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! We are a diverse 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. As part of a small, passionate, and accomplished team of experts, you will be responsible for designing, developing and delivering entry, descent, and landing (EDL) systems for launch, in-space systems, planetary landers and crewed vehicles. You will be working on expanding our presence beyond low Earth orbit, and developing sustainable access architectures to space and planetary surfaces. You should be comfortable working in a fast-paced and often uncertain environment, contributing to innovative solutions, while demonstrating personal leadership, technical competence, and attention to detail. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your dedicated commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable spaceflight. Responsibilities Design, develop, test, deliver, and operate highly reliable descent, and decelerator systems to support earth and planetary landers and crewed vehicles Develop decelerator system requirements with flow downs to components Execute decelerator system simulations and analyses in support of requirement generation, verification, configuration optimization, and trade studies Work closely with systems and design engineers to develop integrated design solutions, rapidly assess conceptual designs, and establish requirements and performance parameters Design systems and components to meet requirements. Participate in gated reviews, concept studies, and preliminary design activities Lead or support component, subsystem, and vehicle level tests Lead safe landing research and studies including internal and external engagements. Conduct independent and collaborative research (and development) to increase technology readiness levels of Blue Origin's decelerator systems in support of Blue Origin's vision of enabling a future where millions of people are living and working in space Qualifications: Passion for Blue Origin's mission: Millions of people living and working in space!
