Ground Autonomy Control Engineer II - Glenn

Ground Autonomy Control Engineer II - New Glenn

Join to apply for the Ground Autonomy Control Engineer II - New Glenn role at Blue Origin
.

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 passionate and highly skilled team of engineers, you will play a key role in developing software to autonomously load propellants and launch Blue Origin’s pioneering New Glenn rocket. You will translate your understanding of P& into robust Simulink control algorithms, converting cutting‑edge concepts into executable, flight‑ready code. Our team develops safety‑critical software, so experience with verification and validation is highly valued.

You will collaborate closely with the simulation team to verify control models and work in tandem with the launch team to validate your software in real‑world scenarios.

If you thrive on challenge, want to make history, and enjoy solving the toughest engineering problems in aerospace, we encourage you to apply. Join us in launching the next era of human spaceflight!

Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed.
