Aerospace Systems Engineer II

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 Blue National Security (BNS), where our focus is the design, development, and delivery of launch and spacecraft systems for national security missions.

Through Blue Ring, our all-in-one, high-powered hybrid solar-electric and chemical-propelled spacecraft, we provide unmatched mission maneuverability, versatility, and capacity at dramatically lower-profile costs. The role is part of the Blue National Systems (BNS) business unit
, which is focused on development, manufacturing, and operation of satellite systems to address one of the most compelling challenges in spaceflight today: space mobility. Our flagship platform,
Blue Ring
, is a versatile, multi-mission spacecraft designed to provide in-space transportation, hosting, and mission management services. Blue Ring can support a wide range of payloads and missions across multiple orbital regimes, offering customers flexible, on-orbit infrastructure for logistics, servicing, and data relay. Our systems support a growing range of missions, including NASA missions to destinations such as the Moon and Mars, as well as other national security and commercial space efforts.

As part of a hardworking team of engineers, you will apply your broad multi-disciplinary engineering knowledge, skills, and methods to help ensure our spacecraft satisfies the needs of our customers through rigorous systems engineering practices. As part of our Blue Ring Systems Engineering Integration and Test (SEIT) team, you will help ensure that requirements, system designs and operations are shaped to meet program needs.

You will assist in the definition and verification of system requirements, interfaces, architecture, and CONOPs. Finally, you will work with program interfaces including Assembly, Integration, & Test (AI&T), Payloads, Launch Vehicle, and Mission Operations. The position requires strong collaboration within the SEIT team and across the entire program. In this fast-paced and dynamic environment, you will contribute to innovative solutions while demonstrating personal leadership, technical competence and judgement, and a commitment to the highest technical standards.

• Travel expected up to 10% of the time

• Decompose high-level requirements into lower-level system architecture, system design requirements, and functional block diagrams.
• Work with subsystems to ensure proper requirements definition, verification and validation plans, consistency with system and mission objectives.
• Coordinate with specialty engineering functions in support of subsystem development teams.
• Oversee verification and validation strategies, plans and processes to ensure software and hardware components, and the integrated spacecraft subsystems will meet system requirements and mission goals.
• Create and oversee the execution of test plans, procedures and generation of results reports.
• Collaborate with other program elements (I&T, ground systems, flight operations, mission management, and systems architecture) to understand their needs and create holistic solutions.
• Identify and assist in the management of technical, schedule and cost risks.
• Work with the flight software team to resolve implementation issues, review the software development processes, link their development to requirements and needed functional behaviors.
• Assist in the planning and development of system-level verification methods and events.
• Support and collaborate with the Assembly, Integration and Test team in developing test procedures and scripts.
• Support integration activities "on the floor" in the spacecraft assembly facility.
• Assist with proposals based on knowledge of spacecraft capabilities and…
