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 is part of Blue Origin Operations, which is comprised of Integrated Supply Chain, Test Operations, Safety, Quality, and Mission Assurance. This includes Manufacturing and Supply Chain support across all Blue Origin facilities.

This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your dedication and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable space flight.

As part of a hardworking team of engineers, you will design and deploy test systems and software for various spaceflight systems. You will share in the team's impact on all aspects of component, sub-assembly, and vehicle level testing. We develop ground test data acquisition and control systems based on NI CompactRIO, CompactDAQ, PXI, Allen Bradley, Siemens, and other hardware that will test fluid, mechanical, and electrical development and avionics systems for our engines, launch vehicles, and launch and landing systems. Our team provides support for business units and programs across Blue Origin for critical development, qualification, and acceptance testing.

In this role, you will be responsible for developing and integrating features into our existing test platform deployed to the test cells and systems at Blue. You will be supporting automation software to drive cadence of test campaigns, develop high throughput data processing and data transfer pipelines from on-premises hardware, integrate existing applications with new internal and external drivers, databases, APIs, etc. and modernize parts of our legacy platform to use the latest tools and practices. This role will also require working knowledge and skills of electro-mechanical and fluid systems that are sensed and controlled by our software. Additionally, you will participate in code and design reviews on a multi-developer team, write automated unit tests and integration tests in conjunction with our DevOps and System Engineers, and add new technologies to our platform. Further, you will be expected to deliver, educate, and support our group's platform for the other internal test teams within Blue Origin.
