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 team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! The role is part of the In-Space Systems business unit, which is focused on addressing two of the most compelling challenges in spaceflight today: space infrastructure and increasing mobility on-orbit. As part of a hardworking team of engineers, you will have the outstanding opportunity to contribute to the development, production, and operation of Blue Ring, and play a key role in enabling Blue Origin's vision of millions of people living and working in space. The Senior Flight Software Engineer will play a crucial role in defining, developing, and testing the flight software for upcoming Blue Ring uncrewed spacecraft. You will work with a team of engineers to understand how the software will be used, define requirements, create real-time software using modern embedded C/C++ techniques, and ensure the continued quality of our products through test and pipeline development. You will help shape and implement new capabilities in support of product line upgrades and mission-unique needs. There will also be opportunities to expand your understanding of satellite systems by supporting other areas such as avionics hardware and mission operations, and participating in the buildup and test of the actual flight vehicles. This role in particular is expected to operate with a higher level of autonomy within small teams on compartmented programs, directly impacting the customer solutions and mission-unique software. Your efforts will directly contribute to a first-of-its-kind system that enables our customers to fly to space and move around like never before, and we look forward to seeing if this role is the right fit for you! Our technical expectations are high for this role, and we expect each of our team members to embody our leadership principles including resourcefulness, deliver results, bias for action, and technical ambition and simplicity.
