About The Position

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 the Lunar Permanence business unit, which develops Blue Origin’s Blue Moon landers and related products. To further Blue Origin's mission of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth, we are building sustainable infrastructure for our transport of crew and cargo from Earth to the lunar surface. As part of a hardworking team, you will participate in verification of Radar FPGA-based solutions within Sustaining Lunar Development program’s avionics, guidance, and navigation group. This includes requirements development with design engineers, verification through formal methods, simulation and on-target testing. Our FPGA team is tightly knit and very collaborative, with a variety of experience and backgrounds. We care about the success of each other and our peers and are very willing to help each other learn and grow. Together we will build high-reliability, safety-critical avionics solutions for our Human Landing System (HLS) vehicle. As such, experience with DO-254 is a plus. We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and dedication to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!
