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 Blue Origin Operations, which is comprised of Integrated Supply Chain, Test Operations, Safety, Quality, and Mission Assurance. This includes Manufacturing and Supply Chain support across all Blue Origin facilities.

We are building the digital backbone of next-generation autonomous manufacturing at Blue Origin. We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help develop intelligent, agentic systems that connect design, production, supply chain, and factory operations into an integrated autonomous ecosystem.

You will work with our automation team to design and implement autonomous agents that make intelligent decisions across manufacturing workflows—from material ordering to production optimization to quality assurance.

• Design and develop autonomous agents that coordinate across manufacturing domains (design, supply chain, production, quality)
• Build integrations between factory systems, design platforms, and material management systems
• Develop decision-making logic and workflows for autonomous factory operations
• Create monitoring and control systems for agentic workflows in production
• Collaborate with automation engineers to embed autonomous capabilities into our factory systems
• Implement data pipelines that feed real-time factory and supply chain data into decision systems
• Ensure autonomous systems operate safely, securely, and within compliance requirements
• Optimize system performance and responsiveness for real-time factory operations
• Document system architectures, workflows, and decision logic

• Bachelor's in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field
• 5-7 years of software development experience
• Strong experience building distributed systems and workflows
• Proficiency with Python or similar languages
• Experience integrating multiple systems/APIs

• Experience with agentic systems, multi-agent systems, or autonomous workflows
• Knowledge of manufacturing processes or supply chain systems
• Experience with event-driven architectures and message systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ, etc.)
• Familiarity with manufacturing automation hardware and PLCs
• Machine vision or IoT device integration experience
• ML/AI fundamentals for decision-making systems
