Avionics System Integrator III - Glenn Stage 2

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.

Are you looking to become a systems expert for New Glenn Avionics, and follow the life of the program to test and flight support? We are a small team of passionate experts, each with ownership of the system lifecycle. Our team is looking to hire someone who can take ownership of defining and enforcing the deployment of the Avionics systems on New Glenn.

Come join us in this exciting and fast paced role to make a direct impact on the history of human space exploration!

As a systems integrator, you will be the authority on all aspects of New Glenn avionics including CONOPS, functional architecture, components, and software. You will follow the development component hardware, autonomous software, and development testing, and will be accountable for feeding forward lessons learned into the coordinated operation of your subsystem on the flight vehicle. You will collaborate with the stage-level leads, and you will build a comprehensive set of constraints, alerts, and limits for the New Glenn operations teams.

As a key member of the GS2 Engineering Systems Integration team, you are highly diligent and future thinking, can handle a broad set of data, and embrace Blue's long term vision of millions of people living and working in space!
