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 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 lead the verification of subsystems that meet Blue Origin’s needs for a vehicle within the Lunar Permanence set of vehicles. You will work across subsystems and support integrated solutions to achieve our vision of “millions of people living and working in space” and apply system engineering practices across subject areas predicated to a high degree on your technical skills. You will support the development of Verification Activities for the program, ensure consistent implementations across the program, and serve in a system integration capacity working with multi-discipline teams to arrive at technical system solutions. You will support requirements definition, validation, and verification of requirements at all levels of the program using tools like Jama, system lifecycle configuration management tools, and other functional analysis toolsets. Additionally, this role requires understanding and supporting requirements analysis and traceability, functional analysis, and verification plan development. You will ensure the alignment and consistent implementation of Lunar system engineering practices from vehicle to lower-level program tiers. You will also participate in gated reviews, develop health metrics to support insight into program health and tracking to major milestones. The position requires strong collaboration within the SSE team and across the entire program.
