Overview
Join to apply for the
MK2 Crew Lander GN&C Engineer, Flight Controls- Lunar Permanence
role at
Blue Origin . Application Close Date: Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed. At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We’re working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. This role is part of the Lunar Permanence business unit, which develops 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 hardworking team of engineers, you will join our Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GN&C) team with an emphasis in Flight Controls. You will participate in the development of control laws and flight software for spacecraft from Earth to the Moon. You will prototype algorithms, conduct trade studies for control architectures, and perform linear stability analyses using classical and modern approaches. You will collaborate with other subsystems and spacecraft systems engineers to define subsystem boundaries, interfaces, and technical performance measures. You will exemplify best practices, balanced technical judgment, and a strong work ethic, and you will work directly with NASA and our National Team Partners as part of the Human Landing System (HLS) Sustaining Lunar Development (SLD) program. We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required. Responsibilities
Develop control laws and flight software for GN&C applications for spacecraft from Earth to the Moon. Prototype algorithms, perform trade studies for control architectures, and conduct linear stability analyses using classical and modern approaches. Collaborate with subsystems and spacecraft systems engineers to define interfaces and performance measures. Support development of subsystem boundaries, interfaces, and technical performance measures, and exemplify best practices and sound technical judgment. Work with NASA and National Team Partners as part of the HLS SLD program. Minimum Qualifications
B.S. in Aerospace, Mechatronic, or Electrical Engineering or closely related field. 5+ years of GN&C algorithm development, flight and attitude control using classical and modern control methods. Knowledgeable in frequency domain analysis techniques. Robust understanding of controller stability derivatives and stability margins with respect to flexible body dynamics, slosh dynamics, and spacecraft dynamics. Demonstrated experience with control law design for aerospace vehicles. Familiarity with development of requirements, interfaces, trades, and analyses for aerospace GN&C applications. Understanding of the relationship between attitude control, vehicle configuration, spacecraft dynamics, actuators, sensors, and automation. Experience in Matlab/Simulink and Model Based Development. Experience coding in C/C++. Robust understanding of software and data configuration management techniques and tools. Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to a culture of safety. Desired Qualifications
M.S. or PhD in Aerospace, Mechatronic, Electrical Engineering or closely related field. Proven experience in development, implementation and testing of GN&C systems for aerospace vehicles. Experience through the full lifecycle of system development. Proficiency in control schemes such as PID, Phase-Plane, H-Infinity, Lead/Lag, Dynamic Inversion, etc. Experience designing flight control systems with RCS, cold/hot gas thrusters, TVC, or electric propulsion. Deep knowledge of astrodynamics, orbital mechanics, attitude kinematics and dynamics. Experience with RPOD considerations in spacecraft control system design. On-orbit GN&C support experience during mission operations. Experience with Monte Carlo simulations, hardware-in-the-loop, and software-in-the-loop testing. Experience with real-time flight software and Simulink/Embedded Coder. Hands-on experience with GN&C flight hardware. Experience with system safety analyses including FHA, FMEA, and FTA. Experience with Matlab/Simulink linear analysis tools and collaboration tools such as Gitlab, Confluence, and JIRA. Compensation and Other Details
