About this role

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 focused on space infrastructure and increasing mobility on-orbit. Apply broad multi-disciplinary engineering knowledge, skills, and methods to ensure spacecraft satisfies customer needs through rigorous systems engineering practices. As part of the Blue Ring Spacecraft Systems Engineering team, help shape requirements, system designs, and operations to meet program needs.

Assist in the definition and verification of system requirements, interfaces, architecture, and con ops. Work with all program interfaces including Assembly, Integration, &T, Mission Systems, Launch Vehicle, Payloads, and Mission Operations. The position requires strong collaboration within the SSE team and across the entire program.

In this fast-paced and dynamic environment, contribute to innovative solutions while demonstrating personal leadership, technical competence, judgement, and commitment to the highest technical standards. The role supports development, manufacturing, and operation of satellite systems addressing space mobility challenges.
