Senior Test Integration Engineer – HLS Test Definition

Blue Origin • Space Coast, WA

13d

About The Position

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 of specialists, technicians, and engineers, you will serve as a Test Definition Responsible Engineer (RE) for Blue Origin's Human Landing System (HLS), driving integrated test definition across programs, elements, and partners to help land astronauts on the Moon. You will act as the connective tissue between test groups, systems and vehicle test teams, mission operations, and external partners — bringing stakeholders together, owning integrated and joint test plans, and ensuring that what we test traces cleanly to the requirements we must verify. You will own the definition of how HLS elements are tested together, close the gaps between them, and carry an integrated test perspective from planning through production operations. This is a senior, technical integrator role for someone who thrives at the seams between organizations.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline (aerospace, mechanical, electrical, systems, or related)
• 8+ years of relevant experience in test engineering, systems test, integration & test, or verification engineering across the test design and execution lifecycle; an advanced degree may substitute for a portion of the experience requirement
• Demonstrated experience owning test planning, requirements verification, and integrated or system-level test definition with minimal oversight
• Working knowledge of interface management (ICDs/IRDs), requirements traceability and verification, and integrated master schedule dependencies
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional technical efforts and coordinate across multiple organizations without direct authority
• 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.

Nice To Haves

• Advanced degree in an engineering or technical discipline
• Human spaceflight, crewed vehicle, launch vehicle, or other complex integrated system test experience
• Experience integrating with NASA or a major aerospace customer/partner, including working to customer oversight/insight processes and joint test coordination
• Experience defining or executing integrated, interelement, or joint end-to-end test campaigns across multiple elements or organizations
• Familiarity with verification and certification processes, hazard analyses (e.g., HAZOP), and test compliance/verification-artifact processes
• Proficiency with requirements management and modeling tools (e.g., DOORS, Jama, Cameo) and scheduling tools (e.g., MS Project, Primavera)
• Prior experience acting as a test integrator or Responsible Engineer across organizational boundaries
• Demonstrated technical mentoring and the ability to set technical direction for a test scope

Responsibilities

• Serve as an HLS test integrator and Responsible Engineer — driving test definition into integrated, joint, and interelement testing, establishing how HLS elements are tested together, and bringing test groups, systems/vehicle test, mission operations, and partners to a single integrated definition
• Create and coordinate integrated and joint test plans across test beds, systems test, vehicle test, and mission operations, including end-to-end, mission-level test solutions
• Assess interface documents (ICDs/IRDs) against test objectives to confirm requirements are traced appropriately and to identify and close missing or ambiguous requirements
• Review engineering and design changes, participate in release cycles, and keep test definitions current across all data repositories, ensuring requirements flow correctly to the IPTs
• Provide integrated master schedule (IMS) inputs and thread schedule and test dependencies across integrated product teams (IPTs), maintaining a top-down and bottom-up integrated HLS test perspective
• Own test data products end-to-end and drive test definition downstream into production test operations and work execution; identify test gaps — including unique environments and cross-program test resource needs (test sites, ground test articles, specialized facilities) — and represent HLS test in enterprise-level and multi-user test resource discussions
• Interface with the customer and partner elements on test coordination and test insight, representing HLS in joint and integrated reviews
• Provide technical mentoring and lead cross-functional test efforts through informal and formal technical leadership

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, basic and supplemental life insurance, paid parental leave, short and long-term disability, 401(k) with a company match of up to 5%, and an Education Support Program.
• Stock Options for all regular employees (working at least 20 hours/week)
• Paid Time Off: Up to four (4) weeks per year based on weekly scheduled hours, and up to 14 company-paid holidays.
