Full Job Description
Application close date:
Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed.

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.

This role supports the development and operations of New Glenn, a heavy-lift launch vehicle capable of routinely carrying people and payloads to Earth's orbit and beyond. Engineered with a reusable first stage and a seven-meter payload fairing, New Glenn is building the road to space.

As part of a small team, you'll work on launch vehicles, space vehicles and launch facility systems for the New Glenn Program, with a focus on system integration. You'll work across systems and subsystems to support integrated solutions to achieve our vision of "millions of people living and working in space." You will support system engineering practices across disciplines predicated to a high degree on your technical skills in one or more areas of analysis, design, or integrated testing. You'll verify requirements using tools like DOORS Next Gen and other functional analysis toolsets. Your activities may include design reviews, test and analysis planning, risk and change management, gated reviews, fault analysis, proposals, configuration and data management, discrepancy resolution, and regulatory compliance.

In this role you will carry out systems engineering activities in accordance with system engineering standards and practices, tailoring required processes to complete tasks assigned, including functional and systems analysis, as well as development and execution of system verification and validation plans. You will also participate in gated reviews, identify, analyze, and resolve system discrepancies, and provide support for the Element Lead.

To be successful, you will develop solutions to cross-discipline design changes or discrepancies. You will also develop strategies and approaches for specialty engineering (operability, reliability, maintainability, supportability) integration, analysis, verification, and validation. We are looking for someone to be a strong team player, with good communication skills, who can work effectively in teams, including government officials, and independently. As such, you must have good execution and coordination skills, the discipline to self-start/finish, and flexibility with a holistic system mindset and aptitude.

Minimum Qualifications:
  • B.S. degree in engineering
  • Knowledge of current systems engineering and integration tools and methodologies
  • Minimum 2-4 years of current technical hands-on experience in at least one of the below areas:
    • Analysis
    • Design
    • Integrated Testing
    • Systems Engineering
  • Current technical hands-on experience in at least one of the following focused discipline areas:
    • Fluids
    • Thermal
    • Propulsion
    • Avionics or electrical hardware and/or software
    • Structures
    • Ground Operations
    • Flight and/or Ground Autonomy
  • Comfortable working in the Atlassian Suite of tools (i.e. Jira, Confluence)


Preferred Qualifications:
  • System development/integration experience, preferably with aerospace hardware
  • Experience with systems engineering tools such as DOORS Next Gen
  • Experience in test, verification, and validation planning and execution
  • Experience in reliability, maintainability and operability analysis and execution
  • Launch vehicle experience
  • Experience working with government entities, specifically DoD
  • Active DoD Security Clearance (TS SCI)


Compensation Range for:
WA applicants is $99,201.00 - $138,880.35

Other site ranges may differ

Benefits
  • Benefits include: Medical, dental, vision, basic and supplemental life insurance, paid parental leave, short and long-term disability, 401(k) with a company match of up to 5%, and an Education Support Program.
  • Stock Options for all regular employees (working at least 20 hours/week)
  • Paid Time Off: Up to four (4) weeks per year based on weekly scheduled hours, and up to 14 company-paid holidays.
  • Dependent on role type and job level, employees may be eligible for benefits and bonuses based on the company's intent to reward individual contributions and enable them to share in the company's results, or other factors at the company's sole discretion. Bonus amounts and eligibility are not guaranteed and subject to change and cancellation. Please check with your recruiter for more details.
