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 diverse and hardworking team of engineers, you will join our
team within the Guidance, Navigation, and Controls (GN&C) IPT. You
will share in the team's impact in the development of complex,
optionally-piloted spacecraft from Earth to the Moon! You will own and drive
decisions and artifacts of the manual control system design and
requirements, conduct trade studies for system-level manual control
architectures, coordinate development of the engineering flight simulator,
and closely support flight simulator testing of handling qualities and manual
control modes. You will collaborate closely with other subsystems and
spacecraft systems engineers to define spacecraft functions, requirements,
boundaries, interfaces, and technical performance measures. You will
derive methodologies for pilot situational awareness and the associated
feature requirements for spacecraft sensing, kinematics, and dynamics
required to enable precision piloted lunar landing, docking, and general
missio
You will work directly with NASA and our National Team Partners as part of the
Human Landing System (HLS) Sustaining Lunar Development (SLD) program.
You will play a key role in developing the Lunar Permanence system that will
return humans to the Moon and extend human presence permanently beyond the
bounds of Earth.
We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership
skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human
spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!Primary
Responsibilities include:
Defining manual control and pilot override strategies to vehicle autonomy
Using astronaut task analysis and definition of override scenarios to derive
vehicle requirements and functions to that satisfy operational needs
Coordinate and decompose functional responsibilities between vehicle
subsystems to enable acceptable handling qualities
Deriving pilot interaction use cases and limitations of use
Identification for guidance and control strategies to enable manual control of
vehicle targeting, flight path, and attitude in coordination with GN&C
algorithm developers and piloting
Creating Manual Controls requirements, describing verification activities,
and orchestrating verification runs-for-record and validation exercises
Designing the Concept of Operations and requirements for Autonomous-to-Manual
command transitions for vehicle and subsystem control loops, and associated
limitations of useMinimum Qualifications:
Minimum of BS degree in Aerospace Engineering or related field
