Blue Origin LLC Senior Aerospace Systems Engineer - New Glenn SEIT in Seattle, Washington
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! 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. Its first stage is fully reusable, and the vehicle was designed from the beginning to be human-capable. As a Senior Systems Engineer on the New Glenn Systems Engineering Integration and Test team, you will be part of a hardworking team of engineers, applying broad multidisciplinary engineering (mechanical, structural, fluids, electrical/electronic, and software) knowledge and skills to create processes and procedures for the development, implementation, certification, and sustainment of the New Glenn launch system. This role requires a deep understanding of requirements definition, verification and validation, functional analysis, modeling and simulation, system safety analysis, technical measures, and specialty engineering (e.g., operability, reliability, maintainability, supportability), as well as other systems engineering lifecycle processes. You will support the alignment and consistent implementation of New Glenn systems engineering practices from the system level through lower-level program tiers, as well as across program systems. You will help develop metrics to provide insight into program health and track progress toward major milestones which you will help lead and support. Responsibilities include but are not limited to: Lead projects to develop and implement system engineering processes and software tools. Lead operational excellence and continuous improvement initiatives for the systems engineering function Utilize and develop system engineering processes, ensure consistent and high-quality implementation across the program, and serve in a systems integration capacity working with multidisciplinary teams to create technical solutions Work across vehicle stages and subsystems to support integrated launch system design, build, certification, and sustainment. Support the alignment and standardized implementation of New Glenn system engineering practices for multiple system levels as well as across different vehicles and subsystems Develop metrics to monitor overall quality and schedule performance of engineering development to proactively identify potential issues and appropriate mitigations in support of major milestones and program-level reviews Support the development, allocation, verification of requirements at all levels of the program using requirements management tools like DOORS Next Gen and other product lifecycle management tools. Perform at a high-level in a fast-paced, dynamic environment Minimum Qualifications: Minimum of a B.S. degree in engineering or a related technical field. 10+ years of proven engineering experience. 2+ years of experience managing or leading an engineering team. Proven experience with launch vehicles or largescale aerospace programs. Demonstrated experience with end-to-end aerospace design and development lifecycle from concept through test and certification. Experience improving and streamlining processes and engineering tools to support development of complex systems. Experience in at least one focused subject area, such as mechanical, fluids, thermal, propulsion, avionics or electrical hardware and/or software, telemetry/communications, structures, ground operatio
