Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! This role supports the development and operations of New Glenn, a single-configuration, heavy-lift orbital launch vehicle capable of routinely carrying people and payloads to low-Earth orbit, geostationary transfer orbit, cislunar, and beyond. Its first stage is fully reusable, and the vehicle was designed from the beginning to be human-capable. We are a dynamic 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. You will write software for automating testing of components, collecting data, and analyzing the data. Your software will be used for the determination of critical metrics and must be reliable and robust 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! Responsibilities include but are not limited to: Support the design, build, and commissioning of component test systems for New Glenn Develop and maintain data acquisition (DAQ) software to capture and manage test data from instrumented hardware Design and implement post-processor software to reduce, analyze, and visualize test data for engineering review Develop and maintain control software for automated and semi-automated test stand operations Support the design of electrical systems and hardware used to collect and route test data, including sensor integration and signal conditioning Collaborate with engineers to define instrumentation requirements and data architecture Troubleshoot and resolve hardware and software issues during test er commissioning and operations Maintain thorough documentation of software, hardware designs, and test configurations Contribute to continuous improvement of test infrastructure, tools, and processes Support test execution activities as needed
