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 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.

New Glenn is Blue Origin's orbital launch vehicle, and all avionics equipment that flies on it must be verified before it leaves the ground. As part of a hardworking team of engineers, you will be an individual technical contributor on the Chassis Tester Software team — the engineers who build the software stack that makes that verification possible.

This is a test automation role in the traditional sense. You will integrate a series of tools, scripts and sequences for hardware-in-the-loop test frameworks, build the operator-facing tools that run on the test floor, and own the automated result-checking infrastructure that determines pass/fail for flight-critical hardware. This software is critical for the operation and sustainment for the test equipment and required to support production level testing for the New Glenn Avionics Organization

Responsibilities: 

·         Work with internal customers to capture requirements, negotiate scope, and deliverables to meet Program milestones. 

·         Design and implement production-automation for test instruments 

·         Work directly with avionics hardware engineers to understand instrument behavior, define test sequencing in conjunction with the test engineer.  

·         Architect and extend automated test execution frameworks 

·         Implement check logic, pass/fail criteria, limit management, and structured report generation for acceptance and qualification test campaigns 

Required Qualifications: 

·         B.S. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field 

·         2+ years of professional software coding and engineering experience.  

·         Proficiency with Python  

·         Proven experience developing software on a Redhat OS  

·         Experience with the networking stack — socket programming, UDP/TCP and command transport, packet capture and parsing.

·         Git workflow discipline, CI/CD 

Preferred Qualifications: 

·         Familiarity with avionics test environments — automated test equipment (ATE) 

·         Knowledge of acceptance and qualification test processes in an aerospace hardware development lifecycle 

·         Familiarity with Processor-in-Loop (PIL) design and deploy for test

·         Mastery for Python programming.  

·         Self-Starter and highly proactive.
