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.
We are seeking dynamic software systems Engineers to join our New Glenn team at Blue Origin. In this role, you will have end-to-end responsibility for a New Glenn autonomy software component through cross-functional systems engineering and data-driven testing. You will have a direct impact on the success of every launch. If you have the mindset of a leader, are curious, and can see how every piece fits into the whole, we encourage you to apply.
Responsibilities include but are not limited to:- Partner with cross-functional teams of controls engineers, subsystem designers, and operators to define autonomy software behaviors.
- Architect, document, and decompose design decisions into software requirements, verification activities, and validation activities.
- Support code reviews and validate software behavior through simulation data analysis, Hardware-In-the-Loop testing, and hardware testing.
- Develop and run data analysis pipelines.
- Drive autonomy software release readiness decisions by assessing autonomy changes for safety, performance, and stakeholder needs.
- Coordinate with Avionics teams to integrate autonomy software into flight and ground systems.
- Define procedures and command sequences to control the rocket for ground testing and operations.
- Triage, investigate, and resolve software issues using test data on an aggressive schedule.
- Rapidly develop tooling, scripts, and functions to address emergent issues.
- Provide real-time support for hot fire tests and missions in the support room.
- Push for process improvements with a sense of ownership and urgency
Basic Qualifications:- Bachelor's degree in engineering or a related technical field.
