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.

As part of a small, passionate and accomplished team of experts, you will work on launch vehicles, space vehicles and launch facility systems for the New Glenn Program. You will work across subsystems and support integrated solutions to achieve our vision of "millions of people living and working in space."

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Serve as the single threaded avionics leader responsible for avionics configuration definition and integration of multiple customer payloads with the New Glenn launch vehicle
• Develop avionics systems engineering requirements for customer payload integration and streamline processes to assist in quick-turn integration efforts
• Support customer design reviews and present technical information to internal and external customers while working closely with other systems integrators to meet schedule demands
• Represent avionics during mission proposal and scope estimation efforts
• Integrate customer hardware into the New Glenn Hardware In The Loop test platform and serve as Test Lead for integrated testing related to customer deliverables.
