Software Development Engineer - Analysis Engineering Tools Software

Software Development Engineer - Analysis Engineering Tools Build scalable analysis software tools to automate engineering workflows across disciplines

Location:

Seattle, Washington

Compensation: $164, USD / year

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 is part of Advanced Concepts and Enterprise Engineering (ACE), supporting Blue Origin's mission of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. The team fosters innovation and drives engineering workflows of the future, shared solutions and standards, simplicity and lower costs, and manufacturable design.

We are looking for a skilled, motivated engineer to join a team developing automated analysis tools and methods, integrations with design and manufacturing software, and reporting/certification automations to drive efficiency throughout engineering. As a software engineer, you will be a key member of a team of experts supporting physics and engineering analysis by developing software pipelines and solutions to enable the future state of analysis.

Passion for our mission and vision is required!

• Design, build, and maintain analysis software tools and methods, including converting existing tools into modern languages following software best practices
• Leverage HPC infrastructure and workflows on AWS (EC2, S3) to support engineering analysis automation
• Integrate inputs and automate output formats for 3rd-party analysis tools (e.g., Ansys, Altair) to improve engineer productivity and throughput.
• Build and maintain containerized development and execution environments for analysis software across Linux and macOS platforms.
• Develop APIs, services, and job orchestration layers (e.g., Slurm, OpenMPI) to enable scalable, self-service compute for engineering teams.
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of Blue Analysis Templates and supporting tool chains.
• Implement CI/CD pipelines and Dev Ops practices for analysis software delivery.
• Collaborate with engineers across disciplines to identify automation opportunities and develop solutions that reduce manual effort.
• Mentor a team of structural and mechanical engineers on best practices for software development and deployment.

• BA/BS in computer science, information science, or related field; or equivalent practical experience.
• 7+ years of hands‑on software development experience with production systems.
• Strong experience with AWS cloud infrastructure, particularly compute-oriented services (EC2, Image Builder, Parallel Cluster or equivalent).
• Proficiency in at least one of:
  Java, Python, or C#.
• Experience with Linux system administration, containerization (Docker), and build pipelines.
• Familiarity with HPC concepts: job schedulers (Slurm), MPI, cluster management.
• Experience developing and consuming REST APIs.
• Solid understanding of version control (Git) and Dev Ops practices.
• Strong code review experience, including modernization of legacy tools.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to work across teams.

• Degree or educational certificate in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Physics.
• Experience with HPC-as-a-service platforms
• Familiarity with engineering analysis workflows or CAE tools.
• Experience supporting macOS and Linux development environments in parallel..
• Interest in applying AI/ML to improve analysis automation and efficiency.

Don't meet all desired requirements? Studies have shown that some people are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single desired qualification. At Blue Origin, we are dedicated to building an authentic workplace, so if you're excited about this role but your past experience doesn't align perfectly with every desired qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway.
