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! The role is part of the In-Space Systems business unit, which is focused on addressing two of the most compelling challenges in spaceflight today: space infrastructure and increasing mobility on-orbit. As part of a hardworking team of engineers, you will apply your broad multi-disciplinary engineering knowledge, skills, and methods to help ensure our spacecraft satisfies the needs of our critical partners through rigorous systems engineering practices. As part our Blue Ring Spacecraft Systems Engineering team you will help ensure the program requirements, operational descriptions, and system designs have been shaped so that the overall system meets our customers' needs. You will assist in the definition and verification of system interfaces, architecture, and con ops. Finally, you will work with all program interfaces including Assembly, Integration, & Test (AI&T), Mission Management, Launch Vehicle, Payloads, and Mission Operations. The position requires strong collaboration within the SSE team and across the entire program. In this fast-paced and dynamic environment, you will contribute to innovative solutions while demonstrating personal leadership, technical competence and judgement, and a commitment to the highest technical standards.

  • Work with the program's Lead Systems Engineer to ensure compliance with design standards, processes, and general best practices.
  • Apply a variety of technical principles and tools in Systems Engineering such as CONOPs development, requirements analysis, and interface definition.
  • Work with subsystems to ensure proper requirements definition, verification and validation plans, consistency with system and mission objectives.
  • Oversee verification and validation strategies, plans and processes to ensure software and hardware components, and the integrated spacecraft subsystems will meet system requirements and mission goals.
  • Collaborate with other program elements (I&T, ground systems, flight operations, mission management, and systems architecture) to understand their needs and create holistic solutions.
  • Identify and assist in the management of technical, schedule and cost risks.
  • Work with the flight software team to resolve implementation issues, review the software development processes, link their development to L3 requirements and needed functional behaviors.
  • Assist in the planning and development of system-level verification methods and events.
  • Support and collaborate with the Assembly, Integration and Test team in developing test procedures and scripts.
  • Support integration activities 'on the floor' in the spacecraft assembly facility.
  • Assist with proposals based on knowledge of spacecraft capabilities and functions.
  • Manage technical performance measures for the overall vehicle.
  • Participate in gated program reviews and drive subsequent actions to closure.
  • Drive process improvements with a sense of ownership and urgency.
  • Minimum of a B.S. degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Aerospace engineering or equivalent technical field.
  • Demonstrated understanding of systems engineering fundamentals and experience in multiple system lifecycle phases.
  • Successful candidates in this role typically have 5+ years of related experience in the design, development, and flight test of aerospace systems, preferably spacecraft.
  • Experience developing an integrated system with depth in one or more spacecraft subsystems, and/or system design and integration.
  • Experience in definition of space system requirements and concept definitions that span a broad range of mission objectives.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Active US Government TS clearance.
  • M.S. degree in a relevant technical field.
  • Active TS/SCI security clearance preferred.
  • Domain experience with spacecraft system and subsystem functions, interfaces, and communication protocols (i.e. serial, 1553, Ethernet, embedded software, etc.).
  • Experience defining and performing complex trade studies.
  • Experience with design, development, and certification of spaceflight systems.
  • Experience with logical and physical architecture definition and decomposition.
  • Experience using hardware or software testbeds and lab environments for software and system verification.
  • 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%.
  • Education Support Program.
  • Paid Time Off: Up to four (4) weeks per year based on weekly scheduled hours, and up to 14 company-paid holidays.
  • Discretionary bonus designed to reward individual contributions as well as allow employees to share in company results.
