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 diverse 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 part of the System Engineering, Integration, and Test (SEIT) safety engineering team, this role will work across New Glenn's subsystems to support integrated solutions, apply system engineering practices, ensure consistent implementations across the program, and serve in an integration capacity working with multi-discipline teams to achieve sound solutions. This role will also support the development, allocation, and verification of system requirements using configuration management tools, such as DOORS Next Gen.

As a qualified candidate being considered for this role, you are able to support requirements analysis (functional, systems, safety) and traceability, monitor technical performance, develop strategies for specialty engineering (operability, reliability, maintainability, supportability) and demonstrate a high-level of familiarity with systems and product lifecycle processes.
