Blue Origin, Cocoa, Florida, United States, 32922
Overview
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 are building 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 Moon landers and related products. To further Blue Origin's mission, we are building sustainable infrastructure for our transport of crew and cargo from Earth to the lunar surface. You will work as a Safety Systems Engineer supporting the Core Avionics group, which oversees the development and test of electrical components including power, command and data handling, and guidance, navigation and control systems. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and your dedicated commitment and attention will further the cause of safe and repeatable spaceflight. You will develop system safety and reliability processes and work products necessary to support lifecycle development of vehicle Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) system architectures. You will influence system requirements and support system trades to ensure safe and reliable operations in space. You will work with NASA and our National Team Partners as part of the Human Landing System (HLS) Sustaining Lunar Development (SLD) program, helping to develop the Lunar Transportation system to return humans to the Moon and extend human presence beyond Earth. We are looking for someone to apply technical expertise, leadership, and dedication to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required.
