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-liftorbital launch vehicle capable ofroutinelycarrying people and payloads to low-Earth orbit, geostationary transfer orbit, cislunar,and beyond.Its first stage is fully reusable, and the vehicle was designedfrom the beginningto be human-capable.
As part of a hardworking team of engineers, specialists, and technicians, you will work on systems engineering for the New Glenn Payload Accommodations Program. You will develop, allocate, manage, and verify requirements and interfaces using tools like DOORS Next Generation and other functional analysis toolsets. Your activities may include engagement in conducting trade studies, developing margins for allocations, risk management, gated reviews, system safety analysis, technical performance management, configuration and data management, payload integration, and regulatory compliance. Our team is also responsible for verifying that our customers will have a phenomenal ride to space.
