Systems Engineer III - Fault Management, MK2 Lunar Lander
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. In this role you will work as a Fault Management Systems Engineer, developing system-level fault protection behaviors and leading subsystem teams in the integration of lower-level fault protection. You will be a key technical voice at the interface of subsystems, safety, and operations teams to ensure the safety and reliability of crewed and uncrewed lunar missions.
