Safety, Reliability, and Risk Systems Engineer III

Blue Origin • Denver, WA

7d • $107,707 - $164,497

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 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. As part of a hardworking team of collaborators, doers, and problem-solvers who are relentlessly committed to a culture of safety. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable space flight. Join us in lowering the cost of access to space and enabling Blue Origin’s vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth. As part of the New Glenn SEIT system safety, reliability and risk team, you will work to develop processes and products for the design and evaluation of the New Glenn orbital launch vehicle system and facilities. You must have a passion for mission assurance, a commitment to the fundamentals of system safety, and a strong capacity to work collaboratively on complex and interesting new problems. You will be part of the SEIT system engineering team and will work across the New Glenn subsystems to support integrated solutions. You will utilize system engineering practices across disciplines predicated to a high degree on your technical skills, ensure consistent system engineering implementations across the New Glenn elements and subsystems, and serve in a system integration capacity working with multi-discipline teams to arrive at technical system solutions. You will also assess risks and work to drive appropriate mitigations. Additionally, this role requires understanding and supporting requirements analysis and traceability, functional analysis, systems analysis, safety analysis, technical performance monitoring, developing strategies and approaches for specialty engineering (operability, reliability, maintainability, supportability) and system product life cycle processes. You will support the alignment and consistent implementation of New Glenn system engineering practices for system to lower-level program tiers as well as across program systems. You will also help develop health metrics to support insight into program health and tracking to major milestones.
