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! This position is part of the Space Systems Development (SSD) business unit. SSD develops next-generation concepts and systems to advance our future of living and working in space sustainably. Blue Origin is committed to a vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth. Enabling this future requires more affordable, reliable, and available access to orbit. Reusability is key to all three goals. New Glenn's reusable first stage is our first step, but you help us achieve total reusability. Come join our team to help work on the hardest problems in rocketry. As part of a hardworking team of diverse spacecraft development engineers, you will lead the development and delivery of the Guidance, Navigation and Control Subsystem for a developmental space system. Your responsibilities will include synthesis of algorithms, creation of flight software, derivation and development of subsystem requirements, performing analyses and trade studies, and supporting the full lifecycle of GN&C design through flight completion. We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!
