Position: Spacecraft Software Systems Engineer II - Blue Ring (Top Secret Clearance Required)
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! The role is part of the In-Space Systems business unit, which is focused on addressing two of the most compelling challenges in spaceflight today: space infrastructure and increasing mobility on-orbit.

As part of a hardworking team of engineers, you will work across organizations, to connect spacecraft, payload, and ground elements to define advanced solutions for our customers. This role is on the Mission Systems Engineering, Integration, and Test (SEIT) team and supports the Flight Software Architect in defining system level software requirements and allocations to define the software implementation approach for space and ground systems.

Your vision will drive project success and make a significant impact in our field. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with a wide array of professionals, including customers, team members, systems engineering, architecture, hardware, and software teams.

We are looking for someone to apply their technical experience, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!
