About this role

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 within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. This role supports New Glenn, a heavy-lift orbital launch vehicle capable of carrying people and payloads to orbit and beyond.

As a Senior Systems Engineer on the New Glenn Systems Engineering Integration and Test team, apply broad multidisciplinary engineering knowledge to create processes for development, implementation, certification, and sustainment. Requires deep understanding of requirements definition, verification, validation, functional analysis, modeling, simulation, and system safety analysis. Support alignment of systems engineering practices from system level through program tiers.

Join a hardworking team of engineers working across vehicle stages and subsystems for integrated launch system design, build, certification, and sustainment. Utilize and develop processes ensuring consistent implementation with multidisciplinary teams to create technical solutions. Help develop metrics for program health and progress toward major milestones.

Lead projects to implement systems engineering processes and tools in a fast-paced environment. Lead operational excellence initiatives and continuous improvement for the function. Perform at a high level supporting major milestones and program reviews.
