Sr Automation Engineer - Glenn

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 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 part of a hardworking team of engineers, you will develop, maintain, and expand automation software tool chains that integrate engineering data from various sources to support launch vehicle development and mission integration. This includes tool chains that interact with large-scale production CAD databases to support vehicle‑level mass property estimation as well as other infrastructure projects that may utilize Databricks, AWS, Gitlab CI, or other frameworks and elements to automate analysis workflows.

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, or a related technical field or equivalent experience
• 8+ years of experience in software development, automation, data science, engineering, or analysis
• Demonstrated ability to design, develop, and maintain automated software tools and workflows
• Experience with React, Type Script, Kubernetes, Databricks, SQL, Python, REST APIs, and AWS
• Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git, SVN) and CI/CD pipelines

• Advanced degree in engineering, computer science, or a related technical field
• Experience developing and improving tool chains that interface with a CAD toolset or database
• Experience developing analysis tool chains and database solutions
• Experience with mass properties analysis
• Knowledge of launch vehicles (vehicle architecture, components, etc.)
• Knowledge of physics and engineering analysis fundamentals
