Overview
Join to apply for the
MK2 Crew Lander GN&C Engineer, Flight Controls- Lunar Permanence
role at
Blue Origin 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. Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! This role is part of the Lunar Permanence business unit, which develops Blue Origin’s 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 share in the team’s impact on all aspects of 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 closely with other subsystems and spacecraft systems engineers to support the development of subsystem boundaries, interfaces, and technical performance measures. You will exemplify best practices, balanced technical judgment, and a superior work ethic. 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
Join the GN&C team with emphasis in Flight Controls to develop control laws and flight software for spacecraft from Earth to the Moon. Prototype algorithms, conduct trade studies for control architectures, and perform linear stability analyses using classical and modern approaches. Collaborate with other subsystems and spacecraft systems engineers to define subsystem boundaries, interfaces, and technical performance measures. Exemplify best practices, balanced technical judgment, and a strong work ethic in a safety-conscious environment. Work directly with NASA and national partners as part of the HLS SLD program. Minimum Qualifications
Minimum of a B.S. degree in Aerospace, Mechatronic, or Electrical engineering or closely related subject areas 5+ years of working experience in 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 Understand 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 technical subject area Proven experience in development, implementation and testing of GN&C systems for aerospace vehicles Demonstrated technical experience through the full lifecycle of system development Proficiency in different control law schemes such as PID, Phase-Plane, H-Infinity, Lead and Lag Compensators, Dynamic Inversion, etc. Experience designing flight control systems with reaction control systems (RCS), cold or hot gas thrusters, thrust vector control (TVC), or electric propulsion Deep knowledge of astrodynamics, orbital mechanics, attitude kinematics and dynamics Experience with Rendezvous and Proximity Operations and Docking (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 Functional Hazard Assessments; Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analyses; and Fault Tree Analysis Experience with Matlab/Simulink linear analysis tools Experience with collaboration tools such as Gitlab, Confluence, and JIRA Compensation
CA applicants is $152,235.00-$213,127.95; CO applicants is $139,979.00-$195,969.90; WA applicants is $152,235.00-$213,127.95 Other Site Ranges May Differ Culture and Compliance
Culture Statement: Don’t meet all desired requirements? Studies have shown that some people are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single desired qualification. At Blue Origin, we are dedicated to building an authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every desired qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles. Export Control Regulations: Applicants for employment at Blue Origin must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e. current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. Background Check: Required for all positions: Blue’s Standard Background Check; for certain profiles: DBIDS background check if role requires access to military installations; for certain profiles: CDL-related checks if applicable. Equal Employment Opportunity: Blue Origin is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce. We provide qualified applicants equal opportunity for hire and advancement regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, or other protected status.
