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.
Blue Origin is seeking a Systems Integration Engineer to support the design, development, and verification of the Critical Facility Monitoring System (CFMS) user interface for the New Glenn launch complex. As part of a small, cross-functional team, you will integrate the CFMS with ground and facility systems.
This hands-on role involves system configuration, display development, and building software simulation/test utilities. It will require creation of test plans and procedures and executing end-to-end integration verification testing with formal documentation. You'll work closely with operations personnel to develop meaningful alerts and reports that support day-to-day operations, maintenance, and historical data analysis — helping integrate, verify, and validate software components that support launch facility operations.
Responsibilities
- Integrate, develop, configure, and test the CFMS user interface with launch complex, ground, and facility systems
- Design user interfaces and develop displays for facility monitoring and operations
- Configure assets and set up historical data collection, alerting, and reporting
- Work directly with customers/users to gather feedback and implement new features and improvements
- Participate in architecture discussions and process improvements, contributing to high-quality user interface software
- Support customer training, documentation, and configuration management
- Follow software quality processes including release management, traceability, and verification
- Leverage AI tools to accelerate development workflows, coding, and feature delivery
- Support test integration, operations, and training at remote sites as needed (travel required)
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience)
- 2+ years of experience in software/systems integration, industrial automation, or SCADA development
- Exposure to design and integration of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems
- Experience or coursework related to designing user interfaces for industrial control systems
- Exposure to SCADA/HMI platforms such as Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions (MEIDS) GENESIS Suite, Inductive Automation Ignition, Wonderware, or FactoryTalk (hands-on experience preferred; coursework/lab experience acceptable)
- Experience programming in Python and C/C++
- Working knowledge of, or coursework exposure to, industrial communication protocols: OPC DA/UA, Modbus, BACnet, MQTT
- Basic familiarity with network protocols (TCP/IP, UDP)
- Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively on rapid development programs
- Ability to travel to remote sites for integration, testing, and training support
Additional Desired Qualifications
- Basic SQL/database experience
- Familiarity with ground command and control system concepts (telemetry processing, commanding, procedure execution)
- Familiarity with Wireshark
- Coursework or hands-on experience with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and industrial control hardware (Rockwell, Siemens)
