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 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.
As an Avionics Engineer, you’ll play a pivotal role in the New Glenn Rocket program, collaborating with a skilled team to design, develop, and qualify critically important avionics' hardware, enabling reliable and reusable spaceflight to advance our vision of millions living and working in space.
As part of a hardworking team of specialists, technicians, and engineers, you will directly contribute to the planning, selection, development, sourcing, and acceptance of avionics hardware for next generation of launch vehicles. In a fast‑paced dynamic environment, you will play a crucial role in the integration and support of new avionics' hardware for the New Glenn program. You will work closely with GNC engineers, electrical, mechanical, software, systems engineering, configuration & data management, and assembly, integration & test, to ensure that the hardware components meet the requirements and perform as expected. Additionally, you will be involved in troubleshooting and resolving hardware‑related issues during production, integration, and post‑flight phases.
Note: This position is a 12 month fixed‑term position with full benefits.
