engineer, you will lead structural design for Blue's Florida facilities — new buildings, expansions and modifications to existing facilities, and the ongoing sustainment of the structures that support manufacturing, processing, test, and launch operations.
You will own projects from concept through construction: analyzing and designing steel and concrete structures, foundations, crane-supporting structures, and equipment supports; verifying load paths when operating facilities are modified for new equipment; and assessing and repairing structures exposed to Florida's coastal, corrosive, hurricane-prone environment.
You will serve as engineer of record on your projects, review the work of outside consultants, and mentor engineers earlier in their careers. This is a hands-on technical role for an engineer who wants ownership of complex, unusual structures and wants to see them built.
Responsibilities
· Lead structural design for new buildings and expansions, including industrial and high-bay buildings, crane runways and supports, equipment foundations, platforms, and pipe and utility supports.
· Design structural modifications to existing facilities, including load-path verification and strengthening for new cranes, equipment, tooling, and roof or floor loads.
· Perform condition assessments of operating facilities, evaluate corrosion and concrete deterioration, and develop repair and remediation designs.
· Perform structural analysis for gravity, wind and hurricane, seismic, crane, vibration, and other loading conditions.
· Prepare and seal structural calculations, drawings, and specifications as engineer of record, in compliance with applicable codes and Authority Having Jurisdiction requirements.
· Review structural deliverables from outside A/E consultants for quality, code compliance, and constructability.
· Coordinate with civil, electrical, mechanical, fire protection, and architectural disciplines, and with manufacturing, tooling, and ground support equipment teams, to translate needs into structural requirements.
· Support construction: review submittals, shop drawings, and RFIs; perform site observations; and resolve field issues.
· Provide engineering support to facilities maintenance and operations teams on structural questions in operating facilities.
· Contribute to Blue's structural design criteria, standard details, and design guides.
· Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior engineers and designers.
Minimum Qualifications
· Bachelor's degree in Civil or Structural Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
· Active Professional Engineer (PE) license in at least one U.S. state, with the ability to obtain Florida licensure.
· 10+ years of progressive structural engineering design experience, with a focus on industrial, manufacturing, infrastructure, or heavy commercial facilities.
· Experience as engineer of record producing sealed structural calculations and construction documents.
· Experience designing steel and concrete structures and foundations.
· Experience evaluating existing structures and designing modifications or repairs.
· Working knowledge of IBC / Florida Building Code, ASCE 7, ACI 318, and AISC 360.
· Proficiency with structural analysis and design software…
