About the RoleThis role is part of Advanced Concepts and Enterprise Engineering (ACE), supporting Blue Origin's mission of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. The team fosters innovation and drives engineering workflows of the future, shared solutions and standards, simplicity and lower costs, and manufacturable design. We are looking for a skilled, motivated engineer to join a team developing high-performance computing solutions, integrations, pipelines, and automations to drive efficiency throughout engineering. As a software engineer, you will be a key member of a team of experts supporting physics and engineering analysis by developing software pipelines and solutions to enable the future state of analysis.
Passion for our mission and vision is required!
Responsibilities:- Design, build, and maintain HPC infrastructure and workflows on AWS (EC2, ParallelCluster, SOCA) to support engineering analysis workloads.
- Develop integrations and automation pipelines for 3rd-party analysis tools (e.g., Ansys, Altair) to improve engineer productivity and throughput.
- Build and maintain containerized development and execution environments for analysis software across Linux and macOS platforms.
- Develop APIs, services, and job orchestration layers (e.g., Slurm, OpenMPI) to enable scalable, self-service compute for engineering teams.
- Contribute to the development and maintenance of Blue Analysis Templates and supporting toolchains.
- Implement CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices for analysis software delivery.
- Collaborate with engineers across disciplines to identify automation opportunities and develop solutions that reduce manual effort.
Qualifications:- BA/BS in computer science, information science, or related field; or equivalent practical experience.
- 7+ years of hands-on software development experience with production systems.
- Strong experience with AWS cloud infrastructure, particularly compute-oriented services (EC2, Image Builder, ParallelCluster, or equivalent).
- Proficiency in at least one of: Java, Python, or C#.
- Experience with Linux system administration, containerization (Docker), and build pipelines.
- Familiarity with HPC concepts: job schedulers (Slurm), MPI, cluster management.
- Experience developing and consuming REST APIs.
- Solid understanding of version control (Git) and DevOps practices.
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to work across teams.
Desired:- Experience with HPC-as-a-service platforms (SOCA, AWS ParallelCluster).
- Familiarity with engineering analysis workflows or CAE tools.
- Experience supporting macOS and Linux development environments in parallel.
- Exposure to video streaming, real-time data pipelines, or gateway services.
- Interest in applying AI/ML to improve analysis automation and efficiency.
