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 and repeatable 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. This position reports to the Flight Mechanics Section in Blue Origin's Space Systems Development business unit. As part of a hardworking team of diverse engineers, you will develop aerospace multidisciplinary models and simulations using platforms ranging from desktop computers, software-in-the-loop simulation, hardware-in-the-loop labs, to on-vehicle simulation. You will perform trade studies and system performance analysis to support vehicle parachute configurations and flight test program. You will work in a collaborative environment of parachute subject matter experts across industry and government organizations to pursue advanced design and technology solutions. Your efforts will further the design of a Blue Origin funded versatile spacecraft that will serve a wide variety of customers. On this program, you will experience the full lifecycle from formulation to flight in a short time, while achieving historic milestones! We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!
