Work in Washington Veterans Jobs

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 diverse team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! We are a diverse team of collaborators, doers, and problem-solvers who are relentlessly committed to a culture of safety. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your commitment and detailed attention towards safe, repeatable, and cost-effective space flight. Join us in lowering the cost of access to space and enabling Blue Origin's vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth. Blue Origin is self-funding rapid development of multiple in-space flight systems - over a range of sizes, propellant types, technical challenges, and operational goals. This position is part of the In-Space Systems (ISS) business unit and supports the Blue Ring program, 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 the Spacecraft Systems Engineering (SSE) team, you will be exposed to an environment that allows you to engage in rapid design/build iteration, work with a world-class team, and experience the full lifecycle from formulation to flight in a short time. In this role, you will be responsible for developing our fault management and system autonomy (FMSA) architecture with an emphasis on associated processes, products, and analyses over all mission phases. You will work with fault protection and system autonomy requirements development, testing, validation, and verification efforts. 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. We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and dedication to quality to increase accessibility to space. Passion for our mission and vision is required! If you're excited by providing near-term value, solving novel problems, and expanding your technical toolkit, please apply! Responsibilities (including but not limited to): Establish and control fault management architectures including design principles and requirements Define redundancy architecture, including cross-strapping and fault containment regions for integrated systems Architect, design, and analyze autonomous behaviors, modes, and states Plan and execute integrated system Fault Management and Autonomy Verification and Validation efforts Monitor and approve fault management and autonomy design, development, and test Drive process improvements with a sense of ownership and urgency Qualifications: Minimum of a B.S. degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Aerospace engineering, Physics, or an equivalent technical field 5+ years of experience Experience with systems engineering principles and processes as they relate to the development of a spacecraft Demonstrated experience with fault-tolerance strategies and architectures for safety and mission critical systems Experience with autonomous system design, analysis, and test Experience with the lifecycle development of space systems, including requirement definition, design solution definition, implementation, integration, verification and validation, qualification, commissioning, and operation First principles knowledge of major spacecraft subsystems Familiarity with safety and mission assurance analyses including Failure Modes Effects and Criticality Analyses (FMECA), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), an
