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 hardworking team of dynamic specialists and engineers, you will work with a variety of multi-disciplined engineers to design test equipment, tooling, ground support equipment (GSE), and other hardware for various spaceflight systems. You will create CAD models of tools and equipment, create drawings of parts and assemblies, create model/assembly drawings of test configurations, and facilitate proper format and file management in the Windchill life cycle application. You will also manage and lead the overall test tooling configuration and associated GSE design/build efforts for assigned test campaigns.

We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!

• Design and implement post-processor software to reduce, analyze, and visualize test data for engineering review

• Develop and maintain control software for automated and semi-automated test stand operations

• Support the design of electrical systems and hardware used to collect and route test data, including sensor integration and signal conditioning

• Collaborate with engineers to define instrumentation requirements and data architecture

• Troubleshoot and resolve hardware and software issues during tester commissioning and operations

• Maintain thorough documentation of software, hardware designs, and test configurations

• Contribute to continuous improvement of test infrastructure, tools, and processes

• Support test execution activities as needed
