Vehicle Autonomy Lead
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'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. In this role you will work as the Vehicle Autonomy Lead, ensuring that vehicle behavior is designed and understood by all parties both internally on the Transporter team (vehicle level and subsystems) and externally within the greater lunar program architecture. As a part of vehicle autonomy, Fault Detection, Isolation, and Recovery (FDIR) will be a large focus of this role. Additionally, modeling the vehicle behavior in diagrams, as applicable/useful, such as State Machines, Functional Flow Block Diagrams, and timelines to ensure that vehicle behavior is helping inform the design. 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: Plan, design, and execute strategies for autonomous operation in space. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate autonomy solutions into vehicle systems. Design vehicle systems for Fault Protection / Fault Detection Isolation and Recovery (FDIR), including performing fault tree analyses. Design and model vehicle states, modes, conditions, activities, and functions. Support the lunar program team with system-of-system models and timelines as they relate to transporter systems. Assist with systems safety work, as necessary. Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
