Blue Origin
System Safety Engineer II - Lunar Permanence
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. 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 specialists, technicians, and engineers, you will work as a System Safety and Reliability Engineer supporting the Core Avionics group. Core Avionics oversees the development and test of a variety of electrical components including power, command and data handling, and guidance, navigation and control systems.
In this role, you will develop system safety processes and work products necessary to support lifecycle development of avionics hardware. This will include developing Functional Hazard Assessments (FHAs), Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analyses (FMECAs), and reliability predictions. The results of this work will directly influence hardware requirements and support system trades to ensure safe and reliable operations in space.
You will work directly with NASA and our National Team Partners as part of the Human Landing System (HLS) Sustaining Lunar Development (SLD) program. You will play a key role in developing the Lunar Transportation system that will return humans to the Moon and extend human presence permanently beyond the bounds of Earth.
We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and dedication to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!
