From Blue Origin's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed.
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!
Blue Origin is pioneering the future of space-based communications with TeraWave, a revolutionary satellite communications network designed to deliver symmetrical data speeds of up to 6 Tbps anywhere on Earth. This multi-orbit constellation will consist of optically interconnected satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) and medium Earth orbit (MEO), providing enterprise-grade connectivity for critical operations worldwide.
We are seeking a Senior Thermal Engineer to lead thermal design and analysis for those arrays.
Thermal performance is one of the defining engineering challenges of this program. Active phased arrays concentrate a great deal of power into a small area, and on orbit there is no air to move it — every watt leaves by conduction and radiation through hardware you design. Getting that right determines how much capacity the array can deliver and how long it lasts. This is a role where thermal analysis drives the architecture rather than validating it after the fact.
You would join early, with real ownership. The thermal discipline is being built out now, requirements and models are still maturing, and the person in this role will shape both the design and the practices the team works to. Expect to work the problem end to end: architecture, modeling, hardware definition, test, and correlation.
Two things make this different from most spacecraft thermal work. First, scale: we are building a constellation, not a spacecraft, so mass and performance are weighed against recurring cost and manufacturability at volume, and the sourcing strategy for thermal hardware is part of the engineering job. Second, breadth: you will work across both orbital and terrestrial environments — vacuum and radiation-dominated heat transfer on the satellite, convection, solar loading, and weather exposure on the ground terminal.
Few thermal engineers have done both well. We would like you to.
