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! This role is part of the Lunar Permanence business unit, which develops Blue Origin's multiple Blue Moon lander product lines. To further Blue Origin's mission of having millions of people living and working in space, we are building sustainable infrastructure for our transport of crew and cargo from Earth to the lunar surface. As part of a diverse and hardworking team of engineers, you will join our team within the Guidance, Navigation, and Controls (GN&C) IPT. You will share in the team's impact in the development of complex, optionally-piloted spacecraft from Earth to the Moon! You will own and drive decisions and artifacts of the manual control system design and requirements, conduct trade studies for system-level manual control architectures, coordinate development of the engineering flight simulator, and closely support flight simulator testing of handling qualities and manual control modes. You will collaborate closely with other subsystems and spacecraft systems engineers to define spacecraft functions, requirements, boundaries, interfaces, and technical performance measures. You will derive methodologies for pilot situational awareness and the associated feature requirements for spacecraft sensing, kinematics, and dynamics required to enable precision piloted lunar landing, docking, and general mission execution. You will work directly with NASA and our National Team Partners as part of the Human Landing System (HLS) Sustaining Lunar Development (SLD) program. You will play a key role in developing the Lunar Permanence system that will return humans to the Moon and extend human presence permanently beyond the bounds of Earth. 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! Primary Responsibilities include: Defining manual control and pilot override strategies to vehicle autonomy Using astronaut task analysis and definition of override scenarios to derive vehicle requirements and functions to that satisfy operational needs Coordinate and decompose functional responsibilities between vehicle subsystems to enable acceptable handling qualities Deriving pilot interaction use cases and limitations of use Identification for guidance and control strategies to enable manual control of vehicle targeting, flight path, and attitude in coordination with GN&C algorithm developers and piloting Creating Manual Controls requirements, describing verification activities, and orchestrating verification runs-for-record and validation exercises Designing the Concept of Operations and requirements for Autonomous-to-Manual command transitions for vehicle and subsystem control loops, and associated limitations of use Minimum Qualifications: Minimum of BS degree in Aerospace Engineering or related field Proven experience in manual control strategy and design, including GN&C development for Manual Control of a space vehicle's flight path and attitude Experience in working with pilots on handling quality assessment Proficiency in development of requirements, interfaces, trades, and analyses for space vehicles Understand the relationship between attitude control, vehicle configuration, spacecraft dynamics, actuators, sensors, and automation Experience with performing system safety analyses including Functional Hazard Assessments; Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analyses; and Fault Tree Analysis Excellent written and verbal communication skills Highly organized and cap
