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 is part of the Lunar Permanence business unit, which develops Blue
Origin's multiple Blue Moon lander product lines. To further Blue Origin's
mission of having millions of people living and working in space, we are
building sustainable infrastructure for our transport of crew and cargo from
Earth to the lunar surface.
As part of a hardworking team of diverse engineers , you will manage a group
of engineers focused on the vision based navigation system for our landers.
As the Vision Based Navigation team manager, your responsibilities in this
position are twofold:
You will directly manage a team of 5-8 members, who focus on vision-based
navigation architecture for rendezvous, terrain relative navigation,
hazard detection and avoidance, hazard relative navigation and cislunar
navigation. You will take ownership of the people, processes, and tools
crucial for the outstanding performance in these subject domains. Using your
excellent skills as a communicator, listener, and empathetic leader, you
will lead the effort of encouraging and growing, rightsized workforce;
supervising performance, merits, and promotions; shepherding team
members' careers through mentorship, opportunity matching, and technical
development. Tapping into your expertise in vision-based navigation, you
will assure that your team's work products meet domain quality standards.
You will ensure benchmarking the team's standards and tools with other Blue
Origin business units and with industry trends. We expect this will take
approximately up to a quarter of your time commitment.
With the remaining three-fourths of your time, you'll focus on technical
contributions in the area of vision-based navigation, providing technical
support directly onto one or more programs within Lunar Permanence. In this
capacity, you will exemplify our best practices, balanced technical
judgment, and outstanding work ethic.
