Systems Engineer II

Summary

Blue Origin is a company focused on developing reusable and safe space vehicles. The Systems Engineer II role involves supporting the development and operations of the New Glenn launch vehicle, applying system engineering practices, and ensuring consistent implementations across the program.

Responsibilities

• Support 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
• Work across subsystems and support integrated solutions to achieve our vision of 'millions of people living and working in space'
• Apply system engineering practices across subject areas predicated to a high degree on your technical skills
• Support the development of system engineering processes for the program
• Ensure consistent implementations across the program
• Serve in a system integration capacity working with multi-discipline teams to arrive at technical system solutions
• Support requirements definition, validation, and verification of requirements at all levels of the program using tools like DOORS Next Gen, system lifecycle configuration management tools, and other functional analysis toolsets
• Understand and support requirements analysis and traceability, functional analysis, systems analysis, safety analysis, technical performance monitoring, verification planning and closure, and test plan development
• Ensure the alignment and consistent implementation of New Glenn system engineering practices from system to lower-level program tiers
• Participate in gated reviews, develop health metrics to support insight into program health and tracking to major milestones
