Systems Engineer III - New Glenn Components

Application close date:Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed.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 spaceflightThis role supports the development and operations of New Glenn, a single-configuration, heavy-lift orbital launch vehicle capable of routinely carrying people and payloads to low-Earth orbit, geostationary transfer orbit, cislunar, and beyond. Its first stage is fully reusable, and the vehicle was designed from the beginning to be human-capable.As part of a hardworking team of engineers, specialists, and technicians, you will work on systems engineering for the New Glenn Valves, Actuators, and Components Technology group. 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.You will be the authority on all aspects of your component's product lifecycle through initial concepts, detail design, requirements definition, testing, verification, and validation activities. You will collaborate with the stage-level systems engineers and ensure that our customers are provided with a high quality, cost effective, and robust component solution that meets their needs.We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight.
