Application Software Engineer II - Avionics Hardware Component Test

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 spaceflight! This 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.

Job Description

New Glenn is Blue Origin's orbital launch vehicle, and all avionics equipment that flies on it must be verified before it leaves the ground. As part of a hardworking team of engineers, you will be an individual technical contributor on the Chassis Tester Software team - the engineers who build the software stack that makes that verification possible. This is not a test automation role in the traditional sense. You will write Linux instrument drivers, architect hardware-in-the-loop test frameworks, build the operator-facing tools that run on the test floor, and own the automated result-checking infrastructure that determines pass/fail for flight-critical hardware. Your software is the last line of defense before hardware ships.

Responsibilities:

• Work with internal customers to capture requirements, negotiate scope, and deliverables to meet Program milestones.
• Design and implement production-qualityinstrumentsoftware drivers for test instruments
• Work directly with avionics hardware engineers to understand instrument behavior, define operating envelopes, and validate driver correctness against hardware specs
• Architect and extend automated test execution frameworks
• Implement check logic, pass/fail criteria, limit management, and structured report generation for acceptance and qualification test campaigns

Required Qualifications:

• B.S. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 2+ years of professional softwarecoding andengineering experience.
• Proficiency withPythonor C++
• Proven experience developing software on LinuxOS
• Experience with the networking stack - socket programming, UDP/TCP and command transport, packet capture and parsing, network reliability handling and configuration
• Hands-on experience writing hardware interface software - instrument drivers
• Git workflow discipline, CI/CD

Preferred Qualifications:

• Familiarity with avionics test environments -automated test equipment(ATE)
• Knowledge of acceptance and qualification test processes in an aerospace hardware development lifecycle
• Familiarity withProcessor-in-Loop (PIL) design and deployfor test
