At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in spacefor the benefit of Earth. We're working to develop reusable, safe, andlow-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety,collaboration, and inclusion. Join our diverse team of problem solvers as weadd new chapters to the history of spaceflight!
This role is part of the Lunar Permanence business unit, which develops BlueOrigin's multiple Blue Moon lander product lines. To further Blue Origin'smission of having millions of people living and working in space, we arebuilding sustainable infrastructure for our transport of crew and cargo fromEarth to the lunar surface.
As part of a diverse and hardworking team of engineers, you will join ourteam within the Guidance, Navigation, and Controls (GNC) IPT. Youwill share in the team's impact in the development of complex,optionally-piloted spacecraft from Earth to the Moon! You will own and drivedecisions and artifacts of the manual control system design andrequirements, conduct trade studies for system-level manual controlarchitectures, coordinate development of the engineering flight simulator,and closely support flight simulator testing of handling qualities and manualcontrol modes. You will collaborate closely with other subsystems andspacecraft systems engineers to define spacecraft functions, requirements,boundaries, interfaces, and technical performance measures. You willderive methodologies for pilot situational awareness and the associatedfeature requirements for spacecraft sensing, kinematics, and dynamicsrequired to enable precision piloted lunar landing, docking, and generalmissio
You will work directly with NASA and our National Team Partners as part of theHuman Landing System (HLS) Sustaining Lunar Development (SLD) program.You will play a key role in developing the Lunar Permanence system that willreturn humans to the Moon and extend human presence permanently beyond thebounds of Earth.
