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. 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. This role supports the Avionics Systems Engineering of New Glenn, a reusable single-configuration, heavy-lift orbital launch vehicle capable of routinely carrying people and payloads to low-Earth orbit, geostationary transfer orbit, cislunar, and beyond. Contribute to or lead New Glenn Avionics architecture trade studies, concept development, verification planning, vehicle integration, and operations support.

Analyze, manage, and interpret requirements at the New Glenn Avionics subsystem level and flow down requirements to lower-level component specifications.

Generate verification and validation plans, and work with integration and test teams to ensure the New Glenn Avionics subsystem meets requirements.

Develop and manage power/network architecture, integrating multiple Avionics subsystems while ensuring deterministic performance and budget compliance.

Develop and manage New Glenn Avionics fault tree analyses and other reliability/safety analyses across the system lifecycle.

Produce technical writing (procedural definitions, specifications, interfaces, analysis support and description documents).
