Principal Aerospace Engineer at Blue Origin
Alabama, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhilip Hahn is a Principal Aerospace Engineer with a Ph.D. and over a decade of hands-on experience designing and validating hypersonic and launch vehicle systems from wind tunnels to flight. He blends deep aerothermal expertise (MINIVER, CBAERO, LES/DES CFD) with integrated simulation and trajectory work in FORTRAN, C++, and MATLAB/Simulink, supporting everything from suborbital New Shepard flights to orbital launch casualty analyses. Philip has led multidisciplinary teams and test campaigns across Mach regimes and has driven aeroheating and fluctuation analyses using coupled CFD-to-MINIVER workflows he developed. His background spans industry, government, and commercial space—holding technical leadership roles at Blue Origin, Lockheed Martin, NASA, and specialist hypersonics firms—so he pairs research-grade methods with operational flight test experience. Based in Alabama, he mentors early-career engineers while still contributing to day-of-flight simulation and mission assurance for complex launch systems. A not-obvious strength: he combines practical wind tunnel and flight-test leadership with low-level code and tool integration that bridges simulation, testing, and real-world flight operations.
