Senior Dynamic Analyst - New Glenn 9x4 Interstage
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to decide what is prose vs list. The responsibilities are a list; we can put each as
- . Minimum qualifications also list; preferred qualifications list; benefits list.
The introductory paragraphs: "At Blue Origin, we envision millions..." etc. Also "This role supports the development and operations of New Glenn..." repeated twice? There's duplication: first paragraph about New Glenn, then second about New Glenn 9x4. We need to preserve all substantive info but not duplicate lines? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines". So we should deduplicate repeated sentences. The two paragraphs are similar but not identical: first mentions New Glenn single-configuration heavy-lift orbital launch vehicle; second mentions New Glenn 9x4 second-generation version. Both are substantive; we should keep both but maybe combine? The instruction says remove duplicated lines, not necessarily merge similar content. The two paragraphs are not identical lines; they have different specifics. So we keep both.
We also have "As part of the Interstage Team, you will join a small, hardworking, passionate, diverse, and accomplished group of experts. You will be responsible for structural dynamic analysis of flight hardware and simulations modeling separation events. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your dedicated commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable spaceflight. We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!" That's prose.
Now responsibilities list: we need to extract each bullet. The responsibilities block starts with "Responsibilities Include" then sentences separated by periods. We'll split into list items.
Let's list them:
- Perform dynamic analysis of the interstage jettison event using LS-DYNA.
- Determine minimum clearance values and study worst-case scenarios.
- Create detailed, high-fidelity, transient models of high energy separation mechanisms.
- Work with mechanical engineers to perform trade studies on separation system architectures.
- Develop component level requirements for separation mechanisms derived from analysis.
- Perform structural analysis of metallic and composite flight hardware during dynamic events.
- Assist in test planning, screening tests, qualification, performing data reduction and analysis.
- Write margin of safety summaries, qualification reports, and other supporting documentation.
- Create databooks to document system level requirements and capture component level performance.
- Present and clearly communicate analysis findings in design reviews and reports.
- Maintain schedules and report on technical status.
- Identify opportunities for improvements and operational cost savings.
Now Minimum Qualifications block: starts with "Minimum Qualifications" then sentences. We need to list each requirement.
Let's extract:
- Minimum of a B.S. degree in engineering or physics and 8+ years of experience in aircraft, spacecraft, automotive, launch vehicle, or defense industry with primary focus on dynamic and/or structural analysis.
- 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.
- Experience on innovative projects such as recent aircraft, launch vehicles, automotive vehicles, or defense systems in one or more of the following areas:
- Spacecraft or launch vehicle separation.
- Vehicle or flight dynamics
- Structural and/or thermal transient analysis.
- Impact or Crash analysis
- Pyrotechnic or ordnance modeling
- Bird strike and blade containment analysis
- Expertise with LS-DYNA
- Familiarity with any industry standard analysis codes: Abaqus Explicit, Ansys, Nastran, Optistruct, Hypermesh, Hypersizer.
- Ability to trade materials and strong understanding of metallic structural analysis.
- Ability to interpret 3D CAD models and 2D engineering drawings.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to a culture of inclusion.
- Collaborative mindset and effective interpersonal skills.
- Strong desire to continuously learn, improve, and drive solutions forward.
- Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to a culture of inclusion. (duplicate line; we should remove duplicated lines). So we keep only one.
Now Preferred Qualifications block:
- M.S. degree or higher in engineering or physics.
- Direct experience with jettisoned launch vehicle systems (payload fairings, spacecraft deployment, booster landing, or similar).
- Experienced in modeling high energy, transient separation events using LS Dyna.
- Strong coding ability using Python, Matlab, or Fortran and experience writing scripts to aid post-processing of output data and automate model setup for industry standard analysis software.
- Experience using high performance computing resources on Linux systems.
Now Pay: "Base Pay Range For WA applicants is $145,188.00 - $203,263.20 Other Site Ranges May Differ". We'll create a Pay section with that sentence.
Benefits: list.
Now we need to decide section headings: "About the role" for introductory descriptive paragraphs (vision, New Glenn description, Interstage Team, etc). Could also be "Role Overview". But instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should use those exact headings when appropriate. We have responsibilities, qualifications (maybe split into Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications? Could combine under Qualifications? But we have both minimum and preferred; we could have a "Qualifications" section with subparts? The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid using more specific headings like Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, but they said use those examples. Safer to use "Qualifications" heading and include both minimum and preferred as lists under it? But we need to preserve all info; we can have two subheadings? Not allowed because only h3 allowed for section headings; we could have multiple h3 sections: "Minimum Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications". The examples are not exhaustive; we can use other headings if needed. The instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests those are examples; we can use others as needed. I think it's fine to have separate h3 for Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications.
We also need a section for "About the role". We'll put the introductory prose there.
Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Application Close Date", "Culture Statement", "Export Control Regulations", "Background Check", "Equal Employment Opportunity", "Affirmative Action". Also remove duplicated lines like repeated citizenship requirement.
Now produce HTML fragment.

About the role
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 supports the development and operations of New Glenn, a single-configuration, heavy-lift orbital launch vehicle capable of routinely carrying people and payloads to low-Earth orbit, geostationary transfer orbit, cislunar, and beyond. Its first stage is fully reusable, and the vehicle was designed from the beginning to be human-capable. This role supports the development and operations of New Glenn 9x4, a second-generation version of Blue Origin’s historic New Glenn heavy-lift orbital launch vehicle. The vehicle will be capable of routinely carrying people and payloads to low-Earth orbit, geostationary transfer orbit, cislunar, and beyond.
