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.

As part of a small, passionate, and accomplished team of engineers and technicians, you will build and maintain the automated test infrastructure that powers hardware/software integration for the MK1 Lunar Lander. You will develop the harnesses, simulator interfaces, and automated test execution that let integration campaigns run reliably and repeatably in the Vehicle Test Bed (VTB) and Software Integration Lab (SIL) across multiple MK1 vehicle configurations. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your commitment and detailed attention. Join us in lowering the cost of access to space and enabling Blue Origin's vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth!

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

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Design, build, and maintain automated test frameworks for HW/SW integration testing in the VTB/HIL and SIL
• Develop and maintain hardware-in-the-loop interfaces, including simulator to hardware signal paths and data acquisition,
• Automate test execution, data collection, and post-test data reduction so campaigns run repeatably across multiple vehicle configurations
• Integrate automated tests into the CI pipeline; develop post-run invariants and checks that catch regressions early
• Partner with integration engineers to translate test plans into automated, reusable test cases and scenario overrides
• Support VTB/HIL infrastructure bring-up, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement
• Maintain configuration control of test scripts, tooling, and infrastructure artifacts
• Investigate and resolve test infrastructure anomalies, driving root cause and corrective actions to closure
