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! This role is part of the Lunar Permanence business unit. To further Blue Origin's mission of having millions of people living and working in space, we are building the sustainable infrastructure for our transport of crew and cargo from Earth to the Lunar Surface. As part of a hardworking team of diverse spacecraft development engineers, you will lead the Flight Autonomy and Local Autonomy Application activities as part of the Mentorship Navigation and Control (GN&C) team. Your responsibilities will include derivation and development of subsystem requirements, algorithm development for use in flight software, and associated analyses to see the product through the full lifecycle of development including integration, testing, verification, and validation. In this role, you will use your experience to lead and participate in the implementation of on-board autonomy for mechanical, thermal, fluid, and gaseous control systems. You will work directly with NASA and our National Team Partners as part of the Human Landing System (HLS) Sustaining Lunar Development (SLD) program. You will play a key role in developing the Lunar system that will return humans to the Moon and extend human presence permanently beyond the bounds of Earth. We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and dedication to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required! Responsibilities: Lead a mission-focused flight autonomy team. Support architecture development, definition of GN&C mode states and transitions, and concept of operations. Derive and develop autonomy requirements, perform analyses and trades to validate requirements, and maintain subsystem specification, and performance metrics. Collaborate with GN&C and other subsystems and spacecraft systems engineers in the development of low- and high-fidelity plant models. Support the development, and execution of simulations and tools required for verification of functionalities. Use Matlab and Simulink to analyze, unit test, and verify control and autonomy algorithms. Support verification and testing, ensuring the subsystem complies with its requirements. Minimum Qualifications: Minimum of a B.S. in aerospace, mechanical, or electrical engineering Applied industry experience and/or M.S. or Ph.D. focused on the development of spacecraft autonomy and controls Proven experience in the modeling and simulation of autonomy and control operations Familiarity with flight management, guidance, control, navigation, and astrodynamics fundamentals Experience in Matlab, Simulink, and Stateflow Experience developing embedded control systems for complex aerospace systems Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum Preferred Qualifications: M.S. or Ph.D. in aerospace engineering or related technical field Experience in full lifecycle development of GN&C and/or Autonomy on spacecraft Experience designing, evaluating, and simulating state machines Experience architecting safety-critical autonomous systems Experience with collaboration tools such as Confluence and JIRA Familiarity with DO-178, DO-160, and DO-254 or similar guidelines Compensat
