Blue Origin Direct message the job poster from Blue Origin As part of a hardworking team of multi-disciplinary engineers, you will assist in the development and/or procurement of cameras and optical sensor systems for navigation, rendezvous, proximity operations and docking, and other applications for Blue Origin’s spacecraft. You will participate in the full life cycle of these systems from early concepts to product prototypes to qualified and deployed flight hardware. This role is deeply interdisciplinary and requires coordination among internal stakeholders, adjacent integrated product teams, and suppliers. Your contributions will enable flight of state-of-the-art aerospace vehicles and missions. 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 include but are not limited to : Collaborate in the development of camera and optical sensor hardware for guidance, navigation, and control (GN&C) and crewed lander subsystems Design of imaging optics, image quality analysis, tolerance analysis, and stray-light analysis for both visible and long wave infrared (LWIR) systems Support the design, fabrication, test, and characterization of prototype hardware Contribute or lead procurement, vendor coordination, delivery, acceptance, installation, verification, validation, qualification, and certification of component hardware Support the development and execution of component-level test programs, including sensor characterization and calibration, sensor performance modeling, and integrated on-vehicle testing Contribute to the design and implementation of image signal processing (ISP) methods in collaboration with software and firmware engineers. Minimum Qualifications: B.S. in Imaging Science, Physics, Electrical engineering, Optical engineering, or related areas of study 7+ years of related experience with cameras, image sensors, and/or precision opto-mechanical assemblies Demonstrated experience in the development, prototyping, testing, verification, and calibration of cameras or remote sensing systems for aerospace, automotive, medical, or robotics applications Knowledge of optical imaging system components (lenses, sensors, sensor and image processing electronics, etc.) and their characterization Working knowledge of imaging systems, the imaging chain, and optical and image quality characterizations (focus/MTF, radiometry and spectral response, distortion/camera models, color science, etc.) Experience with optical system design and simulation using tools such as Zemax OpticStudio, Code V, FRED, LightTools, etc. Knowledge of image processing techniques Experience in component procurement, integration, and test support Experience in MATLAB/Simulink, Python, Rust, or other programming language Excellent written and verbal communication skills Ability to earn trust and maintain positive and professional relationships. Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. Preferred Qualifications: M.S. in Imaging Science, Physics, Electrical engineering, Optical engineering, or related areas of study Experience in development of cameras, sensors, and instruments for space applications and space environments Experience with spacecraft vehicle or satellite system integration and test Detailed knowledge on EEE part selection for space applications Working knowledge of NASA human spaceflight standards Experience in leading or supporting technical teams through multiple successful product deliveries Seniority level
