Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Denver & Boulder, CO

Perform fluids and thermal analyses for lunar vehicle pumps using CFD and hand calculations; provide design recommendations, run secondary flow and thermal models, support test programs, and guide pump development from CAD to flight-qualified hardware. Lead a small fluids-analysis team and optimize pump designs for efficiency, reliability, manufacturability, mass, and leakage.

Develop and communicate structural loads and environments for spacecraft and payloads. Create and correlate finite element and Craig-Bampton models, perform vibroacoustic and dynamic analyses, support test measurement and interpretation, maintain loads data books, and collaborate across disciplines to verify designs and perform trade studies.

Designs permanent magnet AC/DC motors, BLDCs, solenoids, resolvers, LVDTs, RVDTs, and related electromagnetic systems. Performs FEA simulations, optimization, material selection, electrical and mechanical design, documentation, prototyping, testing, troubleshooting, reliability analysis, and root-cause investigations. Collaborates with mechanical, manufacturing, quality, controls, program management, and customers throughout product development and production transition for high-reliability aerospace and motion-control applications.

Design and develop GN&C flight control laws and flight software for lunar vehicles. Prototype algorithms, perform linear and frequency-domain stability analyses, conduct trade studies, and collaborate with subsystems. Support model-based development, testing (HIL/SIL/Monte Carlo), and requirements/interfaces to ensure safe spacecraft attitude and control performance.

Lead the spacecraft bus development for a Blue Ring national security mission: manage design, integration, test, and delivery; coordinate multidisciplinary teams, customers, and stakeholders; hold technical signature authority and ensure programmatic, cost, schedule, and technical objectives are met.

Design, implement, test, and deploy mission operations and ground software for on-orbit vehicles. Collaborate with vehicle, systems, and operations teams to define requirements and architectures, build prototypes, integrate components, run unit and system tests (SIL/HIL), support CI/CD and release processes, produce documentation, and support mission control operations, training, and pre-flight validation.

Define spacecraft autonomy behaviors, software requirements, verification plans, and test cases for Blue Origin’s lunar lander programs. Lead software systems engineering practices, guide team goals, resolve hardware-software integration issues, and collaborate across vehicle, mission design, systems, software, and program teams. Ensure safety-critical software behavior is documented and verified for safe, repeatable human spaceflight.

Creates, maintains, and releases CAD models and engineering data for spacecraft fluid parts, tubing, fittings, assemblies, and installations. Develops layouts and detail designs using Creo Parametric and Windchill, applies GD&T and tolerance analysis, manages large assemblies and BOMs, coordinates fluid hardware placement with subsystem teams, and reviews designs for engineering and manufacturing standards. The role supports the Blue Moon lunar vehicle while balancing cost, schedule, performance, and manufacturability.

Lead design, delivery, and commissioning of production-ready automated manufacturing systems. Define requirements with customers, develop simulations and cost/time models, drive conceptual and detailed designs, manage project scope/schedule/budget, support procurement, and collaborate with engineering teams to deploy scalable automation.

Lead mechanical design and delivery of custom automated manufacturing equipment from concept through commissioning. Design robotic end-of-arm tooling, material handling, fixtures, frames, safety guarding, and production cells; apply mechanics and kinematics, integrate mechanical/electrical/pneumatic systems, troubleshoot during installation, and produce documentation, BOMs, and assembly procedures.
