Aerospace Systems Engineer II (top Secret Clearance Required)

Blue Origin Spacecraft Systems Engineering Position

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 team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! The role is part of the In-Space Systems business unit, which is focused on development, manufacturing, and operation of satellite systems to address one of the most compelling challenges in spaceflight today: space mobility.

As part of our Blue Ring Spacecraft Systems Engineering team you will help ensure that requirements, system designs and operations are shaped to meet program needs. You will assist in the definition and verification of system requirements, interfaces, architecture, and con ops. Finally, you will work with all program interfaces including Assembly, Integration, & Test (AI&T), Mission Systems, Launch Vehicle, Payloads, and Mission Operations.

The position requires strong collaboration within the SSE team and across the entire program. In this fast-paced and dynamic environment, you will contribute to innovative solutions while demonstrating personal leadership, technical competence and judgement, and a commitment to the highest technical standards.

Special Mentions:

• Travel expected up to 10% of the time
• Top Secret clearance desired
• Experience and familiarity with flight software desired

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Work with the program's Lead Systems Engineer to ensure compliance with design standards, processes, and general best practices.
• Apply a variety of technical principles and tools in Systems Engineering such as CONOPs development, requirements definition and analysis, and interface definition.
• Decompose high-level requirements into lower-level system architecture, system design requirements, and functional block diagrams.
• Work with subsystems to ensure proper requirements definition, verification and validation plans, consistency with system and mission objectives.
• Coordinate with specialty engineering functions in support of subsystem development teams.
• Oversee verification and validation strategies, plans and processes to ensure software and hardware components, and the integrated spacecraft subsystems will meet system requirements and mission goals.
• Create and oversee the execution of test plans, procedures and generation of results reports.
• Collaborate with other program elements (I&T, ground systems, flight operations, mission management, and systems architecture) to understand their needs and create holistic solutions.
• Identify and assist in the management of technical, schedule and cost risks.
• Work with the flight software team to resolve implementation issues, review the software development processes, link their development to L3 and L4 requirements and needed functional behaviors.
• Assist in the planning and develop of system-level verification methods and events.
• Support and collaborate with the Assembly, Integration and Test team in developing test procedures and scripts.
• Support integration activities "on the oor" in the spacecraft assembly facility.
• Assist with proposals based on knowledge of spacecraft capabilities and functions.
• Manage technical performance measures for the overall vehicle.
