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!  Blue Origin is pioneering the future of space-based communications with Tera Wave, a revolutionary satellite communications network designed to deliver symmetrical data speeds of up to 6 Tbps anywhere on Earth.

This multi-orbit constellation will consist of optically interconnected satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) and medium Earth orbit (MEO), providing enterprise-grade connectivity for critical operations worldwide.

The Tera Wave Chief Systems Architecture (CSA) Office owns the integrated technical picture for a multi-thousand-satellite communications constellation — system-level requirements, reference missions, physics-based system models, standards, and architecture compliance. Leverage comes from artifact ownership, clear decision rights, and domain architect engagement across all VP organizations.
As a Senior Systems Integrator, you will be a key contributor to the operational cadence that drives system-level decisions from identification to closure. Working alongside Principal Systems Integrators and domain architects, you will help prepare and execute architecture compliance reviews, maintain system-level artifacts, support trade study convergence, and track actions to closure. You will develop a system-level perspective across domains while bringing depth in your own technical background to bear on real problems.
This is not a domain engineering role, nor is it a program management role. You will work across domains — spacecraft, payload, silicon, software, ground, and operations — developing the breadth needed to understand how decisions in one area affect the whole. You are expected to ask hard questions, identify gaps, and flag when something doesn't add up — even when the person across the table is more senior.
The role carries an explicit dual mandate, balanced approximately 70/30. The majority of your time supports current-system integration — contributing to compliance reviews, maintaining artifacts, and driving assigned trades to closure. The remaining allocation is dedicated to forward-looking concept work: participating in rapid technical feasibility assessments for new business ideas, constellation evolution paths, or novel mission applications. We intend to hire a small cohort across both senior and principal levels, deliberately assembling complementary technical backgrounds so the group can collectively span the breadth of the system and self-form into lightweight study teams.
If you want to accelerate your growth into a systems-level engineering leader, thrive on understanding how complex systems fit together, and want a role that combines execution discipline with creative problem-solving on what comes next, we would love to hear from you.
Special Considerations
- Relocation provided
- Travel expected up to 10% of the time    Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
System Integration & Architecture Compliance (~70%)      - Prepare materials for periodic architecture compliance reviews — gathering inputs from domain architects, assembling data packages, and identifying gaps against top-level system requirements.  - Maintain and update the system-level artifact suite — architecture summary documents,…
