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. Within a small, passionate, and accomplished team of experts, you will craft, build, and continuously improve the state-of-the-art Avionics Operations Integrator software system. This system helps us launch and land rockets better, faster, and cheaper. Together, our team develops the software and tools that enable us to test and fly our vehicles.
