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.

Its first stage is fully reusable, and the vehicle was designed from the beginning to be human-capable. As a Sr. Avionics Systems Engineer working directly with the New Glenn Avionics Chief Architect, you will define what is possible for the next generation of launch vehicle avionics. You will rapidly evaluate and demonstrate emerging technologies, mature them to the point of confidence, and hand proven, ambitious baselines to design teams. This is a role for an engineer who has owned hardware end-to-end as a Responsible Engineer - and who also sees how every box, bus, and cable in an avionics system fits together. Special Mentions
- This is an on-site role in Kent, WA, co-located with our primary New Glenn Avionics design, lab, and integration teams
- Relocation assistance is provided
- Travel is expected to be up to approximately 10% of the time to support test campaigns, vehicle integration, launch site activities, and supplier engagements
Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
- Work directly with the New Glenn Avionics Chief Architect as a trusted technical partner on architecture direction, technology strategy, and cross-subsystem problem solving
- Quickly and effectively conduct evaluation and demonstration of critical new technologies that have the potential to enable major improvements in next-generation avionics designs, maturing them to the point where they can be baselined and turned over to design teams
- Establish an aggressive but achievable baseline for new avionics products, challenging assumptions on performance, cost, mass, and schedule
- Conduct system-level analysis and testing to support the operation of current and future avionics systems
- Lead architecture-level trade studies spanning compute, networking, power, instrumentation, harnessing, and software interfaces
- Build and execute rapid prototyping and demonstration plans, including breadboard/brassboard development, lab test setups, and data-driven maturity assessments
- Translate demonstrated results into
